treated" while in their custody They
assert he was given exactly the same
consideration usually given to a con-
demned man on the day of his execu-
ton. The rough handling of the body
after it was cut down was a matter
concerning which members of the
committee" feel they were not re-
sponsible.
6. The members of the vigilance conf
mittee" felt they had sacred duty to
perform III carrying out the mandate of
the courts of the state and of the United
States" There was no mob spirit no
demonstration, and there Is said to have
been no idea of hanging Frank In the
public square at Marietta or in the ceme-
terry where Mary Phagan lies buried.
There was. however, a determination that
the execution" should take place in Cobb
county. Inasmuch as all the members of
the Committee" are said to be residents
of Cobb county the reason for this is OBJ
vious.
Used Seven Automobiles
Seven automobiles were required to
transport the vigilance committee" from
Marietta to Milledgevile. Only four re-
turned, including the car in which Frank
rode. All of the machines were small cars
of a popular make. These cars were spe-
cially selected because of the difficulty in
identifying them. No car of conspicuous
color or design was wanted. There were
probably 2S men in the lynching party.
The machines left Marietta single dur
ing the afternoon of Monday last, and it
was shortly after 10 O'Clock when the
prison farm was reached. After Warden
Smith and Superintendent Burke had been
called from their homes and handcuffed,
the party proceeded to the prison house
In which Frank was known to be quar-
tered. Frank was just recovering from
the wound inflicted on his throat by Will
liam Green, a fellow prisoner. and was
to have been returned to the regular Sleep
ing dormitory on Tuesday night. On the
night of his death, however he was still
living in the hospital room adjoining the
wardenS office.
When the lynching party had entered
the prison and it's members We're disarm-
ing the outer guards, one of the TRUSTEES

scarcely audible above the throb of the
racing engine.
For a long time following this the
only sound was that of the plunging
automobiles. Frank was again per-
nlitted the seclusion of his thoughts.
Then he was asked II he had killed
the Phagan girl. and the captors say
not repeated until near the journey s
end and again it is said there was no
reply.
The final Interrogation was:
us there nothing you wish to say"
NO"
Had Nothing to Say
These four questions were the sole
,Gonversation in the death car as it
sped along the miles which were
steadily bringing Frank nearer to
Cobb county and to his death. As day
light approached the speed OF the cars
was increased. 1t was a fully hour aft
er dawn that the four cars drew up
just below the ginhouse on the Will
liam Frey place and stopped at the
edge of an oak thicket.
The door of the leading car was
opened and Frank was told to step
out. He arose with the knowledge that
death was near at hand, but did not
falter. The big tree which so soon
was to be his scaffold doomed large
above the other oaks in the thicket
but Frank either did not see or at
tach any Importance to 1t at first. He
walked with firm steps between two
of his captors, his eyes upon the
ground. VI.
1T was while the silent procession
was progressing thus that suddenly
Frank spoke.
II love my wife and mother more
than l do my life"
The words We're uttered more to him
self than for any dramatic effect upon
his hearers. but evidently Frank had
been pondering that last question as
TO whether or not he had aught to say
and this was his answer.
A few moments later the moose had
been placed about the tender neck and
throat, handkerchief had been tied
loosely about his eyes, there was pull
tautening of hempen rope and
Franks life was fast ebbing away.
1t was half an hour after the "com-
mittee" had completed its execution
that the dangling body was found, still
