With the known anlmosity that existed against Frank among Q cer- tain element Of the people of Geor- gia, and the repeated threats that had been made against his life since his communication, it hardly seems that such a reyolting deed as tGat pulled off last night could have been possible except through the couniyauce Of the officers who were sworn to protect the iu-tated prisoner.
