Trieste, where he was recognized and
sliced. The tunnel through which he
escaped was about II yards long, and
was dug almost under the eyes of the
guards. from a room to a point outside
the wall.

AMERICAN CONSUL
SAVES CHRISTIANS
PREVENTS MASSACRE WHEN THE
TURKS PiLLAGED PERSIAN
VILLAGE.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Gilman, AZerbaiijan, Persia, May 2S.
Unlike the Belgians, the decimated
Christians of Azerbaiian and Armenia
fought of their own vOlition. For a
hundred years they have longed for
the coming of the Russians. Volun-
teers were organized by the Armeni-
ans boldly, by the HISTORIANS under
some pressure. The latter supplied
$50 drilled men at their own cost and,
if they may be believed, rendered
good service. Three thousand rifles
were issued to villagers from Russian
arsenals and thousands were employed
in fortifying Urmia.
At Tabriz there was no massacre
and little pillage, thanks to the energy
and diplomatic skill of Gordon Pad
dock, the American Consul, and the
flight of the TabriZ Christians on the
Chausse was comparatively unevent-
full Mr.. Paddock delayed the entry
of the Kurds practically restrained
the Persian government from flight
and was then able to hold the local
Moslems in check. Finally he went to
the bazaar, where there are upwards
of 5000 shops, and stopped the pill
lage Gen. Chernozuboff and all the
foreign colony at Tabriz unanimously
agreed that Mr.. Paddock's services
were invaluable.
The Kurds and Turks at Tabriz fol
lowed the Russians, whose retreat
was stopped after the victory at
Sarykampsh had halted the adavnce
on Kars. Gen. Chernozuboff drove
them with machine gun from a
canon, eight miles long, which forms
| the pass between Julia and Tabriz, al
I, the same time sending Gen Ofrosimofi
around the mountain sto fall upon the
| Turkish flank. This combined attack
skilfully planned and executed, an

Salinas were directed by Turkish off

diers and local moslems. In addition
to unanimous local testimony, the in
sulting phrases written in correc
French on tht walls of the desolate'
Roman Catholic mission at Hasrova
are conclusive.

to have been strangled by a Jew
says a letter written to the governor
of Georgia, by the Rev. Alfred X.
Glover, rector of st. James Episcopal
church here, and made public today
The letter urges that Leo M. Frank
probably is innocent of the murder OF
Mary Phagan.
"The Jewish law and custom that
compels under pain of sin the draw
ing of life blood of all animals to be
slaughtered has also unconsciously
applied from the time of Moses to the
present to the criminal act of Jewish
murderers as a kind of second ma
ture," the letter asserts.
The writer is said to be a recogniz-
ed authority on laws and customs of
the Jews.

SAYS FRANK DIDN'T
DICTATE THE NOTES
HANDWRITING EXPERT ASSERTS
AUTHOR WAS WITHOUT IN
TELLIGENT ASSISTANCE.

Atlanta, Ga, May 2-.-The belief
that Leo NJ. Frank had nothing to dc
with the murder notes" which play
ed such an important part in the ia
nous trial, is expressed in a report
submitted today to Gov. Slaton and
the Georgia prison commission by Al
bert S. Osborn, a handwriting expert
of New York.
Mr.. Osborn, in his report, declares
it his firm conviction that James Con-
ley, the negro who testified that he
wrote the notes at Franks dictation,
did not have Intelligent assistance"
in preparing the documents. Conley,
who was chief witness against Frank,
now is serving a sentence of one year
as accessory to the murder of Mary
Phagan, beside whose body the "mur-
der notes" were found.
In his report Mr. Osborn says:
1t seems to me that when the IL
legibility, incoherence, reputation
and uncertain effect of the commui-
cations are considered it is perfectly
clear that James Conley did not have
intelligent assistance in writing
them"
1t was announced today that friends
of Frank in Savannah will send del
egation to Atlanta Mondoy, headed by
Judge S. B. Adams, former justice of
the state supreme court, to present to
the commission a petition for commu-
tation of Franks sentence to life i'm
prisonment.
