Frank, under sentence of death for the mur der here in April 1913, of Mary Pha gan, today gave out a statement to ! the public declaring his innocence of the crime and reviewing the circum stances surrounding bis trial and the legal steps taken to obtain for him a rehearing or the setting aside of the verdict. Frank's statement was given out from his cell in the Fulton County Jail, where he has been Confined since his arrest several days following the j discovery of Mary Phagan's body In tho basement of the pencil factory of which Frank was superintendent. He declared he has been "prosecuted wrongfully and grotesquely for a | crime of which I have, no knowledge," and mentioned that in all the steps I taken for a new trial the question or his guilt or innocenco has never been reviewed by the higher courts, but ! only the legality of the proceedings have been considered. Commenting upon the conditions and circumstances surrounding his ! trial in Atlanta in July and August, ! 1913, the prisoner in his statement says: "The jurors heard th? demon strations both within and without the court room, the applausce when the prosecution acored a point; the dis approval when the defense won a I point; they saw the chief of Atlanta pplice and the colonel of the miltla | In conference with his honor the judge." Continuing the statement reads: "If those conditions which ' obtained constitute a legal judicial frial; if the ! issue of life and death conld be reas onably presumed to bo faithfully con sidered in such an atmosphere? then God help us all. * * C-nsldor the 12 jurors; they were cn trial too; their'very lives.hung In the balance.'* The statement relates briefly the ! acth'u-, of Frank on the day the raur dor was committed and the prisoner I then turns to a vigorous denunciation | of James Conley, ? negro, who was employed es a sweeper at. the pencil j factory, and who waa the prosecu-l tton'B principal witness. Conley now Is serving a year's sentence. as an ac- j ceasory after the fact to the. Pbagan I girl's murder. "It was not shown," the statement declares, "that. Jim| Cohiey, who had a iohg police record bad neither the motive to conceivo the crime nor the opportunity to com mit it * * Before you can take hla negro's word, he must show that ho j himself Is innocent," Frank closes his statement with re- j iteration of his declaration of his own ! innocence and with* further charges against the veracity of Cohiey.
