ing from his throat"
Commission Will Probe.

Atlanta, July 19.-The penitentiary
committee of the Georgia house Of rep
resentatives late today voted to table
three resolutions whicl would have
provided for legislative investigation
of the attack made on Leo NJ. Frank
at the State prison farm, at Milledge-
vile Two resolutions calling for an
investigation were introduced early
today, and later Representative Camp
bell of Newton introduced a resolution
providing that five members of the
lower house personally investigate the
matter. Members of the committee
said they believed that William Green,
the convict who attacked Frank, was
alone involved and that there was no
neglect on the party of prison officials.
The State prison commission, how
ever, will visit the prison farm Satur-
day to investigate the attack on Frank
according to an announcement tonight
by R. E. Dawson, chairman of the
board. He said the inquiry would try
to establish if others than Green were
involved, how Green got the knife he
used and if he had permission from a
guard to leave mis- bed when the attack
was made late Saturday night.

watched, too. Green got up and went
toward Franks bunk with what looked
like a folded newspaper in one hand.
Green looked down into Franks face
to make sure it was Frank. Then he
showed his knee we'll up on Franks
chest and with one hand showed his
head back, stretching his neck, while
tie other hand with the butcher knife
in it came across mis- throat with a
quick, jerky sweep,

Franks Condition Is Still Critical.

Miledgeville, Ca, July 19.-The con-
dition of Leo NJ. Frank, suffering from
a serious knife wound in the throat
inflicted by William Green, a fellow
life Germ convict at the Georgia prison
farm '-ere, remained critical tonight.
DR.. G. D. Compton, the prison physi-
clan, announced, however, that he was
hopeful of Franks recovery. Possible
blood poisoning from infection Is one
of the chief dangers, he said.
Franks temperature late today was
announced at 1O1.S, mis- circulation as
100 and his respiration at 20. Early
today his temperature was 1924 and
tie attending physicians were gratifled
at the decline.
Green, questioned further by prison
officials today, said he believed that
he had been called from on high to
kill Frank, whose death sentence for
Mary Phagan's murder recently was
commuted by Governor slaton, now re-
tired. He indicated no remorse, as he
ltad done imediately after the attack
Saturday night.
Thinks He Did His Duty.
81 only wish that 1 had had more
strength" Green said. 81 think that
ave done my duty in this matter as
we'll as my strength allowed. l believe
that God has helped me. I don't think
ever did wrong in my life"
Green, although he weighs 165
pounds, is partly paralyzed in his left
arm. Physicians attending Frank be-
lieve that t-is fact probably saved mis-
life, as Green was unable to seize him
while he used the knife.
Warden Smith said today that Green
had spent much time recently reading
the Bible. Other prison attaches said
t at Green recently had shown ten
dency to discuss religion.
Should Frank die Green probably
would be tried for murder. No decis-
ion has been reached as to what ae-
ton will be taken if Frank RECEIVERS.
Late tonight it was announced that
Franks temperature had dropped to
100 and tnat his general condition was
good
