His Execution is Set Fur April 17. i

j
Atlanta. Ga.. .March 7.?Leo M. i
Frank was resentenced to death here i
'today for the murder of Mary Pha- j c
gan. a factory girl. His execution was ' t
set for April 17. j c
The dare set for the execution is,1
the prisoner's 3oth birthday. This fact;<
... 11
was not known until senience * was.v
pronounced, when Frank, turning to '
1 .
a friend, remarked that the 17th would j1
be his birth anniversary. Frai'.k was
^born in Quero, Texas, on April IT,
' * 1884. ; i

in nrnn.iiinr-ir.o- tpnlpnrn I11PFP- ! I
iy carried ou: the order of the su- s
preme court of Georgia, which on Feb- I
ruary IT approved the convicticn. *
Fra?k previously had been sen ten c ul t;
to be executed October H>, 1913. but i
sentence was suspended pending d
ci*ion of a nuti n for a new trial, an i
appeal to the supreme court, and a 11
motion for rehearing on the appeal.; <
The last of these efforts ro save the <
life of the young factory superinten-; t
dent was defeated by decision of the j *
supreme court on February 25. < 1
Protests Innocence. j1
Immediately after the formal de- 5
-eree of execution was read by Judge ?
Hill, the condemned man made a brief
statement to the court, protesting his t
Innocence. He spoke with composure, j
varying his tone of voice only to em- i
phasize various points touched upon <(
in his statement. * i
Attorneys for Frank already have j
.announced their intention of filing an j ]
extraordinary motion for a new trial j ]
on ground of newly discovered evi- j J
deuce. This action, it is expected, will i (
be delayed several weeks and pend-: 1
ing disposal of the motion by the su- j ]
perior court, the date of - execution j
may be still further deferred.
While no definite announcement
"has been made oi the nature of alle- i
gations to be incorporated in the ex- :
traordinary mo'ion, it is expected to ; 1
tUUUii uyuii 5>Ciciai amuaYKB > .
ly made public by counsel for Frank, j
These include sworn statements from \
two State witnesses at the trial of i(
i j
Frank last autumn that thev testi-1
; ?
fied falsely in regard to the move- j
ments of the 14-vear-old factory girl j 1
and Frank on^the day of her murder.
April 26, 1913. Two other affi- i ^
davits purport to establish an alibi
for <Frank. Another charges a con-'
: i
spiracy of evidence against him. j'
Judge Hill, who pronounced sen-;1
lence today, recently succeeded Judge j
L. S. Roan, who presided at Frank's j1
trial, sentenced him to death on Au- (
gust 26 and on October 13 denied him j
a motion for a new trial. I *

for a "blood sacrifice'' had been re-, *

sponsible for "his conviction. j

"The law says that when one has *
lost his life through violence of another,"
he said, "the perpetrator of r
the deed must answer with his own. i
But the law does not say that where t
one has been killed a blood sacrifice P
must be made or the next convenient

ThoiUplit Tliem Lost.
Capt. Simmons did not know of the
rescue of 'First Officer Thompson, one
ireman and two seamen until his arrival
in port as when last seen the
nen were struggling in tae surf, their
small boat having been swamped.
The larger boat put toward the
>pen sea fearing a similar fate. L'nible
to make headway in the rough
sea. which poured water iiuo their
ictle craft almost as fast as it could
>e baled out. the men decided to
Irift and depend on being picked up.
[t was 5 o'clock and snowing hard
vhen t'aev saw the lights of the Bayport
and set off a torch. Had this
lot been seen and a response made,
Tapt. Simmons and his men could
iot have survived many more hours.
Explaining the foundering of the
)oat, Capt. Simmons said that her
>ottom seams opened and all Friday
vater poured in at such a rate that
wo hours later the ship was filled to
ler upper beams. He and his men
larely had time to get off in the only
.mail boats the. steamer carried beore
she plunged to >?he bottom.
First Mate Thompson and three
nen took to the small boat and the
emainder of the crew crowded into
he 20-foot boat picked up by the Bay>ort.
The Charlemagne Tower, Jr., was
iwned by the Southern Steamship

ine trip to Wilmington, had been out
f' commission for six years, it is said.

TO THE PUBLIC.
The board of health of the citj, at
a meeting on last Tuesday decided
that small pox that has been prevailing
in this community for some time
is now on the decrease and while vacI
cination is not compulsory, they would
i advise every one who ha? not been
vaccinated in the la6t year or two, to
do so at once, as it is a sure preventive
of tihis disease. But if any citizen
refuses to be vaccinated and
should contract this loathsome disease
they will have no one to blame but
themselves.

THE GREATEST KIDNEY REMEDY

WOMAN.
I want to tell you how much good
our Swamp-Root did me. About four
ears ago. I suffered from what the.
octors called fistula and for two
ears of that time, I endured what no
ongue can tell. I also 'had inflammaion
of the bidder and I tried doctors
ledicines without receiving any help,
iomeone told me about Dr. Kilmer's
wamp-Root.
After giving it a thorough trial, I
eceived relief, so kept on using it
nd today I am a strong and well wolan.
If I ever feel badly or out of
orts, I take Swamp-Root and it always
straightens me out. I honestly
elieve that this medicine would cure
11 troubles you recommend it for and
: is a pleasure for me to send my tesimony
and photograph to you.. I
tiink Dr. Kilmer's Swlamp-Root is
ne of the greatest medicines on earth.
