prison at 4:3O o'clock this morning
When 1t become known in Atlanta
crowds began to gather on downtown
street corners. Within three hours
their demonstrations had resulted in
calling out two thirds OF the police
force and an order followed closing
all near beer saloons and clubs where
liquor could be obtained.
About noon a crowd estimated at
25OO gathered on the capitol grounds
and listened to several speakers
Most Of this throng later took charge
OF the hall of the house of represen.
tatives, where several speakers said
they doubted Frank had been remov.
ed from Atlanta.
A committee OF FIVE was selected to
visit the jail They reported that
Frank was not there. Then Sheriff
Mangum, who with deputies took the
prisoner to Milledgeville. assured the
crowd he had delivered Frank at the
prison. The throng, which packed
the floor and galleries then marched
to Five Points, in the center of the
business section and later went to
city hall. As this had been the scene
OF a demonstration early in the day,
the police took stern measures. Soon
the list Of prisoners had increased to
ten, all charged with failure to move
on.
Mounted officers rode in circles in
the crowd and the demonstrators grad
ually dispersed. Early tonight the
throngs on the street appeared quiet.
At Marietta, twenty niles away the

were evidence that the elevator had

tence in his $4,000 word statement
He said his decision "may mean that
! must I've in obscurity the rest of
my days, but. / would rather be plow
ing in a field than to feel for the rest
of my life that | had that mans blood
on my hands"
Frank did not know until a few mi,
nutes before he started on the ride
to Milledgeville that he was to leave
his cell last night. His heavy, dis
tinctive eyeglasses were removed, he
wore SLOUGH hat and the few per.
sons at the railway station did not
recognize the famous prisoner. How.
ever, his identity became known when
the train reached Griffin and at Macon
he was reported to be very nervous,
needing the support of Sheriff Man
gum when he was transferred from
the railway coach to an automobile.
At the prison today, nevertheless,
Frank had gained the outward calm
that had marked his two year fight
for life. He again protested his in.
nocence expressed gratitude to Gov
ernor Slaton and said that he had in
tuitively believed he would at least
get communication Of sentence.
Solicitor Dorsey who prosecuted
Frank, issued statement tonight in
which he declared the action of Gov
ernor Slaton multiplying the judgment
OF the state and federal courts and
over riding the recommendations of
the state board of pardons was I'M
precedented.
He added that no defendant in hi
recollection had had the benefit of
more appeals to both the state and
federal courts.
Il cannot find in the record of the
Frank case or in the governors leng.
thy statement Of attempted justiRca-
ton one reason why the governor
should interfere with the judgments
OF the courts in the case" said the
solicitor.
The first official announcement of
the governors decision was made at
S:42 a. m. Extra editions OF the To-
cal newspapers containing the unof.
fcial announcement caused excited
crowds to form. Mounted police and !
patrolmen made at least one arrest.
Comment disappearing the decision
was heard in the gatherings.
Must Enforce Laws
In his statement exhaustively ex-
his reasons for committing
Franks sentence, Governor Slaton re-
viewed the circumstances surround
ng the murder of Mary Phagan in
he National pencil factory here on
April 20, 1918, the conviction of
Frank and his appeals for clemency,
the statement reads:

Atlanta, Ca, June 21.-With sever.
al hundred men and boys clamoring
to get into the front gates of his
country home on Peachtree road, that
had been barricaded with barbed wire
entanglements, and threatening to
overpower twenty country policemen
armed with riot guns, Governor Sla.

for protection.
Upon the arrival of four companies
Of state guardsmen which had been
held under arms and rushed to the
estate in automobiles, the governor
proclaimed martial law in district
extending half mile in front of his
home, half a mile back, and for a dis
lance of about quarter of q mile on
either side.
When the soldiers lined up with
fixed bayonets to dispense the crowd,
stones, bricks and bottles were then
thrown at them. The commanding
officer, Major Catron, was struck BY
stone as were several other ofIic-
ers and privates.
The governor proclaimed martial
law at exactly IL o'clock and by md.
night the crowd had virtually been
dispersed. There was no firing.
Trouble eFared at MiIledgeville
A telephone message from Milledge
vile, where the state prison farm is
located and where Leo NJ. Frank
was taken today after Governor Sla-
ton had commuted his death sentence
to life Imprisonment, said that trou-
BILE was feared there tonight and ask.
ed that the governor order out the
Milledgeville company Of militia.
The governor told his informant
that such a request would have to
come from the sheriff of Baldwin
county. At midnight the sheriff had
not requested troops.
The governor was surrounded at
his home by about a dozen friends,

In front Of the governors house
were more than 100 automobiles filled
with persons evidently there to see
what the crowd would do. The troops
had great difficulty in clearing the

their riders were met with the retort
