The fate of Leo M. Frank was placed finally in the hands of Governor Slaton late today at the conclusion of the hearing on a plea for commutation of his death sentence.

Mr. Howard attacked the testimony of state witnesses and sought' to convince the governor of alleged inconsistencies and contradictions in the evidence and affidavits of Jim Conley, a negro, who served a prison term as an accessory after the murder. He ar-serted that Conley's story was an invention of his own mind, designed to divert suspicion from himself.

a public mind that is a clean slate and put this case in any county in Georgia and I will acquit this defendant in 30 minutes."
