have their car continue down into the

leading car. was in striking contrast
to the sombre hued men beside him.
The roads were bleak and lonely and
the farm houses which were passed
were dark. During all this long jour-
ney. only two syllables left Franks
lips.
Soon after he had been placed in
the automobile Frank was told he
was being taken to his place of exc
cution.
THE courts of Georgia have SEN
fenced you to be hanged and they
never reversed that sentence. 1t has
developed upon US to4,carry out their
decree"
Frank did not finch. The stoicism
with which he had met all the rever-
ses which followed his many legal at
tempts for liberty did not desert him
in the last hours of his life.
1t was we'll after the destination Of
his captors had been disclosed that
Frank was asked the question:
rs there anything you would like
to say before your execution"
At first there was no reply. Then
slowly, he shook his head.
NO"
Then Frank was asked if he had
killed the Phagan girl and the captors
said he made no reply. This question
was repeated near the journeys end
and he said there was no reply. The f.
nal interrogation was:
rs there nothing you wish to say"
NO
These four questions were the sole
conversation in the death car.
Reach Death Tree
It was a full hour after dawn when
the four cars drew up just below the
gin house on the William Frey place,
and stopped at the edge Of an oak
thicket
The door of the leading car was
opened and Frank was told to step out.
The big tree which so soon was to be
his scaffold, doomed large in the thick
ct, but Frank either did not see or at
tach any importance to it at first. He
walked with firm steps between two OF
his captors. his eyes upon the ground.
1t was while the silent procession
was progressing thus that suddenly
Frank spoke:
Il love my wife and mother more
than l do my life"
The words were uttered more to
himself than for any dramatic effect
upon his hearers. but evidently Frank
had been pondering that last question
and this was his answer.
few moments later the moose had
been placed, a handkerchief had been
tied loosely about the eyes, there was
pull. tightening of hempen rope
and Franks life was ebbing aay.
1t was half an hour after the conn
mittee" had completed it's work that
the dangling body was found still
