LEO FRANKS FIGHT
ENDS IN ONE DAY
Letter Written by Late Judge Roam
Brings Quick End to Hearing.
Decision by End of Week.

ATLANTA-The hearing on Leo
M. Franks application for commuta-
ton of sentence from death to life
Imprisonment, which began before the
state prison commission this morning
was completed late today. 1t is eX-
pected that the commissions recon-
mendatiOn to the governor will be
transmitted by the last of this week,
or within ten days at the latest. The
governor then will take final action in
the case. No one appeared to argue
in opposition to Franks application.
The principal features of today
proceedings were a letter written
few months before his death by
Judge L. S. Roam, who presided at
Franks trial, in which he sought
clemency for the prisoner and a state
ment by Mrs. Frank describing her
husbands actions on the night fol-
lowing Mary Phagan's death and de-
nying rumors Of an estrangement
between herself and Frank.
Judge Roan's letter was addressed
to the chief counsel for Frank in his
trial. 1t stated that at the proper
time he would ask the governor to
commute Franks sentence to life i'm
prisonment, that after many months
of deliberation he still was uncertain
of the prisoners guilt, and that 1T is
possible I showed undue Difference to
the opinion of the jury when l al
lowed their verdict to stand.
The production of Judge Roam S
letter, Franks counsel stated, obVi-
ated the necessity of extended argu-
ment and permitted of a quicker ter
mination of the hearing.

REGULARS DOWN FEDERALs.

The old-timers, or Federals, failed
to come back Thursday and they went
down in defeat to the score Of 1912.
Baby Wilder pitched for the Fed
erals, but the ''has beens" made too
many errors behind him for him to
win. He pitched excellent hall, but
it takes more than q pitcher to win
ball game. Any way, it served as
good practice for the regulars.

DUST FROM THE DIAMOND.
BY Ted.

Montezuma with Halves, Dumas,
Methvin, Brogden and few others
of that type tackle us for six games
beginning next Monday. They draw
better than any team that has ever
been in Dawson, and we look for
Baldwin Park to be packed with en-
thusiastic fans. At that time We can
compare the team of 1915 with
the one that made history for Dawson
in 1914. There is a keen, good
natured rivalry between Dawson and
Montezuma, and these games are sure
to be good ones. Besides, they will
give us a line on our team working
together.
The same old reliable bud Barnard
is to hold down second for Dawson.
We are glad, for he not only gets all
coming his way, but handles that OLD
willow.
Mr.. Harper, from G. M. c., played
in his first game against FIT. Gaines.
He is a good catcher, and has rifle
ball peg to second. He hit over 3OO
in college ball.

can ''bust the old agate.
John H. Crouch, our own product,
has signed a 1915 contract. We pre-
dict an even better year in left field
than he had in center last year.
Guess that the batteries for Mon
days game will be as follows:
Dawson-Wilder and Harper.
Montezuma-Methvin and Ellison.
Can the Baby" beat Montezuma?
Just watch him.
1t may be Baby" Wilder off the
field, but we say he is full grown
pitcher on the field. If you don't
believe it ask Mr.. Barfield, the pinch
hitter for Fitzgerald.
In the fourth and ninth innings

came UP.
cowboy jim" Caldwell was re-
sponsible for our two runs. He first
hits for three bags and scores on an

duced the single that scored the man

If Williams had a Hol QDday on

One man got to first. He died at

The writer believes that our team
this year is even better than last
year. He also believes that we are
to take four of the six from Monte
yuma next week. Watch US get their

BURNED AFTER DROWNING
Four of Crew Who Perished On Dredge
Found Cremated

New York, Feb. 4,--,Folowiug the
capsizing of the dredge Eastern, out
side Port Jefferson, l.. l., during the
northeast gale early Tuesday morning
and the drowning in their hunks of
Conrad Fosberg, John Hansen, William
Flynn and Henry Mccracken, members
of the crew of eleven men, it was dis
covered yesterday that their bodies had
been cremated in fire that consumed
the vessel.
All the valuables and clothing be-
longing to the crew were also consumed.
1t Is thought that the fire was caused
by the explosion Of the boiler on the
dredge after the craft had been topplcd
over by the gale.
The seven members of the crew who
were rescued by tug after they had
clung to pieces of timber for some hours
are recovering from the effects of their
exposure.
