Leo Frank Lynched
Mob Wrecks Vengeance Upon Convicted Murderer of Little Mary Phagan Near Marietta.
   Leo M. Frank, the convicted murderer of little Mary Phagan, was taken from the Georgia State Prison at Milledgeville, Ga., Monday night about 11 o'clock and lynched by a mob, estimated in number between twenty-five and seventy-five, after overpowering the warden and guards and forcing an entrance to the prison.
   After securing Frank the mob proceeded in automobiles to within a few miles of the home of the little murdered girl, near Marietta, where he was strung to a tree and his body riddled with bullets.
  The mob was orderly and worked with quick precision.  Plans were carefully made and so well carried out that it was more than an hour after the prisoner was taken before prison officials could give the alarm.  All telephone wires leading to the prison were cut before the attach was made.  The mob was masked and heavily armed and every command given by the leader was promptly compiled with.
   'We will take Frank to Marietta and lay his body on the grave of Mary Phagan," is the remark said to have been made by the leader of the party.
   It is not known whether or not Frank made any statement as to his guilt or innocence and as this information could only form those connected with the affair, it will probably be some time, if ever, before it is known.
