line of the German trenches and ad
vanced to the second, only; to be forced
to retire when other sections of their
I line were unable to keep pace with the
forward movement owing to encount
ering . entanglements which had not
been torn up.

Governor Slaton refuses to commute
Leo Frank's -death sentence, an exec
utive reprieve is unlikely.
This was indicated here today when
the governor declared that the accuse!
slayer of Mary Phagan had had ample
time to prepare for death since the
court's Judgment was pronounced.
While no announcement was forth
coming, it appeared probable today
that the governor's decision regarding
commutation would not be given out
before Tuesday, the day set for the ex.

T Bets at 3 to 1 that Leo M. Frank
would receive commutation' of sentn o
from death to life Imprisonment wer
freely made on the streets today. It
seems to be the . unanimous opinion
that the governor Will grant clemency.
Another evidence of this came today,
when it was rumored that, the sentenca
bad been commuted, and that Frank.
was on his way to Mlnedgevlllc, t!.

governor denied, asserting that he
