This unanimous sentiment was ex-
pressed in the hearty resolution OF
thanks that we brought in by the
resolution committee at the close OF

Burns Says Frank 10 innocent.
The Atlanta, Ga, police couldn't
catch smallpox in a pest house" de-
clared William J. Burns, of the Burns
National Detective Agency. today to
Democrat representative in paying
his compliments to the prosecutors,
not prosecutors of Leo j. Frank, con-
demned murderer of Mary Phagan.
and whose death sentence has been
committed to life imprisonment by
Governor Slaton Of Georgia.
Frank is as innocent as / am, but
the Atlanta police are so determined
to fix the crime upon some one, after
the many murders that have gone
unpublished, that they are satisfied to
condemn an innocent man. They Sc
leeted Frank as their victim, because
he was the last person known to have
seen the girl alive, and they knew he
was Jew, and that on this account
racial prejudice would assist them,
declared Mr.. Burns,
Speaking further the famous sleuth
said: In Georgia they treated me
just as they did the governor. They
are so prejudiced against Frank that
they do not want TO be told the truth.
They do not want facts or evidence
that would in any way reflect in favor
of Frank. All they demand is his life,
regardless of his guilt or innocence.
''of all the police and detectives /
have seen in my life, / must say those
engaged on the Frank case We're the
worst and most unscrupulous. They
cared not for RICH, or justice. The
whole case against Frank Is frame
up on their part. Governor Slaton is
undoubtedly of this opinion and dis
played the courage of his convictions
in committing the death sentence.
The whole country has been flood
ed with base reports Of Franks inn
morality. / offered a reward Of 5000
and the reward still stands 10 any per-
son who would prove the slightest
charge of immortality against Frank.
No ore has claimed the reward or
even attempted 10 recover it.
Mary Phagan was murdered by no
other than James Connolly. the negro,

on the assertion that Franks !nno-
cence will ye, be proven"
