Leo N. FRANK IS AGAIN
DENIED ANOTHER TRIAL
Further Action Will Be Taken
by Accused Slayer of At
lanta Girl.

Atlanta, May 6.-Denial of
the defense's plea for a new trial
for Leo M. Frank the factory
superintendent under sentence of
death for the murder of l4-year-
old Mary Phagan, was made here
today by Benjamin j. Hill, Judge
of superior court.
The courts action was taken
Immediately after the conclusion
of arguments of attorneys for
the defense, which followed the
completion of evidence introduced
by the defense ali1 the state.
Judge Hill indicated that he did
not care to hear arguments from
the states counsel.
No written opinion was made
by Judge Hill in delivering his
decision. He announced, how
ever, that he would grant a bill
of exceptions to the defense by
which the case might be taken to
the state supreme court and that
he would then prepare a written
opinion.
News of the latest reverse was
taken Immediately to Frank,
who is confined in the county
Jail awaiting final action in his
case, which has been in the courts
continuously for more than a
year. His wife was with him at
the time.
Today was the third time that
a new trial has been denied
Frank. A previous appeal for a
new trial was refused in both the
superior court and in the state
supreme court. Information was
then gathered for the extraord-
mary motion, which was denied
today.
Frank has twice been sentenc.
ed to hang, the execution in each
instance being stayed by motions
for a new trial.
He was convicted on the first
ballot of the jury on August rs.
1913. and sentenced to be hanged
on October 10. When final de
I nial of the first motion for new
trial was made by the state su-
preme court his execution again
was set for April II this year.
The body of the factory CIR
was found in the basement ol
the National Pencil Company
here on the morning of April II
1913. She had been struck Owe
the head and afterward stran
gled. Frank had charge of tn,
pencil factory.

From the time that we are

moment when we cease to be
mortal and become immortal, it
is mother who looks after our
physical and spiritual welfare.
In prosperity she rejoices; in ad-

of mother is remembered by the
wayward and the advice of moth
er will be at sometime needed.

us cheer mothers living, and by
deeds of charity and right living
let us show that mother dead has
put that into our lives whereby
we are better citizens, better
fathers, sisters. brothers and
neighbors."

WHITE HOUSE WEDDING
Ceremony Said in Simple Man

One Hundred People.

Washington. May z. Miss
Eleanor Randolph Wilson, young
est daughter of the President
and Mrs. Wilson. tonight became
the bride of William Gibbs Nc

in the historic blue room of the
White House.
Less than 100 persons-and
but few officials-heard the low
toned voice of the Rev. Sylvester
w. B ach. of the First Presby-
terian church of Princeton, N.
] where the Wilson family has
worshipped for years, as he unit
ed the two in marriage.
1t was a simple ceremony. For
the President and Mrs. Wilson it
was a touching moment as they
gave away a daughter for the
second time within a year.
Around them stood their rel.
atives and friends-a small
group-for it was a family af-
fair, much the same kind of
home wedding one would see in
any American household. though
the historic interior of the White
House with its masses of lilies
and ferns, the uniformed aides,
and the presence of members of
the cabinet and the vice pres
ident preserved for the function
an official aspect.
1t was in contrast, neverthe-
less. to the wedding of last No
vember. There were no uni
formed diplomats, no members
of the Senate or House, or the
supreme court. This was the
wish of the bride and groom,
carried out to the letter, and ex-
cept for an afternoon of gayety
among the young folks the day
and evening moved by quietly
and quickly. The ceremony
started at 6 o'clock sharp and
lasted but Is minutes. The re-
ception was brief, the wedding
supper was followed by a short
dance, and at 8 O'Clock the bride
and groom had left, all the we'd
ding guests had departed and the
White House resumed its normal
appearance interrupted but a
few hours.
