Jur.v—MrSi Frank Tells Story
Of Husband’s LifCi
-\tlantaj Ga,, May 31.—The heating
of Leo M. Frank’s application-far coni-
muntation of sentence frojii de:ith n
life imprisonment, which began befove
the state prison commission was com
pleted late today. It is exjwcted that
the commission’s recommendation to
the governor wili be transmitted I'V
the last of this week, or within 10
days at the latest, and the governor
then will take final action in the case.
No one appeared to argue in opposi
tion to Frank's application.
The piincipaU'eatures of today's pio-
ceeding's wer^ a letter written a few
months before his death by Judge 1-
S. Roan, who presided at Frank's
trial, in which he sought clemency for
the prisoner, and a statement by Mrs.
Frank describing her husband’.s ac
tions on the night following Mary
Phagau’s murder, and denying rumors
of estrangement betvfeen herself and
Frank.
Judge Roan’s letter was addressed
to the chief counsel for Frank hi his
trial. It is stated that at t!ie proper
time he would ask tht Governor tJ
commute Frank’s sentence to life im
prisonment; that after many months
of deliberation he still was urtcertain
of the prisoner’s guilt, and* that "it
is possible I showed undue deference
to the opinion of the jury when I al
lowed their verdict to stand."
The production of Judge Roaa’a let
ter, Frank’s counsel stated, obviated
the necessity of extejiding arjrument
and pemiitted a quicker termination
of the hearing, '
Frank did not attend the proceed
ings, but his wife was presently thru-
out the sessions. There were only
about a dozen women present among
the spectators who crowded the cfijtm-
ber.
Former Congressman Howard who.
conducted Frtnk’s case before the com-'
mission, submitted a mass of court
records, petitions from legislature and
societies and letters from prominent
lawyers and jurisis inuiviJiii^i. Ki£
oral argument w^ s brief. .At the early
session a number of well known Geor-;
gia lawyers and juries nnade oral
pleas in behalf of Frank and at the
concluding session arguments were-
presented by former CJovemor Eugene
N. Foss, of Massachusetts, represent
ing citizens of that state; John M.
O’Conner, chief justice of the criminal
court of Cook county, Illinois, repre
senting the Chicago Frank comniit-
tee; Mrs. Mary Delaney Fisher of
Chicago, representing ?0C- 000 women
from all over the cotiitry, whose peti
tion she presented; Dr. J. W. Cou^lin,
of Boston, and others.
Jlr. Howard, during argTiment for
Frank, offered in evidence an analysis
of the court record regarding the
"m\irder notes” found beside Mary
Phagan’s body, and whicih played an
important part in the triaj. This
analysis, Mr. Howard declared, was
intended to show that James Conley,
woo IE serving a prison sentence as
aecewiwy after the murder, c;yn$*ived
anid wrote the ndlcs; that they were
written in lii* style of expression and

London, June 1.—Four persons were
killed and several injured in the Taid
on London last night by Zeppelin air
ships. .Although ninety bombs were
dropped no public bnildiiigs were hit
and the property daniage was not
iiSu-ry.
The raid brought a recrudescence of
the anti-GeiTnan mob demonstrations
today. The feeling against German.s
is acute. Crowds haye attacked Ger
man shops and special constables have
had to be called out to deal with the
people. As a further mark of German
disapproval the Lord Chamberlain re
voked the royal warrants given to
three German firms trading in Lon
don.
This information was contained in
an official statement given out today
as follows:—
“In amplification of the informa
tion which appeared in this morn
ing’s newspapers, the following parti
culars of last night’s Zeppelin raid
in the metropolitan area are now av»i!-
abJe for publication.
‘'Laty last .‘iight about ninety bombs
mostly of an incendiary character,
were dropped from hostile aircraft in
various localities not far distant from
each other, A number of fires, of
which only throe were li.rge enough
to li. lire the scivices of fire engines,
broke out. All of them were prompt
ly i:nd effectively dealt with, and only
one of them necessitated a district
call. The fires all were caused by tho
incendary bombs referred to,
“Xo public building was injured, but
a number of private promises wei-e
damaged by fire and water.
“The number of casualties is small,
so far as has at present been M-
certaiaed. One infant, cne boy, on-;
man and one woman were killed, and
another wonwn was so seriously in
jured that her life is despaired of,
few other private citizens were
seriously injured, but the precise num
ber has not yet been ascertained.
“Adequate police arrangements, in
cluding the calling out of special con-
.cta.bles, enabled the situation to be
kepi thoroughly in hand at all time«.”

HIS LEAD.
Those angelic looking little boys,
with golden curls, are usuaRy just like
other boys; a fact often overlooked by
female relatives and other adoring
ladies. One of this cherubic brand of
small boys came back from school the
other day rather depressed because
he had no nickname.
“I spoke to the teacher aboui it,” h"
vouchsafed,'his big eyes opened wide,
a mournful look about his ans^lic
mouth, “I toid her some nicknames
that I’d like.”
' “And what were the names?" in
quired a rapturous maiden aunt.
“Banco Bill or The Slugger,” replied
the angelic one.
