GEORGIA MOB ENTERED PRISON
LAST NIGHT, KILLED LEO FRANK

Atlanta, Ga Aug. 17.-(Special to The Press).-
Leo Frank taken from the state prison farm
Milledgeville by mob last night and lynched
Plans for the lynching had been carefully laid and
swiftly carried into execution. The prison guards
were overpowered and entrance gained into the
sockade where Frank confined. 1t is believed the
leaders of the mob possession of inside nforma
lion and that connected with the prison
agement assisted in laying the plans.
Frank convicted three years ago of the murder
of Mary Phagan in pencil factory in Atlanta He
sentenced to hang but fought the verdict of the jury
through all the Georgia courts, and later through the
United States supreme court. His appeals all taken
legal technicaties the chief being he was not in
court when the jury returned it's verdict The mob spirit
prevalent that the presiding judge advised that
Frank be kept in his cell when the jury reported.
Franks final appeal made to Gov. Slaton two
months ago for communication of his death sentence to
life term in the pentenary The governor who retired
from office on July l. granted the communication few
days before surrendering his office His act aroused
somed of protest and it became necessary to station
guards around the governors home to protect him from
mob violence Frank was spirited away to the state
farm near Mledgeville and three weeks later fellow
convict attempted to kill the noted prisoner by cutting
his throat with butcher knife Frank recovered from
this assault, only to meet death at the hands of mob
last night.
