"Conley claimed Frank asked him to come to the factory on Batudday and r.atch for him, as he had done, which, lis explained, meant that Frank expected ' to meet some women," ths goernor says, "Conley occupied a darn plana beside the elevator behind some boxes." "Conley mentioned several mala and female employes who went up the steps to the second floor, where Frank's offloe was located. He said Mary Phagan went up the stairs: thsa In a few minutes he heard footsteps coins toward the metal . loom; that he heard a scream and than 'dosed.

Petitions bearing bun lrd of thousands of names from vart- Kiiite ll!aturea. societies and cona- thousands of Individual let ters urging clemency for Frank were presented to the commission. In opposi tion to the application there were filed a letter from Solicitor Dorsey. who prose cuted Frank, and a protest from cltlsens of Cobb oounty, Georgia, where Mary Phagan formerly lived. Tha commission recommended against clemency. Frank's counsel, prior to the clemency appeal, had made seven unsuccessful at tempts before the county superior and state supreme court to obtain a new trial or have the verdict set aslds. The federal district court refused to grant a writ of ' habeas corpus and ths United States su preme court declined to grant a writ of error for review of the ease and also de nied Frank's appeal In habeas corpus pro ceeding. Four times the sentence of death was pissed open blra.; Frank's removal from the Jail here was carefully planned and the officers were abls to elude newspaper men and others who might have recognised their prisoner.

Freaeh Maklna- t.elns. French and German areounts of opera tions In the western theater show the usual divergencies, but the. detailed re ports from Tarts satisfy the Brltlnh that their allies are making such an advance as will shortly permit more active opera tions In the sphere occupied by the British army. The French advance north of Arras, It Is thought here, must have pushed the Germans Into a narrowed front which will render some of their masses of troops comparatively Inef fective. The gains In Alsace show that the French are drawing close to the area of permanent German fortification The arrival at the bedside of Sultan Mehemed of Prof. James Adolph Israel, the German specialist, indicates that earlier reports that the sultan was suf fering from a mild attack of catarrh did not show his real condition. The fact that the sultan was unable to maks his customary Friday visit to the mosque last week showed that his Illness was not slight, as such an omission Is considered justified only by extreme necessity.
