Fate of Leo NJ Frank Within the
Next Ten Days.

ATLANTA, Ca, June Hearing
of Leon NJ. Frank application for
Communication of his death sentence to
life Imprisonment was completed here
late yesterday before the state prison
commission.
The commission s recommendation
probably will be transmitted within the
next 10 days to the governor, who
will take final action. No opposition
was presented.
Principal features of the proceedings
today consisted of letter written a
few months before his death by Judge
L. $. Roam, who presided at Crank 3
trial, in which he sought clemeney for
the prisoner; and a statement by Mrs.
Frank describing her husbands az
tions on the night after Mary Pha-
gan s murder and denying rumors of an
estrangement between herself and
Frank
Judge Roam, in his letter, stated that
at the proper time he would ask the
governor to commute Frank s sentence,
that after many months of delibera-
ton he still was uncertain of the pris-
| oner IS guilt, and that cit is possible
| showed undue Difference to the opin-
ion of the jury when l allowed their
verdict to stand. -
Production of Judge Roan's letter
Frank s counsel stated, obviated the
necessity of extended argument.
Frank did not attend the proceed
ings; but his wife was present through
out.

ALARM CLOCK CAUSES TROUBLE

Mr.. Jacob KOening has lost faith
in his alarm clock. Ii caused him to
be mistaken for a burglar and came
very near being tardy at his work.
1t happened so. The alarm clock
took a sneak on Mr. Koening and
jumped ahead two hours, so instead
of calling its master at a NJ. it rang
its little ting-a-ling at 3 a. m. Mr..
Koening obeyed its never failing
command, he arose, dressed and
started off for a grocery store to get
some ham for lunch. While waiting
for the grocery man to open up"
Aug st. Clair of 1876 Opelousas ave-
nue., makes his appearance and
thinks he has made a discovery. Mr..
st. Clair notified the police and Pa
captured the man and he was taken
to the police station, where he was
charged with No. 1896, dangerous
and suspicious character.
During all this time Mrs. C. John
son, with whom Mr.. Koening was
boarding, became alarmed as he had
been gone over an hour to get some
ham only a block away. But the
telephone rang and Mr.. Koening re-
ported that he was under arrest.
