STUART DEPLORES OUTRAGE
Says Lynching of Frank Was High
Handed Violation of Law

Boston, Mass, Aug 1s-Gover-
nor Stuart, of Virginia yesterday Vi
gorously deplored the lynching Of
!; Leo NJ. Frank. The Governor said:
81 deplore with all my soul such
performances as this high-handed
violation Of the law in the case OF
: Frank.
Il cannot condemn such outbreak
; with sufficient force to express my
-, intense feelings against such a pro-
!cedure. | do not, however, think that
this new turn of affairs had anything
: to do with race prejudice against the
Jews in the South. No person any
Ilonger regards nationelities in the
South. Not once in the trial Of Frank
do I believe prejudice entered. Judge
! and jury acted without regard
ito the nationality of the man on trial
for his life. The better element
throughout the entire South has the
highest respect for law and order
! and would not under any circum-
stances endorse the lynching which
has taken place. In my own State
of Virginia no lynching has occur
red for more than fifteen years. Lyn-
ching in the whole South has un-
dergone rapid diminution in the past
few years.
''Fhis trial of Frank, with the SUBJ.
sequent outrages, cannot be attri-
buted to any antipathy against him
as a Jew, but springs from the feel:
i ing of resentment among all South.

womsnhood.
