He answered: "Of wild beats that
OF the slanderer; of tame ones
that Of the flatterer." In the
third chapter of Genesis we have
the first recorded and authentic
account of a slanderer. Silently,
noiselessly he creeps along until
he Kisses temptation into the ear
OF Eve while slandering Almighty
God. Today the trail of SANDER
er is all over the world. The
greatest curse that ever yet be-
fell community was to have in it
a talebearer and a scandal mon
ger. They are a blot upon civil.
ization and a running sore in the
social life OF q nation. As Henry
Ward Beecher said, "The tale
bearer kindles a fire that burns
to the lowest hell" The sly hint
innuendo,, the question OF inquiry
which conveys a hint OF evil-how
Infamous all these may be! It is
hard to trace q slanderer, it is
hard to evaporate the truth by
the slow process OF the crucible
and leave the residum of false
hood visible and glittering. Or
ten one cannot fasten upon any
word or sentence and say, That
it is a calumny. God forgive the
wretch who, under the guise OF
secrecy, goes from man to man
with his story; his half-truth, his
innuendo, leaving in his wake We.

: Attorneys for Leo. NJ. Frank
have ,iled a petition with Gov
ernor Slaton and the Georgia
prison commission, asking that
the sentence OF death imposed
upon Frank for the murder Of
Mary Phagan be commuted to
lite Imprisonment. d
Among the grounds set forth
by Frank in his appeal for execu.
tive clemency are the allegations
thathe is innocent Of, the crime
and that the principal evidence
upon which he was convicted was
of ''a>qpestionable and unrelia.
bic character. y" His application
contains about $50 words and
he stated that it does not under
take to set out in full the reasons
forhis appeal, but he asks per-
mission to do so at the hearing
before the prison commission.
The attorneys presented with
the application copies of the brief
OF evidence introduced at Franks
trial, and requested the prison
commission to make a personal
inspection OF the pencil factory,
where the Phagan girl was mur-
dered, before beginning an exam.
ination Of the record.
Members of the prison commits
sion stated that a hearing on the
application would not be given
before the next regular monthly
meeting, which will be May 3,
and that it was not unlikely that
the hearing might then be defer.
red until the meeting beginning
the first Monday in June. Ac.
cording to the procedure in such
cases, the prison commission first
actsupon applications for execu.
