hole and seeing Frank commit the crime Of
sodom with "a lady from the fourth floor"
and Franks lawyers were afraid to try to
disprove it by the simple method of making
witness out Of every lady who worked On
that floor.
The Inference is unavoidable:
There 10as some W02nan on that floor a0ho
qcas guilty, and not willing to perjure herself
to save Frank.
And the negro also described how he
peeped and saw Frank at the same loathsome
business with a woman Of the town.
The negro described the womans position,
and Franks
1t is most difficult to believe that robust,
natural buck, like Conley, had ever seen
man and woman at that unnatural COM
MERGE, 0nya0hcrc else.
Negroes are not that way; and Of course
this negro had never been in a white brothel,
nor could he have acitnesscd that sort Of
thing, even if he had
Besides, his description of what he saw
through the key-hole makes it different, IN
the manner Of the thing, from any descrip-
ton you ever read or heard.
Let The Fra examine page 285 of the
14lst volume of Georgia Reports and then
remember that the State proved by white
witnesses that this abandoned woman of the
town oras a visitor of Frank at the factory
VIII you please reflect about the state of
mind produced by a systematic campaign
against lawful tribunals, acting according to
me-honored rules and principles?
Is it a healthy condition favorable to our
future, when newspapers clamor against con-
stltuted authorities?
Can you imagine any course more likely
to undermine the stability of our system,
and to encourage tumuits, disorders, riots,
and lynchings?
A Lincoln, Illinois, editor writes:
If the Jewish people of America gave money to
fight Leo M Franks case, it because Judge,
jury, Court, and higher courts were against him.
1t was because Frank faced the hopeless task of
beating the other fellow at his game.
Did you read anything that was more
insane more distorted in its idea of what is
right?
This Illinois editor tells his readers that
it was proper for the Jewish people to
finance national fight for Frank, because
''the Judge, the jury, court, and higher court
were against him."
Because the legal tribunals pronounced the
man guilty, the illegal tribunals must take
control of the case!
With that kind of reasoning, you can re-
solve the States back into chaotic lawless-
ness.
IF the Jewish people are to follow the
precedent set in the Frank case, no guilty
Jew can be legally punished, since we
have no other legal way to do it, than by
Jurles and Judges.
Apparently, we are put on notice, that our
laws our juries, and our judges have no
jurisdiction over a Jew who can command
Money.

The Fra. gives him more whiskey than any
one has heretofore DONE and Jim is so very
drunk that he is unfit for any earthly pur-
pose.
1t may surprise The Fra to learn that the
official record shows Jim Conley to have
been sober enough to have deceived four
white witnesses; and sober enough (ac-
cording to the belated theory of the defense)
to assault the girl, find cord to tie
securely around her neck, and then carry her
IN his arms down a stairway, and then doq0n
a ladder!
Two white men, Graham and Tillander,
saw Conley that morning, at the factory,
and they spoke to him; and they swore that
if he was drunk, they could not tell it.
Mrs. Arthur White saw him sitting where
he usually sat, and it was near noon, and he
did not appear to be drunk.

negro, Owe believe youp'
Does The Fra suppose that our Law al
lows the courts to say that to an accom-

Does The Fra know that the Law requires
the evidence of the guilt Of the accused to

Show us the ravished white girl whose
dead body was found with hemp cord i'm

Show us the negro rapist who @nitted no

Show us the case where a drunken coon
reverently placed the hands of his victim
across her bosom, after she was dead
Show us a case where a drunken coon,
sodden on whiskey, sat down beside his vic
tim, and wrote notes to her mother.
Show us the case where a negro raplst
reduced to writing his accusation against an
other negro, and then followed it up by hav-
ing the innocent coon arrested, time-slip
forged on him, and bloody shirt stealthily
put into his clothes barrel.
Show us another case where a negro &C
cused white man of assault and murder,
and where the white man was afraid to face
the negro.
Show us another case where the aoife of
the achite man, accused of immortality and
murder, refused for three q0eehs to go TO her
husband, in jail, in the same city.

He was the fifth man that the New York

In Georgia, the blood of Mary Phagan
yet cries IN vain for vengeance; and the Jew
who atrociously assaulted her, and choked
her to death, occupies luxurious quarters at
the State Farm, where the heat is famed
from him by electricity, and where rich
carpet keeps his delicate feet off tho bare
floor.
Does The Fro know that one white girl
swore that Frank took her into his private
office, the second day she o0orhe0 for him,
and tried to act indecently with her person?
Her name is Nellie Wood.
Does The Fra know that Frank tried to
tempt Nellie Pettis with money, and never
let her alone, until he saw she was not to be
bought?
Does The Fra know that eleven white
ladies went on the stand and swore to the
lascivious character which Frank had estab-
lished in his factory-the factory where
Mary Phagan was assaulted and murdered?
Does The Fra know that the official record
discloses the fact that Frank would creep
around the ladies' dressing room, while they
were partly undressed and leer at them
with the disgusting look which the lascivious
Jew is in the habit of casting upon young
and pretty Gentle women?
Does The Fra want to learn the real ma
ture of this sadistic pervert, Leo Frank?
