FOR LEO FRANK
x
i
Many Witnesses Repudiate Their Tes
t
timony at Trial—Convicted Man
Expects New Trial.
ATLANTA, Ga., April 27.—Leo M.
Frank, formerly of Brooklyn, senten
ced to die today for the revolting mur
der of 14-year-old Mary Phagan,
today passed Into his thirty-first year.
He was thirty years old yesterday. He
today declared he is confident he can
prove his innocence on the evidence,
which private detectives employed by
his millionaire uncle claim to have
unearthed.
The grounds on which the defense
demanded a new trial are: Repudia
tion by half a dozen witnesses of in
ferential statements made by the
prosecution in closing. Coercion of
witnesses by city detectives, anxious
to "make a case.” Refusal of pros
ecuting officers to investigate every
version of the Phagan murder and to
take proper precautions to prevent
miscarriage of justice. New evidence
that Frank was on the street in At
lanta at the time at which witnesses
heard screams, presumably of the
murdered girl, in passing by the Na
tional Pencil Company factory.
Four new witnesses will swear to
the last named point—the strongest
link in the chain of evidence of
Frank’s alleged innocence which the
pr'vate detectives have been able to
forge. Moreover, it is announced that
several unnamed persons will tes
tify, if necessary, that the insinua
tion was made to them by certain de
tectives, alleged to have been act
ing for the prosecution, that there
was "something in it” for them if
they testified to hearing the screams
and seeing Frank emerge from the
pencil factory at a stated time.
The attorneys for Frank also will
allege that Solicitor H. M. Dorsey,
who prosecuted the Frank case, flat
ly refused to permit medical exami
nation of hair found on a lathe in
the pencil factory. The defense
claims this hair was not that of the
Phagan girl and that the state’s
charge to this effect could have been
misproved if examination were made.
In this connection Frank’s counsel
allege that Dr. F. H. Harris told the
solicitor that his (Dorsey’s) brother,
a physician, might examine this hair
and he would find it not to be Mary
Phagan’s—but that Dorsey flatly re
fused to go further into this tangle.
A number of girls will repudiate im -
putations as to Frank’s character, ad
duced by the prosecution. The tes
timony of the negro watchman, Jim
Conley, who swore that he assisted
Frank in disposing of the girl’s body,
and who, it was admitted, was main
ly responsible for the jury’s death
verdict, is to be bitterly attacked by
the defense. They centered their fight
on his version, which he changed sev
eral times while on the stand.
Atlanta was distinctly excited to
day with the expectation that the
greatest court room battle in a decade
would be staged to save Frank. A
Cornell graduate married tb a young
wire, and heretofore highly respect
ed as studious and quiet, the ver
dict that he had accomplished the
horrible crime against little Mary
Phagan shocked the community.
There was evidence also that Frank
had little girls visit him in his of
fice after work The condemned man
fought ineffectually through the trial
court and two higher tribunals to
prove his innocence.

WOMEN DENUDED
DEM TROOPS
#
Colorado State Guard Coneiet* of 600
Men—Striker* Have 3,000 Arm
ed Men Ready
DENVER, Colo., April 27.—Four
hundred women refused to leave this
city last Saturday until the lieutenant
governor had wired to Washington
asking .for the aid of the United
States troops to put down the rebel
lion of the coal miners at Trinidad
and Ludlow.
Nothing would satisfy the women
but the sending of the request for
troops and when it had been grant
ed they sang the doiology to show
their joy.
The governor has also called an
extra session of the state legislature
for May 4th to take action to es
tablish order in the state. The state
national guard consists of 600 men,
while more than 3,000 strikers are well
armqd and detrained to fight to the
end for higher wages and better liv
ing conditions.
The legislature will be asked to al
low a large number of special dep
uty sheriffs recruited from among
the men who know how to shoot and
who will be placed in control of the
mine buildings with'orders to shoot
the first striker attempting to dam
age the mines.
CANON CITY, Colo., April 27.—
The striking mine workers today rout
ed the guards at the Chandler mine,
near here, dynamited the building,
killed four of the guards and pos
sibly 12 others, who are missing but
whose bodies have not been located.
The strikers started to Are on the
guards, drove them from the build
ing, threw dynamite into the differ
ent buildings and soon had them
burned to the ground.
The attack was entirely unexpect
ed, as the strikers entered into a
truce with the militia and mine op
erators on Saturday and promised
to make no attack until an opportun
ity for a settlement had been given.
The guards did not Are until the
men made the attack, as they knew
of the truce agreement and were
taken by surprise.
DENVER, April 27. The state au
thorities here are indignant at the
attack of the strikers on the Chandler j
mine near Canon City and claim that j
the strikers have broken the truce j
they arranged with the militia on
Saturday. The state officials claim
that from now on no peace will be
offered to the strikers, but. that the
militia will be instructed to shoot to
kill all srikers who enter the prop
erty of the mine owners and to ar
rest all others who are caught with
in tlie strike zone and hold them in
the bull pens to be built at conven
ient places.
The officials plan an energetic
campaign against the coal miners, who
are mostly foreigners.
The officials of the Western Fed
eration of Miners, however, claim that
the state officials broke the truce
when they wired for the aid of the
regular army and that they are not
going to wait until a Urgie number of
troops reach the district, but' intend
to Aght while they have a chance.
