Governor-elect Nat E. Harris, of
Georgia, announces that if it should
fall to his lot to render the final de-
cision in the case of Leo Nj. Frank, ne
will deal with the matter from a

after going through hundreds Of
letters written to him by persons
outside of Georgia asking either par
don or combinations:
"You can just say for Nat Harris
that if the matter of dealing executive
clemency to the condemned man is to
be considered by him, the entire OUT

Georgia matter, and if l am to con-
slider the case I shall consider it alto
gether from Georgia basis, with the
interests Of Georgia and the interests
of Georgia persons at heart"
