CASE FOR THE COUNTY COURT

We are in receipt of a communication
from Postelle calling attention to the con-
dition Of Dr. ]. 7. Jones.
He is in extremely bad condition and
has had prominence in county affairs be-
fore his illness and it certainly seems that
he deserves more than he is getting.
Upon receipt of the communication we
took the matter up with Squire Amburn
who informed us that the county was now
allowing him 5000 month. He admitted
that it was not enough and said he favored
Increasing it to sufficient amount to in.
sure his being taken care of.
We hope the county court will take this
matter up al d upon learning the true con-
diton OF DR.. Jones will employ means to
relieve him.
The good people ofPostelle are doing all
they can for him, but it is not enough and
the burden should be more widely distrib-
uted

SENTENCE is COMMITTED.

Leo NJ. Franks death sentence COM
muted to life Imprisonment Monday, June
q, by Gov. Slaton. Announcement of the
governors decision came several hours
after Frank had been secretly taken from
the jail and hurried to the state prison
farm at Milledgeville. Frank was sentenced
to be hanged for the murder of Mary Pha-
gan in April, 1913.
Sheriff Mangum of Fulton county, who
with several deputies, accompanied Frank
to Milledgeville, had already announced
at that place early in the morning that the
sentence had been committed but the gov
ernor few hours earlier had refused to
confirm or deny Sheriff Mangum's state
ment.
All ask is that the people ofCeorgia
read my statement of the reason why

ment. Feeling as do about the case
