she stood before the bars that pen

An hour later she emerged from
the jail, face set with determined
conviction.
"He is innocent" she declared.
HE must and will be cleared"
The opera star was in Atlanta for
the week OF performances the Met
ropolitan company gives here every
spring. For months she had stud
led the Frank case and wanted to
talk with the noted prisoner. Her
visit TO the jail was unheralded.
Even the turnkey didn't know that
he was admitting the most admired
OF all opera artists.
She was Joyously welcomed by
Frank, an ardent music lover, and
Mrs. Frank, who is constantly in
her husbands cell. They chatted
about music and travels and none OF
the topics one would expect dis
