The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1915-05-01

THE PRINCE OF WALES.
had refused it on the ground that the
princes military training had only just
begun.
For second time the 1.-the and slen-
der subatern stood before the great
field marshal. He had thrown himself
into his work with such enthusiasm
and patriotic fervOr that now, after only
twelve weeks, he was fit and ready for
active service. He had been so report
ed by his commanding officer.
Earl Kitchener listened to what the
young man had to say. The British
war lord Is stern and unbending, but
human. He knew the princes spirit
and talked with him as one soldier
with another, not from personal but
from national point Of view. 1t went
without saying that the prince was
eager to fight and would do his duty
just the same as any other officer, TAX
ing his chances of being killed or
wounded with the rest
That was not what was worrying
Kitchener. He would mourn if any
thing happened to the Prince of Wales,
but he knew that if the heir apparent
did get killed there were plenty of
other people to come to the throne of
England. What concerned Lord Kitch.
ener was this:
If the Prince Of Wales were taken
prisoner and held as a hostage by the
Germans very serious embarrassment
might be caused to the allies. and their
plans for the final settlement Of the
war would he gravely hampercd. This
Earl Kitchener pointed out in his usual
direct and forcible manner. but the
young prince was not to be denied,
and when he left the war office it was
with the promise that he would he at
tacheh to Field Marshal French's staff
ut the headquarters of the British ex-
Evolutionary force in France. On Nov.
Ii the Prince Of Wales crossed over
from FolkeStOne to BoulOgne and pro-
reeIed ut once to St. Omer, where the
headquarters staff was then located.
From that day till April 10. when the
Prince of Wales arrived in London
bearing dispatches from the British
commander in chief. he has regularly
duties Of Il dispatch rider.
The Prince Of Wales is slightly
built and very high strung youth who
looks two or three years, younger than
he really is. There is nothing in his
uniform to distinguish him from any
other staff officer.
Nearly four months elapsed from
the day the prince reported for duty
till Field Marshal French gave him
twenty-four hours leave. This was
early in March. and instead Of spend
ing his time in the big white house in
which he lives the prince ordered his
car and. leaving the noncommissioned
officer behind, took his brother officer
and was on his way to Paris as fast
as his car could carry him.
On his arrival he went to an old
fashioned hotel In the Rue de Rivoli,
facing the Tuileries gardens, and sent
word Of his presence to the British
embassy in the Faubourg st. Honore.
When the Right Hon. Sir Francis Ber-
tie. the ambassador, heard about it he
at once wired over to buckingham
palace, but the king and queen evi-
IDENTIFY decided not to interfere. So the
ambassador called upon the Prince OF
Wales and took him round to lunch
with President Poincare.

Mary Phagan, fourteen years of age,
was employed in the factory. She call
ed on holiday to collect her wages
and failing to reappear at her home,
search was instituted and at o'clock
the following morning her body was
found in a remote part of the plant,
showing evidence Of murder and as
sault.
Suspects were taken in by the police.
and then suspicion attached to Frank.
He was convicted mainly on the testi
mony of Jim Conley. negro. who said
he had helped Frank to dispose of the
body after the murder. Local senti-
ment was against the prisoner almost
from the start Remarkable stories Of
his alleged immortality were told.
The defense tried to fasten the crime
on Conley, the negro, who was an en-
ployee of the factory. A note which
purported to have been written by the
murdered girl just before her death
was link in the testimony. It was
found torn in scraps near her body and
purported to be addressed to her moth
er, In which she charged the crime ON
a negro without naming him.
The handwriting bore slight resem-
blance to Franks writing, but Conley
after first denying that he wrote the
note or that be was in the factory on
the day of the murder, finally con-
fessed that he wrote the note, but at
the direction of Frank.
Leo M. Frank is a native of Brook
Ign, a graduate of the Brooklyn high
bchcol, who won a scholarship in Cor
nell university and is also well edu-
Gated along technical lines. He has q
family in Atlanta and up to the time
Of the murder had a reputation general
~ in the community of being success
full business man of good moral reputa-
ton.
The courtroom was crowded in antici-
patton of decision in the Frank case
and many people stood in line outside
unable to gain admission. Since the
case has been before the supreme court
a nation wide agitation has been carried
on in favor Of the prisoner, and it wac
evident that his friends were many and
influential and that money was not be-
ing spared in an effort to influence pub
lie sentiment in favor Of the prisoner.

these he was paid at the rate of 8 and
