THE SENTENCING OF FRANK
WAS NOT IN THE COURT HOUSE
MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES.
October 10th Was Fixed as Day of
Doom. ConIey to Plead Guilty to
Part He PLAYED After Murder.

Doom. ConIey to Plead Guilty to
Part He Played After Murder.
h ATLANTA Tuesday a sentence
of death was pronounced upon Leo
NJ. Frank, convicted of numbering
Mary Phagan. His execution was set
for October 10th.
Shortly before sentence was pro-
nounced attorneys for Frank moved
for a new trial on the ground that
several popular demonstrations, said
to have been heard by the jurymen,
had prejudiced the case. October 4
was set for argument on this motion.
His Step Falters.
Franks demeanor while he listen
ed to the reading Of his sentence was
as composed as it had been during
his long trial. Only when Judge
Roam reached the concluding words
did the young factory superintendent
show evidence of nervousness, and
his step faltered when he was taken
from the court room to be placed in
his cell.
In accordance with Georgia stat
utes Franks execution will take place
at the county jail here. Only county
officials, relatives of the prisoner and
newspaper men are permitted to wit
ness executions in this state.
Wife and Mother Not Present.
Neither Mrs. Leo Frank nor Mrs.
Rae Frank, mother of the convicted
man, both of whom had sat with him
in the court room throughout the
trial, was present when sentence was
pronounced Friends carried the
news to them at the Frank home
Newt Lee, negro nightwatchman
at the National Pencil factory, who
was arrested on suspicion on April
81, was released today. Lee was
taken in custody Immediately after
he reported to the police the finding
of the murdered girls body in the
factory basement. Together with
Frank he was bound over to the
grand jury after a coroner's inquest,
but no indictment was returned
against him.
COnley to Plead Guilty.
Jim Conley, confessed accessory in
concealing the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, will be indicted soon for his ad-
mitted offense, will plead guilty in
court and will be sentenced. The
maximum penalty is three years in
the state prison. The new grand
jury will organize Monday, and prob
ably will consider the bill against
the negro next week.
Frank Receives Sentence.
Looking Judge L. S. Roam squarely
in the eye just few seconds before
the death sentence was passed upon
him Leo Frank said:
your honor, say now, as I have
always said, am innocent. Further
than this my case is in the hands of
my counsel"
In a published card the attorneys
for Frank characterize his trial as a
farce and assert that the temper of
the public mind invaded the court
room.
Solicitor Dorsey, representing the
state, has no public comment to
make except that he feels sorry for
Franks wife and mother.

beyond all possibility of doing any

1t is said to be almost impossible
to kill the pest, and it is reported
that one which was frozen in a block

Large numbers of people took a

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace, and our sense Of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are

cries.
