RAID GERMAN ARMS
DEPOT ON WEST SIDE
Police Find 100 Rifles and
100000 Rounds of Ammu.
milton i'm Building.

Morris J. Ahearn was arraigned in
the Jefferson Market police court yes
terday for storing explosives in a West
Houston Street building without q per-
nit. The explosives consisted of l.
100000 rounds OF rife ammunition. 1t
was asserted that 100 Springfield rifles.
which, with the ammunition, were said
to be intended for Germany, were also
stored there.
Neither Ahearn nor others brought
before the magistrate in connection
with the case would explain matters
further than TO say a permit had been
applied for. The case was adjourned
until Thursday, and Ahearn was pa
rolled.
Firemen Of Engine 30, at 223 West
Houston Street, reported the storage Of
the war supplies at the Macdougal
Street police station. V was said that
quantities of cartridges had been taken
TO Brooklyn pier, but that the crew
OF the ship upon which they were to
be loaded had refused 10 sail when
they learned the munitions were in.
tended for Germany.
The Fire Department has received
the application for a permit to store
explosives in the building. and il will
probably be granted.

Frank Fought for Life
Before Many Tribunals

Atlanta, June 1.-Two hearings were
held here on Franks application for
executive clemency, one before tie
State Prison Commission May 81, and
the other before the Governor. The
latter hearing extended through sew
eral days and ended June l6.
Before the Prison Commission oral
argument on Franks behalf was made
by his counsel and by jurists, lawyers
and prominent citizens of Georgia, Hi
nois and Massachusetts,. Petitions bear
ing hundreds of thousands Of names
from various state legislatures, socie-
ties and committees, and thousands Of
individual letters urging c!emency for
Frank, were presented to the commits
sion. In opposition to the application
there were filed letter from Solicitor
Dorsey, who prosecuted Frank, ard a
protest from citizens of Cobb County,
Ca, where Mary Phagan formerly
lived The commission recommended
against clemency by a vote of 2 to l.
Franks counsel, prior TO the Glenn
ency appeal, had made seven unsuc-
cessful attempts before the County Su-
perior and State Supreme Courts 20
obtain a new trial or to have the YER
dict set aside. The Federal District
Court refused to grant writ of habeas
corpus, and the United States Supreme
Court declined to grant a writ of error
for review of the case, and also denied
Franks appeal in habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. Four times the sentence Of
death was pronounced upon him for
the murder of Mary Phagan in April,
1918.

Frank did not complain Of the hard

Among the most enthusiastic over
Governor Slaton's ruling in this city
yesterday was Magistrate Samuel D.
Levy. He said: God bless Governor
Slaton. All praise is due him for the
manly act performed and for the great
service which he has rendered human
ity in committing the sentence OF Leo
NJ. Frank. Every other service which
Governor Slaton may render his state
and country may slip into the back
ground of time, but the honorable,
brave and honest policy which he has
pursued will remain known through
the ages and will serve az an example
Of what a fair-minded American citi-
zen when put to the test will do in
behalf of another man.

"Such acts bring us closer. together

From being practically unknown out

day looms up as a big, respler dent and

type. He is a credit to his state and
country.

if he had been Of any other creed or
denomination. If | felt that Becker
had not had a fair trial would have
been just as concerned about him. We
Americans stand for fair play and a
square deal, and Frank did not receive
them.
"Mr. Justice Hughes felt that there
was a reasonable doubt. He wrote
into his decision those broad, basic
American thoughts that made Governor
Slaton's decision possible. All glory
TO such distinguished men as Justices
Hughes and Holmes, Louis Marshall
and Governor Slaton. whose acts will
be forever imperishably impressed, ike

of America"
Fire Commissioner Robert Adams on,
himself a Georgian and a close friend
of Governor Slaton, yesterday lauded
the latter for his humanity and broad
mindedness in committing the sentence
Of Leo NJ. Frank.

Sons of Israel Begin
Fight to Free Frank
tBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune

Boston, June 2l.-Henry H. Leven-
son, grand master of the Sons Of Israel,
whose grand lodge is assembled in con-
vention at ~ Mount Vernon Street,
Boston, o-day said: Georgia has vim
dicated, through Governor Slaton, her
right to the respect of all American
citizens for American justice and fair
play.
"Ths Sons Of Israel, like many other
organizations, fought for this end be-
cause we believe Frank innocent. Con-
sequently the fight has only just be-
gun. We shall not rest until Frank is
proved innocent and the stigma to his
name removed.
"Of course, am delighted that COM
mutation has come, for while the moose
was around Franks neck the main OBJ
iect was to save his life. This has now
been done. We can now begin the fight
for justice"
Robert Silverman, grand secretary Of
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-06-22

the Sons of Israel, said: "The news Of
the communication of Franks death SEN
tence to life imprisonment is witness
to the fact that public opinion is the
controlling factor in American life.
when outside protests began to pour
in on Georgia there was local resent
ment with foreign interference with
Georgia justice, but without the over
whelming force of widespread public
opinion there is little doubt an awful
miscarriage Of justice was slated IN
Georgia to take place tomorrow.
Saved by a hairs breadth from
death, Leo N. Frank and his friends
will now begin the fight for vindica-
ton. Convicted by an unfair process,
he may yet overcome the prejudice OF
his neighbors.
at is with some pride that the Sons
of Israel notes it's achievement as one
of the sponsors of the communication
movement in this state.
"The gratitude of all lovers OF JUS
tice will go out to Governor Slaton OF
Georgia"
