WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARSTaS HAND IS
AGAIN SHOWN IN FRANK CASE


To what extent is William Ran
dolph Hearst and his new paper, the
Atlanta Georgian, to blame for the
hanging Of Leo Frank?
Nathan Straus, department store
millionaire of New York, accuses a
Georgia editor of blame for the hang
ing of Frank The editor who filled
his newspapers with 'inflammatOry
articles that were published to spur
on the mob" should be tried for muir
der, StTaus declares.
This statement by Straus was
printed in the early edition of
Eearst's Examiner this morning. 1t
was taken out of the final edition.
StraUs stated in New York last night:
"The state of Georgia must prose-
cute all the mUTderers, for this crime
is a disgrace not only there, but
throughout the whole country. The
authorities should begin with the
Georgia editor whose newspapers /
have been filled with inf1ammatOry
articles that were published to spur
on the mob. This editor is to blame
more than many of those in the party
that took their victim from the hands
Of the officers of the law. He should
be tried for murder"
The Day Book printed a few weeks
ago the findings of a Kansas City Star
reporter named A B. Mcdonald on
the Atlanta situation. That story in
The Day Book was based on reprints
from the Kansas City Star in the San
Francisco Bulletin, edited by Fremont
Older. The headline of the San Fran
csico Bulletin said: Hearst Hounds
Leo Frank to- GaIlows' Foot"
1t was assumed throughout that
Hearst was working in Atlanta the
same reckless styles of crazy smash
ing which marks his policies through
out, from Wilson and Bryan as ma
ton figures to the Bernstein murder

fact the jury returned a verdict Of
not guilty.
Fake after fake was printed by
Hearst's Atlanta Georgian during
those days when Leo Frank was
under arrest and the police and the
states attorney were hunting evil
dence and the people of Atlanta we're
making up their minds who was
guilty. One wild story followed an
other on Leo Frank as a probable
sex peTvert and just the sort of a
man to kill Mary Phagan.
On the night of the murder of
Mary Phagan, Leo Frank wouldn't
sleep with his wife; slept on the floor;
told his wife he was going to kill
himself because he had killed a girl.
That's what HeaTst's Georgian ped
died to the street mObs of Atlanta
and the homes Of Georgia. Later it
corrected the story as untrue. The
correction was made in small type,
inside page.
A sporting woman named Forms
by made sworn statement that Frank
phOned her for a room at her house
and said he wanted to bring a little
girl along with him. That was an
other story Hearst's Georgian ran.
All this helped fire the Atlanta BRAIN
storm. The sporting woman chang
ed her story later and wouldn't swear
to it on a witness stand. But Hearst's
Georgian had already gotten in it's
story.
Leo Frank trembled when arrest
ed. Didn't stand cool and calm like
an innocent man. So said Hearst's
Georgian. Just as though innocent
men never get excited.
1t would take two pages of The
Day Book to list the stories faxed by .
Hearst on Leo Frank. Besides fax
ing, every true incident in the case
