Atlanta valued at from $lO,OOO te

connection with the matter: Some

Notary Tells of Affidavits.
K. 1. Callaghan, a notary public
in the office of SEmith, Hammond &
Smith, No. 09 Grant Building, was
the man before whom the affidavits
»f Ragsdale and Barber were sworn,
“Burns was not there, Neither was
Tedder,” sald Callaghan to The Geor
gian Thursday. "I read the atlidavits
over to the men, word by word, |
was unusually cautious because of the
many mix-ups that have come in the
rank case,
"l asked each of them if they un-
Aerstood everything that was con
tuinad in the affidavite and if every
statement was the truth. Then they
ra'sed their right hands and swore
to the truth of the affidavits,
““I'he aMdavits were taken in the
private office of Mr. L. % Rosser on
the seventh floor of this bullding.
There were present when the minis
ter and his companion swore to the
afMdavite, Dan Lehon, John K. Tip
petl, u stenographer for the Rosser-
Brapdon firm, and myself. Mr. Ros
ser was in the bullding, but not in
hig private office at the swearlng of
the men. HStlles Hopking, erroneously
reported to have heen the notary
publie hefore whom the afMdavits
were taken, was not present.”
Mr, Tippett said that the two men
presented themselves in Attorney
Rosser's office and professed to have
information of value to Frank. They
were questioned clokely by the lawyer,
who was impressed by the fact that
Ragsdale was a minister and that he
gave high references as to his probity
and good standing.
After Mr. Rogger had the essential
details of their story he dictated af
fidavits to Tippett, who transcribed
them on the typewriter. They were
thén read to the two men and knlnr,\'
Callaghan was called In and again
weht ver the affidavits with the men,
Grand Jury Probe Rumored.
In courthouse circleés it is rumored
that the new Grand Jury, to be
chosen next week, will be asked by
Solicitor Dorsey to investigate the

The report of the Plam Street Bap
tist Church committee asserted that
the minister confessed on Mondav
n!ght that he had perjured himseif
and that he then tendered his resig
failon. The committee sald the
preacher told them that In the pres
ence of hig attorney, (‘olonel Arthur
Thurman, Detective Burns, Detective
Tedder and R, 1. Barber, the affid.-
Vit was secured from him tupon the

the enormity of his offense he wen'
to Solicitor General Dorsey and told
him his affidavit was false. Rags

Frank Makes
Another Appeal.
Frank 'l'hurmmv{xsmn another ap
pest “tar the people of Atlanta,” in
whith he sald:
“l have been advised not to make
further appeal for justice to the peo
ple, but 1 can not bring myself to be
lieve that the people would deny me
the small privilege of pleading my
cage hefore them.
“I am told that thera are many
people who do not hesgitate to gay
that 1 ought to be hanged whether |
had a fair trial or not, whether | am
guilty or not, but I can not bring my -
#elf to believe that they répresent a
majority
“l have had no trlal in the court
houge. Only the pretenge of one. The
question put up to the jury in my
ense was not ‘ie Leo M. Frank guilty,’
but it was ‘whose life shall it be,
Frank's or yours,’ and they decided
accordingly., | do not #o much blame
the courts and furors for denying me
Justice and « fair trial. It is the peo
ple themselves who are responsible,
It is they who have compelled the
Judges and the jurors to declde as
they have. 1 feel that I have a right
to appeal to the people becanse they
ara the lag! dourt of this State, high
er and more powerful than all the
other courts
Recalls the Testimony.
“Waus there ever a case in a Georgla
courthouse when the Jury '‘rejected
the testimony of eight good white
women in favor of the word of & de- |
graded negro? Coflley not only con
tradfcted me, but alsd Miss Corinthla
Hall, Mre Emma Clarke i‘reemen,
Mis. J. A, White, Miss Rebecca Car
gon, Misse Helen Kerng, Miss Mary
Pirk, Miss Dora SBmall and Miss Julla
Fuss,
“It was a part of Clfonley's lle that
alter he had carried the dead body to
the basement, he and | were talking
in my office and were interrupted by
the appearance of Miss (‘orinthin Hall
ad Mrs, Emma Clarke Freeman at
about 20 minutes past 1. Now, these
ladies were on the stand and swore
unequivocally that they left the fac
tory for the last time that day at
11:45 a. m., or, in other words, an
hour and 86 minutes hefore the hour
given by Conley, and they further
more swore that when they left there
remained 1 the factory Arthur
White, Mrs. White, Mrs, May Bar
rett, Mtre, Barrett's daughter, Henry
Dentiam, the stenograplier and my
gelf. Nows why should the jury take
the negro's word in preference to that
of these white women on a simple
question of fact? There was no
chance for a mistake on thelr parct. It
wad a square fssue between them and
the negro, their oath against his
oath. And, if Conley was lying on
this point, how can any part of his
story be believed for a moment? Then
take Milgs Helen Kepn's testimony.
She testified that at 1:10 p. m, she
sauw me at the corner of Whitehall
and Alabama streets, the very mo
ment when Canlev swore that he was
helping me dispose of the body.

Fletcher Praiseg Sailors.
High words of praise for the work
accomplished by the sailors during
their nine days on shoré in Vera
Cruz were contained in a stdtement
issued to-day by Rear Admiral
Fletcher just before he turned over
the command of the city ‘to General
Funston.
Admiral Fletcher praised the rour
age, disaipline and conscientious work
of the bluejackets, who, with the ma
rines, e¢leaned up Vera Crdz. The
brunt of the work, however, fell upon
the sailors.
During the nine days of naval oc
cupancy 11,000 firearms were seized
from Mexican houses to prevent
“sniping” at Americans.
Rear Admiral Badger stated that
he had not recetived any orders re
garding future movements of the At
lantic fleet.
The «(lerman steamer Ypiranga
sailed for Hurope to-day with a num
ber of German refugees on hoard. It
was the approach of the Ypiranga to
this port that led to the hasty seizure
of Vera Cruz, so that the war sup
plies on ooard could be prevented
from reaching Huerta.
