S3 (JO 'Q Skylight Robber Loots West End Safe WW ^ I . | SPEECH The heaHng; of the plea of Leo M. Frank for a commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment was re sumed Monday morning before Gov ernor Slaton in the Governor’s office in the Capitol, in the presence of a crowd that thronged the office and the corridors, as on Saturday. Solicitor Dorsey was present and ready to begin his argument in oppo sition to commutation. Mr. Dorsey had prepared an extensive brief of the evidence and law in the case, from which he was to make his speech. It was his purpose then to turn this brief over to the Governor for furtner perusal at the close of the hearing. It was the {solicitor's re quest that he be given* time^-to pre pare this brief that resulted in the sudden halting of the proceedings Saturday shortly after noon. Former Congressman William M. Howard, who presented Frank’s plea Saturday morning, will make the closing argument in behalf of the condemned man. It was announced Monday that no others of Frank's counsel would speak. It was under stood that Mr. Howard had planned to reply to parts of the argument of former Governor Joseph M. Brown on Saturday. State Senator C. E. McGrego, of Warrenton, was expected by Solicitor Dorsey to appear before the Governor Monday to oppose interference with the death sentence. It w’as generally believed that the hearing would he concluded Monday, because of the fact tltat Governor Slaton has an engagement to deliver the commencement address Tuesday at the University of Georgia, in Ath ens.

The Governor has made no announcement as to when he will inspect the plant of the National Pen cil Factory, as he was invited to do by the State and defense, but this in spection is not likely until after his return from Athens. It generally was believed Monday that the Governor would announce his decision on the question of commu tation before the end of the week, be cause of the brief time intervening before the date set for Frank’s exe cution—Jun 22.

PETROGRAD, June 14.— As a. re sult of the signal defeat of General von Mackensen’t main army moving along the railway to Moeciska Wed nesday night the attempt on Lemberg ha* been abandoned. Von Mackens/fen started his attack with three hours of terrific artillery cannonading, to which th* Russians did not reply. When the German In fantry were within 200 yards of the trenches the Russians opened a mur derous fire and charged. They took the Teutons' front line along both sides of the railway and remained there. The Germans and Austrians at tempted to fortify their second line, but the Russian*, pressing on in great numbers on the north and south, passed beyond. Crossfire by Russians from both ends killed 20.000 before dawn, when the German* began a disorderly re treat. The Russians remained In close contact, with them, continuing the fight. Prisoners from the other German army, which on Thursday was de feated at Zurawno. are being sent through Lemberg incessantly. Cap tured officers for the first time show their gratitude^because they are still alive. All the prisoners are exhaust ed from the five weeks’ fighting. Part of the army of General von Linsingen Is moving In the direction of Bukowina. It evidently will rest upon the Roumanian frontier, where the Russians are numerous Heavy fighting is expected there. It is thought the Germans will cross the Roumanian frontier for safety, seeing their attempts to reintrench themselves are futile. The Russians hold the mountain roads, thus pre venting supplies from reaching them. The entire operations of the Auetro- Germans in Eastern Galicia have been ruined by their distance from base* and the amazing vigor and mobility of the Russian infantry. The army which intended to recapture Lemberg now is broken in two, defeated and separated from the army In Bukowina. Mackensen s army seems to be be ginning to withdraw to Western Po land for a renewed attempt against Warsaw The operations in Courland, in th#> direction of Kovno. evidently are intended to ascertain the strength of the Russians in the north.
