Weeping Trees.


One of the wonders Of plant life IS
the weeping tree Of the Canary
islands. 1t is OF the laurel family, and
rains down a copious shower OF wa
ter drops from it's tufted foliage. This
water is often collected at the foot
of the tree and forms kind OF pond.
from which the inhabitants OF the
neighborhood can supply. themselves
with a beverage that is absolutely
fresh and pure.
The water comes out OF the tree
itself through innumerable little pores
situated at the margin of the leaves
It issues from the plant as vapor dur
ing the daytime, when the heat is sui
ficiently great to preserve it In that
condition; but in the evening, wher
the temperature has lowered very
much, considerable quantity OF 1t II
exuded in the form Of liquid drops
that collect near the edges OF thu
| leaves until these members so benz
| down that the tears tumble on OF
the ground below in a veritabl
shower.

sNATCHED FROM PRISON.
Frank Rushed by Mob in Automobiles
From Prison.

MiIledgev,lIe, Ga, Aug. IA we'll
organized party of armed men VINO
came in five automobiles attacked the
Georgia state penitentiary here last
night. took Leo NJ Frank, serving a
life term for the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, at Atlanta. from a dormitory and
escaped with him.
For hours after the attack no trace
of the automobiles bearing the party
could be found, but about daylight
newspaper men picked up the trail at
a point on Little river, near Eaton
ton Ga. J. K. Jackson, a white farm
err living near a bridge over Little
river. said that shortly after midnight
he heard several automobiles stop
there Soon afterward, he said, he
heard loud talking He heard the au-
tomobiles leave in the direction of
Eatonton.
The armed men arrived in the vi
cinity of the prison farm practically
unnoticed and proceeded methOdical-
lv to its business. All means of wire
communication from the Institution to
AIilledgeviI1e, three miles away, were
destroyed. and all wires, except one
telephone line, from Milledgeville also
were cut.
Five men went to the house of War
den J. T. Smith, awakened him and
made him prisoner. At the same time
a small squad of men went to the
home of J M Burke, superintendent
with them to the gate nearest the dor
mitory The two guards on duty there
were ordered to open the gate.
The party then rushed in, quickly
got Frank and hurried him to one of
the automobiles. He was forced down
into the car while a member of the
party is said to have flourlshed
rope in front of him.
Quick Pursuit Impossible.
Those who had been guarding War
den Smith left him and Joined the
party at the gates. The automobiles
then started off in a northerly direc-
ton. With only limited number OF
guards at the prison, and the wire
communication with Milledgeville in
terrupted. immediate pursuit was I'M
possible. The first reports of the
route taken came from newspaper
men. who left Macon at about the
sa me time officers started the pursuit
from Mill dgeville-
In the absence of definite news that
Frank had been lynched. many were
inclined 20 believe that possibly friends
took him away and that the display
of the rope and the shooting were
parts of a plan to cover the real in
tentfons of the party Frank was SUIT
ficiently recovered from the wound in
his throat inflicted by another pris-
oner a month ago, to leave the prison
hospital Sunday.
Mrs. Frank, VINO had been almost
constantly with her husband since
William Green attacked him, was in
formed of last nights developments
shortly after they occurred. She de-
clined to comment.

MOB IS DETERMINED.
Prison Officials Bound and Guards
Are Threatened.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. ia report re
ceiyed in Atlanta this morning was
that Leo Frank had been Iynched near
Marietta, Ga.
The mob arrived in the vicinity of
the prison farm practically unnOticed
and proceeded methodically to its
business. First all wires from the in
stitution to Milledgevi1le, three miles
telephone line from Milledgevil1e, also
were severed.
Mrs. Frank Is Silent
Frank had sufficiently recovered
from the wound in his throat, inflict-
ed by another prisoner a month ago.
to leave the prison hospital Sunday
and take his place in the sleeping
quarters with the other prisoners. Mrs.
Frank. who had been almost constant
ly with her husband since William
Green attacked him, was informed of
last nights developments shortly after
they occurred. She was reported to
have maintained her compoSure and
declined to comment.
Superintendent Is Bound
81 was called to the door just as l
was preparing to retire. said Captain
J. NJ. Burke, superintendent of the
state prison farm at Milledgeville
when reached the door three strong
men grabbed me and placed hand
cuffs my wrists. Four Others
heavily armed, stood guard over me
When 1 demonstrated they declared IL
was useless for me to Squirm as they
had come for Leo Frank and were go
ing to get him. l was marched up to
the penitentiary building by a guard
which was redoubled as we proceed
ed. When we reached the building, a
demand was made for the gate to be
opened. and when the trusty prisoner
awaited official orders, one of the men
began cutting the wires and Informed
the prisoner that he would be killed
as soon as an entrance was effected.
Guards Are Threatened.
THE gate was then unlocked and S.
Hester, a night guard, came forward
but he was Immediately covered and
ordered TO throw up his hands. Half
way up the steps I was halted while
half a dozen men rushed by me and
made a dash for Franks room. One
of the prisoners who witnessed this
Frank by his arms and legs, while a
fifth grabbed him by the hair and he
was dragged out and bumped down
the stone steps Frank never uttered
a word, but apparently he was suf-
fering intensely and groaned from
pain inflicted in handling him in his
wounded condition. The affair was
completed within five minutes, it
seemed to me.
1.-The whole procedure was we'll or
dered and methodical and only few
words were spoken. That evidently
was agreed upon. A leader did all the
masked. but I did not recognize any
of them. Just as they started off the
leader said: Now, boys, for the
swamp" Then in less time than It
takes to tell it, they were off over the
hill towards Meriwether.'

nearing will concern a compa rison of
the Botkin and Codding administra-
lions, Il is asserted.
Jumping suddenly from a COMPARE
son of the record of the two wardens,
Senator Mahin asked:
You have had lots of trouble with
prisoners, haven't you2'
No. sir" replied Jones.
Didn't you once kick man in the
ribs and nearly kill HIM %
No sir, 1 didn't
Didn't you put this in a mans
mouth, asked Mahin standing up and
displaying a large. ugly gag; and
the man and didn't he die in forty
minutes %
Jones Makes Denial.
Witness denied he had in any way
been party to placing the identical
gag in the mouth of Harry Thomas. a
convict. He said he had acted under
direction from the prison physician
during the Codding administration
and had applied a bit and a gar
ment, described as other than a
straight jacket.
Harry Thomas died in restraint"
admitted the witness. But ] never
put that gag down his throat. 1t was
a humane restraint and his arms were
bound in a comfortable position"
Comfortable enough to kill him ?''
persisted Mahin.
Thomas died in restraint, but that
wasn't the cause of his DEATH, in
sisted the witness.
The gag offered in evidence is an
exhibit in a case before the supreme
court in which Jones seeks court
order for the restoration of his job.
The gag was offered by counsel for
Warden Botkin after the warden had
asked Jones 20 resign, given him a
flattering letter of reference and, ac
cording 10 Botkin's statement, learned
that Jones was presumed to have
been implicated in the death of
Thomas.
Cross accumulation of Jones was
resumed this morning. Edwin Nc
Keever stated he would conduct re-
direct eXaminatiO
Following the taking of the teSti-
mony of a dozen witnesses in Tope
