uN INE BLUFF O ROERESS
 ROSPERITY
FRANK SHOULD NOT HANG.

Leo M Drank should not be hanged on June 22 for the murder Of Mary Phagan.
 The best reason that can be of ford q in support of this contention is an extract from letter of the jurisl who pres'l led at the trial of Frank. The letter, written months after the trial. states:
 sIt is possible that I showed undue defsrence to the opinion of the jury in the case when l allowed their yer dict to stand. They said by their v2rdict that they had found the truth.
 was still in state of uncertainty, and so expressed myself. My search for the truth though diligent and earnest, had not been So successful h the exercise of judicial discretion, restricted and limited, according to my interpretation of the decisions Of the reviewing court, l allowed the iury's verdict to remain undlsturbsd I had no way of knowing it was or roneous.
 After many months of continued q liberation, 1 am still uncertain of Frank's guilt. This state Of uncer- ta nty is largely due to the character of the negro Conley's testimony, by which the verdict was evidently Teachcd.
 "Therefore, l consider this is a case in which the chief magistrate Of the stata should exert every effort il ascertaining the truth. The eX- ecution of any person whose guilt had not been sufficiently proven to the constituted authorities is too horrible to contemplate. I don't be- leye that a person should meet with the extreme penalty e the law until the court, jury and governor all shall have been satisfied of that per sons guilt Hence, at the proper time, I shall express and enlarge upon these views directly to the governor and the prison commission.
 ''However. if for any cause I am p9sventgd q from doing this, you are st liberty to use this letter at the hearing."
 Judge Roan, presiding judge at the trial of Frank indited the above to Franks attorneys in December, 1914. The, jurist died March 23. 1915.
 A jurist, by training, experience and temperamC nt, is better fitted to judge the good and bad evidence in 8 case than is a jury.
 If, after months of oonsfd ration, Judge. .Roan was still in doubt as to the guilt of Leo M, Frank, who IS qualified to assert Franks guilt?
