The Frank LynchinS.
Times-P icayune.

Tho lynchinR or Leo FRANK Isl
blot upon tho name Ut a great
state. The victim WAS in the GUS
tody of tho law, his sentence to
death having been committed by
the late Governor, by virtue Of
authority conferred by tho consti-
tuition. The officers of the law
were, therefore, bound to protect
their prisoner by oil means, even
laying down their own lives, IN
case of need. A different view OF
law officers duty prssupposss
that law must yield to lawlsssness
Whenever q strong sentiment OK
lists against u prisoner. Needless
to say, nobody's life would DO safe
on this theory, since the average
mob docs not wait for tho courts
and the Governor to act.
And tho law officers were esps-
cially bound 10 use extra care with
Leo Frank, because a lynchinG
had been narrowly avertsd before
no was put within the psnitentia'
nv walls. So serious was thu
menace that the late Governor hsC
to order out troops to Safeguard
his own life, 40 we'll a. the pri
souer's. Why should the warder
and his subordinatss have taker
anything for granted, in such cir
cumstancss? Why did they no
remove Frank to some safer place
or take adequate measures to pro
tect him? These questions vii
! be answered by most people-out
side OF the state of Georgia, q
least by assuming the wsrdel
was complainant.
Be that as it may, the warde
must bear tho full responsibility
with an absolute lack OF prepare
ton aud defense implies. A pie
of impotence might avail, if tn
: mob had been big enough to max
. a fight futils;lbut this plea is dsl
troysd by the fact that the Lynch
, ere went to tho scene III four, G
!, five, automobiles - from which
J. follows that u few watchful an
e determined mon, under resolut
leadership. could have settled th
business In short order.
r Alas, the deed 10 done and th
entire state must pay the psnalt,
: Years will pass before the stain
wiped out, the mass of law-loviu
people suffering meanwhile II

feasance, or non-fsassnce, of IL

 ing Charges of Murder.

Juneau: Edward Krause, suspect ed of having been responsible for the disappearance of several persons, has been sentenced in Juneau to serve a year in Jail for impersonating an of lficer. The minor charge was prefer ed in order to prevent his securing freedom by any pretext while the au- thorities are searching for the bodies of William Christie and others whom Krause is suspected of having mur- |dered.
 Counsel for Krause entered pro- test, declaring that their client had been sent to jail without trial. The United States Commissioner and mar shal denied the charge, stating that the offense of impersonating an off, cer was misdemeanor and that no preliminary examination was neces- sary.
 When the Juneau authorities re- ceived the small typewriter from Se- attle which was found in Krause's possession by the detectives who ar rested him, the machine was found to be out of order. An expert repaired the machine, and it was easily appar- ent that the fake subpoena, the note sent Mrs. Christie and the Capt. Plunkett note sent to the customs house had been written on the ma chine
