Prisoner Shows No Emotion.
Probably no one ever gazed more
calmly az death than has Leo Frank.
Certainly no one ever received news

ferent. /, was close upon IL O'CLOCK
last night that Sheriff c. W. Mangum
whispered the news through the bars
Of his cell. Frank took the information
with an absolute absence Of emotion.
Frank did not know until few min
utes before he started on the ride 70
Milledgeville that he was 70 leave ms
cell last night. His heavy, distinctive
eyeglasses were removed, he wore
SLOUGH hat and the few persons at the
railway station did not recognize the
prisoner. His identity became known
when the train reached grimm ana al
Macon he was reported to be very hetr

Yet, despite his iron self-control' the
man Is drawn and hsggard. he is thin
and pallid; his movements are quicN

at work on clerical matters. Physicians
do not consider him capable OF the
labor Of a field hand, but when HIS
physical condition is improved he must
work shovel and hoe with his fellows.
II his conduct is good, at the end OF
month his stripes will be exchanged
for suit Of gray.

Governor Slaton Says Little.
Far less communicative than the man
whose life he saved was Governor
Slston to-day. Late this afternoon his
stenographer made public the lengthy
ANALYSIS of the case. Early TINS morn I

"All patriotic Georgians" have not /

roamed the city streets to-day, but
there was also an ample representation
Of pongee-clad and Panama-hatted citi-
zens. One of the foremost real estate
men in the city is now in jail for in

At Marietta, twenty miles away, the
former home of Mary Phagan, Gov
ernor Slaton was hanged in effgy. An
on the dummy read: John
Slaton. Georgia's traitor Governor"
Except for his early morning state
ment, no one has seen or heard from
the Governor to-day. IL is believed
that he is at his home, which has been
under guard all day. The sentiment
against him is strong in other parts
Of the state. Mobs in Macon have
marched the streets, believing his
name with Kisses and bookings. People
have called openly for his assassina-
ton.
A current rumor that he had gone TO
New York mas kept the mob here from
directing actual violence against him.
"He has gone 10 Broadway" they
have yelled again and again. "He has
gone TO shake hands with the rest OF
the damned Jews"
On the steps Of the Capitol this
afternoon he was fayed by the Rev.
William Sans, the minister in whose
church at Marietta Mary Phagan, the
murdered girl, worshipped.
"He is a Solomon. amt he?" the
preacher demanded. "He is q black
hearted Judas. I'd rather have Jim
Corley for Governor than him"
Only the prompt action of the police
early in the day forestalled much more
serious trouble than has yet developed.
A mob several hundred strong boarded
the suburban trolley at Marietta, with
the intention Of coming 70 Atlanta,
breaking into the Jail and freeing the
negro wife murderer.
"If Frank can get a Communication"
they averred, "the niger ought TO go
