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.
