2. Frank said, "aSzaton has acted the

Why did he accuse our noble ex-gover-
nor?
Was it because Slaton had promised to
pardon Frank, and rush him out of the
State in that steel car, which the yardmast-
er at Macon said did not belong to the Cen
trail Railroad?
Had the rich Jews provided the car to
take Frank to New York?
The yardmaster declared that the steel
Pullman was attached to local train, and
when he asked an explanation the reply was
vague and evasive!
DID SLATON BEI'RAY THE JEWS,
ALSO?
3. Frank baked at direct confession,
when asked about the crime, and merely
said:
'The negro told the story"
After this he added the sentence about his
wife and mother-a sentence which cannot
be otherwise construed, than that he would
rather die silent than shame his people by

Preachers, editors, lawyers, doctors, mer-

men, pleaded with Slaton, last gear, to spare
the life of poor Bart Cantrell, the 17-year-
old Georgia boy, achO had never had any

tie man he killed had aOr0nged his sister.
Slaton not only sent this boy to the scat
