\
Juggling with Justice.
Having applied to the supreme
court of the United States and having
been turned down two or more
times by the Justices of that court
on the ground that this court had
no jurisdiction of his case for the
lack of a Federal question, Leo M
Frank has now been granted an ap- j
peal and review of his whole case 1
by this supreme tribunal on the
ground that a Federal question has ?
been presented as determined by .
Justice Lamar,the same Justice who
formerly decided that the case pre- <
sented no Federal question. 1
Any one who attempted to follow
and reconcile the intricacies, contra- 1
dictions and complexities of the legal
machinery of these United States 1
and of the several and respective 1
Commonwealths of which the nation
is composed would very quickly be 1
qualified for the bughouse.
It is the theory of the law that
the certainty of its judgments is essential
to its utility, whereas in the
practice and administration of it, ,
uncertainty is the only certain ele- ,
ment that can be predicated of it. \
Every Judge seems to have an individual
theory and sometimes one 1
Judge has two or more theories that
contradict and neutralize each other.
Look at this record in the Frank
case:
April 27, 1913?Body of Mary j
Phagan,fourteen years old, found in
cellar of National Pencil factory at 1
Atlanta, Ga. Had been murdered
the night before.
April 29?Leo M Frank, superin- |
tendent of factory, and James Conley,
a negro sweeper, arrested.
May 24?On evidence of Conley,
Frank was indicted for murder. ,
July 28?Trial of Frank began. <
August 24?Conley testified that
Frank entrapped the girl in his of- |
ice, beat her unconscious, then
strangled her.
