80. ton Braves, Stallings has promised
to furnish Mercer with a member of
the Braves' team to assist in tho
coaching. "The Miracle Man” has ae
complshed wonders with is own ball

GOV. SLATON IN
LEO FRANK CASE
Desk Piled High With Letters
and Telegrams---Goes Out of
Office in June.
Atlanta, Ga.—For once in his career
Governor John M. Slaton faces more
mail than he hopes to answer. His
desk is piled high with letters and tele
grams bearing on the celebrated case
of l,eo M. Frank, and every mail
brings a hundred more. Even his
home is burdened by appeals through
the mail, and many letters and w'ires
are being addressed to Mrs Slaton, in
the hope that she will use her influ
ence with her husband to have him
commute Frank’s sentence or pardon
him. Manuy of the letters insist that
the law tie allowed to take its course.
The governor will not attempt to
answer most of these letters, for he
has not the time. Indeed, he would
not reply to most of them anyway, for
he believes he haa no right to devote
so much of the state’s funds to postage
in such a ease.
The Frank case, furthermore, is
hardly likely to reach Governor Sla
ton, for he goes cut of office next June,
and it is considered probable that
Frank’s lawyers will succeed at least
in delaying the execution past that
time. In this case the application for
clemency would come before Governor
Nat E. Harris who succeeds to office
when the next legislature meets.
The action of Judge W. T. Newman
of the Atlanta federal court has rather
puzzled local lawyers, and up to yes
terday afternoon nobody knew just
what his final action would be.
Frank's atorneys, however, left yes
terday afternoon for Washington to
take the case direct before Justice I.a
mar, as they did when the state su
preme court turned them down, law
yers, ho waver, express no hope that
they can get the case before the su
preme tribunal without Judge New
man's certification.
