Many of those rescued are in

Atlanta, Ga. Jan. 22.—Instead
of swinging on the gallows to-
day, Leo M. Frank, thrice con-
victed of murdering Mary Pha-
gen, young factory girl in April
1913, was in his cell hopefully
awaiting the result of his appeal
to the United States Supreme
Court allowed by Justice Lamar.
This was the day last set for
Frank’s execution. It was the
third time he had been sentenced
to death. This was the day last

he has presented a resolution
making it against the rules of
