closeted with Governor Nat Harris,
telling him the story of his attack upon
Frank and his motives for the act,
he made just one request of the Gov

clemency in any form.
1t was that the Governor see that
an x-ray examination Is made OF
Green's side to find whether rib
which ne had broken once Is not still
out of place. Governor Harris prom
Used Green that he would do this. and
the Governor stated that he will take
the matter up with the prison COM

A rather startling revelation made
by Governor Harris was that he was
warned while at the State farm not
to talk with Green alone while Green
had his chain on.
