The Warden Was Ready
There was a great deal of doubt
in the minds of many as to whether
Warden Simms would hang the men
if every obstacle had been removed.
His refusal to execute Nilalobos on
former occasion was cited and
many were free in their expressions
that no matter what the decision OF
the board, the men would not be
asked to mount the stairs down
which they would never walk again.
But in justice to Warden Simms
ite may be said that there is little
doubt in the minds of the repre-
sentative of The Republican that had
the board held to its action the men
would now be dead for every thing

mediate friends and relatives had
taken their farewell leaves, the guards
had placed the ropes, the graves
were dug and the caskets were in
readiness when the action of the
board stopped the execution.
Warden Simms is not a coward.
He is opposed to the idea of capital
punishment and has welcomed in no
weak terms the relief from the neces-
sity of sending the men to their doom,
but had the board so decreed Simms
would have ordered the men selected
to spring the trap. True he would
have done so with many regrets for

is honest in his belief so honest that

The Saving Note
The note reads:
The board of pardons and paroles
recommends reprieve not to exceed
nine weeks; also recommends a segrc-
cation of the executions. if the gov
ernOr deems it best to fix different
dates. the governor to fix such date or
dates himself. within the nine weeks

again slipping silently open to send
forth to their evening meal the men
who have been sitting in the narrow
little steel cages turning over in their
minds the fate of the fellow convicts
who they think have been sent to an
other world
For they have no word of the action
of the board. And then who knows
what another nine weeks will bring for
that is the time the new reprieve SAYS
the men will be given to again prepare
for the ordeals.
Why it Was Done
The following is the resolution
adopted by the board:
Whereas. we have before us Il
Geographic request from Hon. William

Ii to be his duty to urge upon the

under sentence of death to be this
day executed. and
Whereas. said request informs US
it is made in view of a possible eff

largely without information. therefore
BE it resolved that considering the
urgent request so made upon the
board by the honorable secretary OF
state. and the gravity of the matter
so presented to us by his request
and ont OF consideration of the pro-
per respect due to his high and re-
sponsible office we do hereby recon-

others, knowing all the while that
Jim Conley was in the building all
the while, and never intimating for
once, that Conley might have been
the criminal. You do not know any
thing about the evidence, and you
have no right to pass your opinion
as to whether Leo Frank had justice
or not. The links of evidence, in
the chain which convicted Frank,
were such as you know nothing
about, and your sickly sentimental
appeal for justly convicted criminal
will only have the effect of making
the people more determined that
justice shall not miscarry.

know that there are some preachers
