Con vinced by the impassioned lone of Leo M. Frank's denial, jut hefoie Judge Hill sentenced him Snlnrdny lo bo linnped April 17, (lint be mur dered Mary Phngnn. n fnclory p'rl. influential residents were initiating n movement today to Ret the con demned in im pardoned, or nt lcn-t to rjnin for him a commutation of sentence. Keeling nRninsl Frank wns stnuifr, both before and during hU trial, but his fitntcment ju.-t before sen tence was pronounced was so re markable for its dignity, eloquence and apparent sincerity that many declared today they bnd changed (heir mind. Frank said: "Mny it please your honor, I trust your honor will itndcrMnnd that I ppenk impersonally, addressing my words mora to the bench, n representing the majesty or the law of Georgia, than to the gentleman now on the bench. I well know that your honor has nanght to do with the various vicissitudes of my case. Say He Im Innocent "In your honor's presence, repre senting human Inw, and in the pres ence of the Supremo Judge, who nt this very moment is easting the light of his omniiKJtent and omni present eye from his throne on high, I ns.scrt I am innocent of little Mary Phagrnn's death and have no knowl edge of how it occurred. "I.nv, ns we know it, your honor, is but the expression of man's legal cxiericncc. It is but relative. It tries to approximate justice. In the name of the law, many grievous er rors hnvo been committed, errors that wcro colossal and irretrievable. I declare to your honor now that the state of Georgia is about to make such nn error. . Xot for Wood Sacrifice "The Inw says that when one line lost bis life through violence of an other, the perpetrator of the deed must answer with his own. Let mc bo just. Hut the law does not soy that where one is killed u blood Vae rifico shall be made of the next con venient individual. If this bitter ob tains, then taking of such life is no justice. It is .but murder legalized. Oh, what n terrible thing this is to contemplate. Your honor is nbout to pronounce words thnt will thrust me over the abyss that separates our earthly existence from the higher life, the life eternal. I may shortly stand before the tribunal of the Higher Jiidse, of whom human minds have but the slightest conception. Iteforc that tribunal I will be udjudg. cd ns I now am, innocent, mid will receive the reward of those who suf fer wrongfully on this earth. "Your honor, nn astounding and outrageous state of affairs obtained previous and during my trial. On the streets rumor nnd gossip carried vile, vicious and damning stories concerning mo nnd my life. These stories were absolutely false nnd did me great harm, ns they beclouded mid obsessed the public mind and outraged it against inc. Stories Crept Into Trial "From u public in this state of mind the jury thnt tried me wiih chosen. Not alone were theso stor ies circulated on the street, but, to the bliauiu of our community be it said, these vile insinuations crept into my very trial in the courtroom, creeping in insidiously like a thief in the night. "The virus of these damning in sinuations entered the minds of the twelve men nnd stole nuny their judicial frame of mind and their .courage. The issuo nt bar was lost, tliu poison of unspeakable things took its plnce. "Your honor, in this prescneo nnd boforo God, I earnestly usk that God, in bis me ray, may deal lightly with thoso who unwillingly, I trust, liuvo erred against me, and will deal with them uccording to his divine judgment. "If the stnto and the luw wills that my life bo taken ns' n blood atonement for tho poor little child who was ruthlessly killed by another, then it remnins for mo only to die, with wiuitover fortitudo my man hood mny allow. "Hut I urn innocent of this crime, nnd tho future will prove it. I am now ready for your honor 'a sen-tewce.

With the exception of very few days of extremely inclement weather the work hns not been permitted to lag, as the migress mndc clearly demonstrates.

S POLITICAL PLOT-IS PROGRESSING The dire plot described by the Oregonian for the creating of a dem ocratic political machine out of the fish nnd game wardens by Gnvcmo! West, is progressing merrily.

Poll, tho undertaker, o ground net the F.IW new club house, on North Ceptral nvenue, now under construction, Juis caused u wave of agitation mid indignation to sweep the lodge, piopeity-owneis and residents of the block. The duel objection is to n morgue being erect ed next door to u temple of social nnd loduc activity, and the city council will be asked lo pass an or dinance forbidding the erection of morgues in the same blocks as hotels and club houses. It is understood thnt a proposition to buy the lot that co-t $2000 Tor $11300 has been made, and is under consideration by the lodge mid resi dents tif the block. I'nless this deal goes Ihroiigh, it is said, the under taker will build his place of busi ness in spite of protest nnd opposi tion. Some tin onion legal action, but there arc no technical or rcnl grounds upon which a condemnation suit could be brought. Previous efforts to prevent the purchase of the site for morgue purposes resulted in fail ure and offers for the purchase of the property at nil advance over its cost were rejected.
