Just as he has escaped from so many prisons and eluded so many guards “Old Bill” has side-stepped the Grim Reaper. Ten days ago the physicians at the prison farm announced that “Old Bill” had but two or three days to live at the longest. He was very ill with gas tritis and was unconscious. But the aged convict did not share the apprehen sions ol’ his keepers. He informed them that he was not going to die, and it was his stolid, unwavering determination to live that pulled him through the attack, for he is now much improved in health, although the doctors do not believe he will ever be able to leave his bed again. The double shackles have been re moved from “Old Bills' ” legs and he has been placed in a comfortable and cheerful room. He smiles when he notes the absence of the chains and anklets and jokingly remarks that “It is well enough so, for I am too weak to even walk across the room, much less to make a getaway.” “Old Bills’ ” present ailment dates from the time he made his escape from the prison farm in the early summer of last year. He hid himself in the Swamps of the Oconee river for omre than t^vo weeks and during this period he lived upon blackberries and wild plums. He also drank the swamp water, which brought about the stomach trou ble, from which he is now suffering. Does Not Think Their Views on Currency Bill Represent All in Country (By Associated Press.)

Convicted Factory Superin tendent Preparing Exhaust ive Answer to Solicitor Gen eral’s Argument to Jury WHEAT GOUNTRIES ARE Figures of International Insti tute Show Increase of 3.9 Per Cent Leo M. Frank, sentenced to hang on October 10 for the murdter of Mary Pbagan, is preparing an answer to the closing argument to the jury of Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey. He began work on the statement Wednesday morning and expects to have it ready for publication before the end of the week, perhaps by Thursday. It is said that he will take up each point made by the solicitor and give his version. Frank is quoted by friends who call ed at his cell as having said that the solicitor's argument was as “full of holes as a sieve.” “Public sentiment against me over whelmed the jury and made it impossi ble for them to give me a fair trial,” j the prisoner is reported to have remark- I ed Wednesday morning before he began; work on the document. “I want my ver sion to go before the public and let them judge which is true. Their first opin ion is sometimes unjust, but the ulti mate decision of the world is usually right.” The announcement of Frank’s inten tion was made when Rabbi David Marx, M. Klein and others left his cell early j Wednesday afternoon. According to one of these gentlemen Frank has al ready started his work. He is provided wit ha short-hand transcription of Dor sey’s remarkable argument and has an nounced that he will take it point by point and answer each exhaustively. ARGUMENT DECIDED JURY. Frank, it is said, is of the opinion that, had the case gone to trial with out argument—if it had closed when he completed his four-hour statement, he would have been acquitted in fifteen minutes. It was public feeling and the arguments of Frank A. Hooper and So licitor Dorsey that led the jury to find him guilty, it is said. Frank is of the opinion that, in the event of another trial, after public sen timent has changed, as he predicts it will, his time alibi would remain un broken and convincing. The convicted superintendent’s work on the statement so far, it is said, has been the bisection of Solicitor Dorsey’s argument. It is considered probable that when he has all the details more thoroughly in his mind and his reply mapped out, he will call upon his wife to take down in short hand at his dic tation, the answer. Mrs. Frank is an expert stenographer and to her Frank dictated the original statement he made to the jury when he took the witness stand in his trial.
