PDF PAGE 7, COLUMN 4 BY MOON AND STARS, SAYS HE WILL FIND LYNCHERS OF FRANK Among the many missives of all sorts, Mayor Woodward has recently received, is one from U.G. Rison, who proclaims himself “the widely known Astronomer and Astrologer of Franklin County, Ohio, in which he offers to reveal by the moon and stars the Identities of the vigilantes who lynched Leo M. Frank.” Mr. Rison says he has performed many such feats before, and that if the Mayor will only supply him with the exact moment—not varying thirty seconds—that the noted Prisoner was slain, he will be able to disclose the Names and Home Addresses of each and every Member of the “Committee.” “There are many mistakes made in arresting one for a Crime, and an innocent man is quite often the sufferer of a Penalty that ought to have been imposed upon the guilty one. That is just why I am in the Business,” Mr. Rison explains. Mayor Woodward, considering that he would have to find the exact minute from one of the Lynching Party, is not concerning himself with the Astrologer’s Offer.
