LEO FRANK'S CASK
Yesterday ia discussing the re
ceiit development iu the Leo Frank
case Jt Atlanta, Mr. E. L Wade of
this place, whose brother, as judge
ot the appellate court at Georgia,
passed on the merits of the find
ings of the lower courts in this
"cause celebre," said:—
-1 have followed this.case close
ly, uot alone, because of the fact
t'hac I am a native Georgian, but
because of the nation-wide Interest
aroused by ths peculiar and sensa
tional features developed by the
testimony and the question-of credi
bility that attached to the sworn
statements of the negro who was
the principal witness for the prose
cution. Having had some experience
in dv court reporting work with the
reliability of the negro.I hare often
b-i-u ^aked by those unfamiliar with
hit characteristics whether .his tes
timony could be believed under
any circumstances. I must
confess to a large lack of faith
fu }h« sincerity of the Southern ne
gro, or his credibility as .a "wit
ness. He seems to have no sei.se
of the serious import ot sworn tes
timony, and 1 have seen him del
iberately per jure, himself without
apoareutly having any material ad
vantage to gain thereby. His evi
dence in a court of Justice In the
Southern states has ordinarily little
weight
"In the Frank case, it was not
tiir negro's evidence alone that
lumod the scale. The girls who
testified certainly did not make flat
tering disclosures as to thg stand
ard of morality maintained .by
Frank, who to say the least, was
a pervert. I
"As for racial prejudice I can
say that in my home city where the
.ocial lines are rigidly drawn and
where there prevails an atmosphere
of culture and gentility unsur
passed in the Bourbon South—a city'
that is the birth place of Henry W.
Grady and Emory Speer—there are
many Jewish families who have the
"entre" of the most exclusive cir- 1
cle6.
"Racial prejudice" is a phantasy
conjured in the muck-raking pages
of Collier's, and had no part . In
the conviction of Frank. All the
advices I have received from Geor
gia from peopie v.-ho are not prone i
to hysteria or blinded by prejudice
or passion, is that Frank was guilty
• .iid alone killed Mary Phagan.
"Hundreds of thousands .have
been poured into the coffers of the
defense, and every legal expedient
exhausted to save . his life, and
when so many courts passed . on
I he case adversely it seems strange
that such a large number of peo
*ple maintain there bas been a
miscarriage of justice.. Atlanta is
a commercial city and not.prone to
"emotional" justice, so you can
readily realize how deeply the be
lief in Frank's guilt has taken
held when, you read the demonstra
tions of disapproval of the govern
or's action that have compelled the
guarding of his home by the mili
tia to protect his person and pro
perty." 1

America Has Surprised the World by Her
Interest In Welfare of Mankind
By H. G. WELLS. Noted English Auihor
THERE has been much in America, much said and much done, since
the war broke out that has surprised the world. I may confess for
mvself, and I believe that I shall speak for many other European
in this matter, that what we feared most in the United States was levity.
We expected mere excitement, violent fluctuations of opinion, a cor
fused irresponsibility and possibly mischiovous and disastrous interven
tions. It is no good hiding an open secret. We judged America by the
peace headline. It is time we began to offer our apologies to Americo
and democracy. The result of reading endless various American news
papers and articles, of following the actions of the American govern
ment, of talking to representative Americans, is TO REALIZE T1IE
EXISTENCE OF A VERY CLEAR, STRONG NATIONAL MEN
TALITY, A FIRM, SELF CONTROLLED, COLLECTIVE WILL,
FAR MORE CONSIDERABLE IN ITS TOTALITY THAN THE.
WORLD HAS EVER SEEN BEFORE.
We thought the United States would be sentimentality patriotic and
irresponsible; that they would behave as though the "new world" was
indeed a separate planet and as though they had neither duties nor
brotherhood in Europe.
IT IS QUITE CLEAR, ON THE CONTRARY, THAT THE PEOPLE OF
THE UNITED STATES CONSIDER THI8 WAR AS THEIR AFFAIR ALSO
AND THAT THEY HAVE THE KEENEST SENSE OF THEIR RESPONSI
BILITY FOR THE GENERAL WELFARE OF MANKIND.
Even in national affairs the great cause of peace could not fail to be
advanced if women had the suffrage, and peace and good will between
the nations and the amelioration of the economically oppressive system
of preparation for war under which the modern industrial world groan*
are surely among the foremost demands of the moral spirit of our civiliza
tion.
