MOB IN AUTOMOBILES
LYNCH LEO NJ. FRANK
Home County of Mary Phagan
for Execution.

Marietta, Ca, Aug. 1S.-The body OF
Leo M. Frank was found hanging to a
tree two miles from here on the Ros-
well road at $3.50 Tuesday morning.
The mob which took him from the
Milledgeville prison farm at eleven
o'clock Monday night made good their
threat to hang him near the grave of
Mary Phagan, his fourteen-year-old
victim.
So quietly was the work of the
lynchers performed that people in Mar
ietta did not know that Frank had
been brought to their very doorstep
for more than two hours When the
news reached the Cobb county seat a
throng at once hurried to the mill.
The body was still hanging to the tree.
Identification was made positive by
the scar on the scarcely healed wound
inflicted on Frank BY his fellow pris-
oner. William Green. a few weeks ago
at the prison farm.
AS the mob leaders left the prison
officials bound and handcuffed, they
informed Superintendent ]. N. Burke
that Franks body would be found
near the grave of Mary Phagan.
Frank in his death ride was not
even clothed. He was sleeping in the
dollhouse when the lynchers arrived,
and when the throng from Marietta
arrived the hanging corpse was clad
only in a silken nightshirt with the
initials Il M F" embroidered over
the heart. His feet and legs were
bare.
Franks eyes we're bandaged. His
hands were cuffed behind him. A
crocus sack had been tied about his
hips. His feet were dangling about
four feet above the ground. An oak
tree was the gallows.

WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT
REFUSES TEUT0N REQUEST
Munitions Sale Of Warning Nations
Defended in Answer to Aus
TRAN Note.

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE reply OF
the United States to the note of Aus
tria-Hungary. refusing to stop the ex-
portation of arms and munitions to
the enemies OF that nation as request
ed in representations June %, was
made public here on Sunday
Among the reasons for its refusal
the United States gave the following:
To refuse the sale of implements OF
war to belligerents would force mill
tarism on the world and work against
universal peace-which is the desire
and purpose OF all nations which exalt
justice and righteousness with one
another.
The principle Of equalization urged
by Austria-Hungary should apply to
belligerents superior on land as well
as sea, thus imposing on neutral ma
tons a duty to sit in Judgment on the
progress of a war.
During the Boer war, the Crimean
war and the Balkan war arms and am
munition were sold to belligerents by
both Germany and Austria Hungary.
The policy Of the United States has
been to permit the sale Of war sup
plies to belligerents so that this ma
ton. which in times Of peace main
tains no large military establishment,
may have access to markets Of other
nations for the purchase of war equip
ment when attacked by a foreign
power.
