Special By U-tited Press WIS
Marietta, Ga, August 17.-Leo M.
Frank was lynched two miles outside
Marietta early today. Marietta was
the home town of Mary Phagan, the
little girl, an Atlanta jury found
Frank guilty OF numbering.
A mob dragged him from the hos
pital on the Milledgeville prison
farm just before midnight. Of all the
armed guards on the farm not one
raised hand to protect him.
By automobile the mob rushed
their prisoner to the spot where
they had chosen to kill him. OF his
last hours none but those who hang
ed him know anything. That he was
dead was not even known until his
body was found dangling from tree
short distance off the highway into
Marietta.
Wrenched by the ropes which
strangled him, the cash recently cut
In his throat by William Green, the
fellow convict, who tried to murder
him, had opened horribly. From the
wound blood gushed in torrents
staining his prison suit crimson. The
body was not touched by bullets.
Evidently the shots fired by the
lynchers were merely to scare eff
pursuit. The lynching scene was
more than 100 miles from he prison
farm The Marietta chief of police
said he had no clue to the lynchers.
He was doing his best, he said, to
find and arrest them.
The dead mans wrists were locked
with handouts fastened in front Of
his body and he was barefooted.
''No clues have been obtained of
the lynchers of Leo Frank. The
lynching occurred early this morn
ing. Every effort is being made to
apprehend them" the chief of police
of Marietta said at 9:35 O'Clock this
morning.
The police have been unable to
learn the identity of the lynehing
party from Prison Farm Superin-
tendent Burke. They have tried
several times to get him on the tele-
phone but have been unable TO locate
him.
The body was not finally cut down
until after speeches had been made
by a number of persons in the
crowd One address was by Mari
eta man said to have slapped Will
liam ]. Burns face when Burns was
! investigating the case. He urged
the body to be mutilated. Judge
| Morris spoke in opposition to this,
lurging that order be maintained.
! After the entire crowd voted
against mutilation the body was low
cred and lifted in a basket into a
wagon which started for Marietta,
when it was announced an inquest
would begin at noon. During the
progress mutterings in favor of mu-
tilation began to be heard and Judge
Morris ran his automobile alongside
the wagon, lifted the corpse into the
car and sped not toward Marietta
but In the direction of Atlanta.
About two hundred autos gave chase
At Smyrna, Rogers Winter,
newspaper man who accompanied
Judge Morris. leaped from the car
and rushed for a telephone to notify
his paper in Atlanta that the body
was coming and it was being pur-
lsued. There were several thousand

J. DU BREE HIGGINS SLASHED
IN FACE; ASSAILANT FLEES

Because he refused to rent a bath
improper bathing costume this morn
ing j. du Bree Higgins was slashed
with a razor at Mulberry Beach here
about O'Clock this afternoon. 1t
was evident to the police that his as
sailant aimed at his throat when he
cut an Il" shaped wound on the
left cheek Higgins was also cut
about the left side of the scalp. Dr..
G. W. Fithian took several stitches in
the wounds. The assailant, who is
declared to have used a razor, es-
capped.
An elderly man and woman, Ital-
ians, were apprehended and detain-
ed at police headquarters for an hour
after the cutting. Visibly unneryed
by his experience, Higgins erron-
eously picked out Court Interpreter
Lomb bardi as the razor wielder He
looked at the woman and man, who
were held and said he had not seen
the man, but had seen the woman
at the beach this morning. The man
and woman were subsequently re-
leased
The assailant was described as an
Italian, with a black moustache,
black curly hair and wearing a
slouch hat. He was reported to have
been chased by mob of about thir-
ty persons as far as the county
bridge, <here is was declared he es-
capped from his pursuers.
Higgins says that the trouble
arose over his refusal to rent a bath
house at the beach to an Italian
woman about $3.50 O'Clock this
morning. 1t is then averred by the
victim that another woman, presum-
ably the daughter of the first woman,
and a man believed TO have been the
iatter's husband, came to the beach
this afternoon. The man sprang upon
Higgins, whipped a razor from his
coat sleeve and with the exclamation,
'You will, eh, call my wife a bum?"
began to slash Higgins. The latter
says he did not utter such language
to anv woman

track laying will be pushed rapidly
SO that the road may be opened this
fall 1t will be operated under inter
urban conditions-that is to say, at
high speed.
The borough residents are over
joyed over the news that at last the
trolley is to run through the bor-
ough. For the past ten years rumors
would go through the town that in
the spring the trolley would come
and finally when the report again
spread no one seemed to take much
stock in it, But this time it really
is serious because yesterday there
were big force of men at work.
The people have reasons to feel
pleased, as this Is another step to-
ward the progress of the borough.
The time is fast approaching when
it will become city as the popula-
tion is around the nine thousand

pens, and with the new trolley run
ming through the borough and the
ferry across the sound, residents will
have the same comfort for travelling
that larger cities enjoy.

QUINN HAS HARD FIGHT 1T
STATE LABOR CONVENTION

With opposition lining up strongly
against him, Assemblyman Arthur
A. Quinn is likely to have a stern
battle for reelection as president of
the State Federation of Labor when
that organization meets at Grand
View hall, Jersey City, tomorrow
morning to conduct the balloting for
officers. Opposition to the Middle
sex assemblyman seems to have set
tied upon George Leary, one Of the
vice presidents of the Buffers &
Polishers Union, to take up the lists
with Mr.. Quinn.
There were large numbers In at
tendance at the morning and after
noon sessions of the convention yes
terday, and the fact that SO many
delegates were present shows that
there is something unusual astir.
George Leary, who has been Sc
lected to become Quinn's opponent
is a Newark man, and it is under
stood that the Essex county dele
gates have been instructed to back
him for the presidency. This may,
however, prove to be merely compli-
mentary votes for the first few bal
lots.
