TIT THE WASHINGTON TIMES, MONDAY, MAY 24, 1915. NAT ON-WIDE APPEA Demand for Commutation of Death Sentence Practically Unanimous. ATLANTA. May 21. Probably never eforo In the history of the United States has there been Buch a countrywide demand for clemency for a convicted person as Is being mado for Leo M.

Frank, under sentenco of death here for the murder of Mary Phagan. As soon as the United States Supreme Court decided that there was no legal reason for up3ettlnB the verdict of the Georgia courts the country awoke to the fact that there was no Judicial hope for Frank, and that the only chance to save him from death on the gallows was by an appeal to the prison commission and to Gov. John M. Slaton for clemency. The general opinion seems to be that the prison commission will recommend commutation and that Governor Slaton will confirm the recommendation.

In fact It is said that two of the three members of the prison commission have declared that they Intend to vote for commutation. Letters Pouring In. Every dav since the Supreme Court destroyed Frank's last ludlclal hope letters and telcgrama have been pouring In to the governor and the prison commission. In one day as many as 3,500 t'Xtcrs and telegrams have been received at the capital and the number is steadily increasing as May 31, the date on which the prison commission will take up the case, draws near. Already more than 600,000 messages have been received and It Is predicted that before final action is taken more than i million names will be submitted ti the prison commission and Governor Slaton In rv'crente to Frank's appeal for a commutation of the death sentenco to one of Impilsonmcnt for life.

Themes-snges are notable not only for ihelr number, but also for the prominence of the men who have sent many of thcin. United States Senators, governors prftP members of Congress avc among those who have appealed foi clemency for Frank. Stato Leglslatuies also are urelnff that the death senteree be commuted. Governor Slaton has been notified that the Legislature of Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Texas and Tennessee have passed Joint resolutions In Frank's beta! f. Georgians Sign Pleas.

But It Is not only from other States that petitions being received ior Frank. Thousands of Georgians are signing pleas In his behalf. It Is said that practically eeiy banker In Atlanta and many ottier Georgia cities huvo requested e'emency. Nearly ill of the lawyers In Atlanta will urge that the sentence bo commuted, according to reports. One of th'j lawyers who Is urplng that clemency be shown Is Basil Stockbrldge.

formerly assistant to Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey, who pros ecuted Frank. Thomas I.oylevs. editor of the Augusta Chronicle, furnishes! the most notable cxamplo of the changed sentiment In regard to Frank. Loyless had uhvays Insisted that Frank Is guilty and that he was fairly tried and Justly convicted. Tho Augusta editor had been very caustic In his comments on persons outside Georgia who have criticised tho Frank trial as unfair and attacked the Georgia courts.

Loyless, however, has written to the prison commission urging that Frank's death sentence be commuted.
