Frank Has a Fighting Chance in Georgia Prison
Milledgeville Ga July 19 Leo M L Frank rests in the state prison hospital with what attendants say is a fighting chance for recovery. Physicians stopped the flow of blood from a throat wound caused by a butcher knife wielded by William Green a fellow convict. The attack occurred as Frank slept in a dormitory Saturday night. Green claims he acted alone and gave only the remark that he thought it "should be done." Green refuses to talk and remains in irons. Dr W J McNaughton helped save Frank by binding the jugular and stopping the bleed. The prison commission may investigate the incident and the governor indicated he may order inquiry into the motive.
