Atlanta, Ga. June 22-With several
hundred men and boys clamoring to
get into the front gates of his coun-
try home on Peachtree road, which
had been barricaded with barbed wire
entanglements, and threatening to
overpower twenty country policemen
armed with riot guns, Governor Slaton
called out the militia last night for
protection.
Upon the arrival Of four companies
Of state guardsmen, which had been
held under arms and rushed to the es-
tate in automobiles, the governor pro-
claimed martial law in district ex-
tending half q mile in front OF his
home. half a mile back, and for . dis

A telephone message from Milledge-

located and where Leo Frank was
taken after Gov Slaton had commut-

there, and asked that the governor or

The governor told his informant
that such request would have to
come from the sheriff Of Baldwin

not requested troops.
The governor went fully into details
of why he committed the sentence in
his 15.000-word statement. He said
his decision may mean that I must
live in obscurity the rest of my days,
but would rather be blowing In a
