A small but well organized mob took Leo M. Frank from the state prison farm at Milledgeville, Ga., late Monday night, brought him 100 miles to almost within sightof the former home of Mary Phagan, tne girls he wis charged with killing, and hanged him to a tree. No shots were fired. The body, barefooted and clothed only in prison trousers and shirt, was found two miles from Marrietta at 8:30 Tuesday morning. It is believed the lynching oc curred about daylight. While officers were searching the coun try about Milledgeville early today, local officials viewed as significant the fact that several automobiles had left this town well loaded in the direction of Milledgeville last night. After the return of some of these machines today officers started out on the road which they believed the automobiles had traveled. They had gone only two miles when they saw the bod) of Frank not more than 150 yards from the roadside. News that the body had been found spread rapidly in the town and surrounding country. Within a short time hundreds of persons cr wded the Roswell road on the trip to view the body. Frank's body was cut down at 10:15 o'clock this morning, but not until another spectacular phase had been added to the case. One of the crowd in the mob advo cating mutilation of the body. Newton A. Morris spoke immediately after Howell and pleaded with the throng to allow an inquest to take its proper course. As there was an evident difference of opinion, a vote was suggested and taken. It wbs overwhelmingly in favor of letting the coroner take charge of the body. It was then cut down and the two-mile trip to , Marietta started. FOUR FOR SIMS. Speaking of the address made in Chat tanooga by Congressman Sims, the Times said: "On the front row of seat sat four Polk county citizens Dr. J. D. Nuchols, Dr. J. B. Cross, Joe B. and Charles Blankenslip, of Benton who said they came fifty-two miles through the mud in an automobile to hear the opening speech. 'Say for us,' Dr. Nuohols addressed a reporter, 'that Luke Lea sold out Polk county, but we are going to see it can't be delivered.' After a conference with the congressman they said he would speak in Polk county at an early date." M'KELLAR IN THE RACE. Congressman Kenneth D. McKellar, of the Tenth district, has announced his can didacy for the Democratic nomination for United States senator. This makes the third hat in the ring and and rumor has it that several more are in the notion. It is going to be a hotly contested race and Democratic fur will fly as never be fore. And by the time the run-off takes place, Democratic harmony will be one glad, sweet song. The report and we hope it's true has gone down the line that the vote of Polk county reposesin the vest pocket of a certain individual and that it is to be delivered to Senator Lea in a lump. While this is strenuously denied by many, we hope that the Repubiieans oi Polk county will not foret what they owe the senator for redistricting this county. tltlMJj j, OVER 65 YC vV fCXPERIEN D CARS CC Tradc Marks nrtiiArUS fr'lWl' Copyright Ac A e rone ndlnf a eketch ndMCTlPt,.0JL"f I oolcLIf mscerta.n our opinion free whether ma fJVentloo W P"bblWleiVASRTin onte. tloniitrictlTConH'1"tl1- HANDBOOK on rateuia FeteuS taken turough Munn Co. receWe. iperial notice, without cbr la to Scientific Jimcrican.
