RUCKERS FINAL ** BOX SCORE EDITION The Atlanta Georgian Read for Profit—-GEORGIAN WANT ADS---Use for Results VOL. XII. NO. 20. ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, AUGUST 26,1913. 2 CENTS. FAY NO I MORE FRANK TO DIE OCTOBER 10; WILL APPEAL Iff CASE IS IN S' Almost before the dread verdict of “guilty” had ceased ringing in his ears, Leo M. Frank, convicted of slaying Mary Phagan, heard Tuesday the still more ter rible words, “sentenced to hang by the neck until dead,” before the echo of his own words, “lam innocent” had died away. Frank will pay the penalty for the murder of Mary Phagan, which the jury Monday agreed he had committed, on October 10, unless the efforts of his two lawyers, who already have started a new fight for his life, are successful in postponing the execution er ultimately in cleanirg their client. There is little doubt that the execution will be put off, as an appeal will act as a stay. Sentence had hardly been pronounced by Judge L. S. Roan at 10:40 o’clock Tuesday morning in his courtroom in the Thrower building before Attorney Reuben Arnold was on his feet to make a motion for a new trial. Judge Roan said that he would set October 4 as the date for hearing the arguments on the motion. It is known that Solicitor Dorsey is most vigorously opposed to any movement looking to ward the reopening of the case. He asserted repeatedly during the last days of the trial that the claim of the defense that Frank was not receiving a fair trial was ridiculous on its face. Wife Waits Outside During Sentence. While the death penalty was being imposed upon the factory superintendent, his young wife sat outside the Thrower building in an automobile. She had followed her husband in the car, wait ing for him as he was taken into court between two deputies and again following him when he was conveyed back to the Tower. Mrs. Frank remained with her husband throughout the re mainder of the day in his cell at the jail. They received none of the many visitors who called during the afternoon. Frank displayed no more emotion than he did during the prog ress of the long trial. He, perhaps, was a trifle paler than usual and his face a bit more haggard, but aside from this none would have known as he stepped firmly down from the Thrower building steps that he was a man on whom the death sentence had just been pronounced. The fight for Frank’s life, which may consume many months, arouses a question as to the disposal of Jim Conley. It is the gen eral supposition that Conley’s case will be held in abeyance until Frank’s fate definitely is determined by a new trial or the decision of the appeal to the Supreme Court. Newt Lee Released From C ustody. i Newt Lee, material witness in the Frank trial and at one time a suspect, was released from custody Tuesday morning after spending exactly four months in jail. A long and notable legal fight is certain over the effort to save Frank from paying the penalty fixed by the court. The case will be carried to the highest courts if Judge Roan refuses a new trial. There was the hush of horror as the dreadful ‘' Hanged by the neck until dead, and may God have mercy on your soul,” were uttered by the judge. The signs of Franks emotion were few as ever. A few minptes later he was asserting, clearly and calmly, his entire innocence. Frank heard his sentence with but a slight show of nervous ness. He stood leaning slightly against the railing in front of the judge’s bench looking straight into Judge Roan’s eyes. Occa sionally he moistened his lips, but otherwise he was calm. His eyes though, were bloodshot and his skin more pronouncedly white than ever before. Frank Again Protests Innocence. Judge Roan addressed him: "The jury which has been trying you for the last several weeks has found you guilty. Have you anything to say why sen tence should not be passed on you at this time?” Frank leaned slightly against the railing and placed one hand behind his back before replying. Then he said in a calm, even voice: “Your Honor, I say now as I have always said: I am inno- Spirited away early Tuesday morning from Griffin, Ga., where fueling is running high over an attempted assault on a 12-year- old girl, Wil|i>am T. Thomas, aged 69 years, was brought to Atlanta late Tuesday afternoon and lodg ed in the county jail by Sheriff Hudson, of Spaulding County. Threats of lynching spurred the ofncers to make all possible haste in reaching Atlanta. According to the Sheriff, Thomas, who is a shoemaker by trade, is charged with late Monday afternoon en ticing the 12-year-old daughter of Ben Johnson, his next door neighbor, over to his house. The little girl got away from the old man and told the neighbors. The parents of the little girl were away from home.
