Prank. Both state and city officials said they anticipated no further trouble, but ns a precau tionary measure additional militiamen are held under arms at the armory here and extra policemen are avail able. Governor Slaton spent several hours at-his office in tho capitol today. Po licemen accompanied him to and from bis home In an automobile. There was no demonstration. The governor tonight did not knovy when the guard would be removed from his country estate. "The crowd which visited my home last night was nut composed of the best people of Atlanta," said the governor today. "I received hundreds of telegrams from persons in Georgia and throughout the country congratulating me on my action in the Prank case." Thirty-four -persons- who were ar rested in connection with the demon strations were given hearings in police court today. Nominal fines were -Im posed in eleven of the cases, olgiii were dismissed and the other contin ued. Atlanta, June 22.-While two bat talions of state military and troop of the governor's horse guards ar? still on guard at Governor Slaton's co: utry estate, quiet prevailed both tbbrc and in Atallnta this morning and there was no indication ot a repeti tion of exciting [scenes of yesterday and last night, which followed the announcement of the commutation of Leo M. Prank's death sentence. In the city, beer saloons, were al lowed to reopen this morning. No crowds wero on the streets. At the governor's horns it is stated the mili tia will probably be withdrawn .to night.

Turee militiamen were slightly hurt by bottles and bricks thrown. Tho crowd dispeled about midnight. No shots were fired. Horsey Denounce*. Biston. Atlanta, June 22.-Averring that ho considered Governor John M. Hin ton disqualified to pass upon the Leo M. Prank.case, Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey, who prosecuted tho prisoner, Monday afternoon issued a ntatement to The Constitution denouncing tho hr stowe! of clemency and explaining why ho had gone before the govern or to oppose the Frank plea for commutation. "I did not appear before tho par don board," ns said, "because I reit confident that, with Ute evidence and the fcourt records before them, there would b0 no Interference with the col urta of justice. When their deci sion refusing to recommend commu tation was transmitted. I felt it to be my duty to plead for the enforcer' ment of tho.law by tho chief execu tive because 1 knew the force of the influence at work .to upset the, judgments ' of the courts and of tho pardon board." ; Dorsey also charges that no de fendant within his recollection had the benefits ot more appeals to the judlcal processes, state and fed eral, than Prank. Prank's guilt, the solicitor says, waa conclusively estab lished beyond a reasonable doubt to toe satisfac?an of ap impartial jury of twelve re.-ntable 'Georgians- - and their verdict was approved by- the tria- joJgo and affirmed by the su preme court of Georgia.
