Hurley.-Frank Terrell, % years

murder0usly beaten his own mother.
By way of explanation of his alleged
unnatural acts he told a story OF
cruelty and crime that has startled
this "little help of Wisconsin, accus-

said. I laid for him and shot at him
through a window. wanted to hit,

Black Joe Terrell was one of the
characters of Hurley in its most
wide open" wicked days. When he
was killed, Dec. rs, 1908, his son was
arrested, but because he was suppos-
ed to be mentally unsound he was
sent to the industrial school at Wau-
kesha and remained there until a year
ago when he came of age.

Atlanta. November 21.-Leo M Frank, under sentence of death for the murder or 14-year-old Mary Phagan, issued a statement here tonight in which he ex- pressed confidence that his vindication would ultimately be established. Whether will live to see my yintlica- ton, l cannot tell added Frank T am human enough to want to live to see 1t. for 1t is my right and due But I may not; l may suffer death.
 still one thing Is sure-the truth can not be executed. Vindication may be long in coming, but will come. With this Knowledge, death itself has little terror to me, for it is said, He who is inno- cent within is armed without ?
 The statement was prompted by the re- cent decision of the supreme court of Georgia declining to annul the verdict of guilty returned against the young factory superintendent. Attorneys for Frank now are attempting to obtain hearing before the supreme court of the United States. Frank again criticized the cond tions surrounding his trial asserting that there was Ian atmosphere rocking with preiu. dice and mob violence, where impartial | calm and Judicial consideration was i'm. possible
