Prisoners Aid Frank. Amonig _prisoners who rusaed to Frank’s aid were two physicians, one of whom was serving a life term for mur- der. They gave first aid and treated the wound until Dr. Gliy Compton, the prison physician, was summoned from his home half a mile away. The three men_took 25 stitches in Frank's neck. Dr. H. J. Rosenberg, the Frank family physician, arrived from Atlanta today with nurses. He said that while the patient’s condition was precarious, he had a chance for life. Mrs. Frank, who was in Milledgeville, was not told of the attack until after the physicians had finished their work. She became hysterical, but later was calmed and was taken to the prison hospital. Jugular Vein Partly Severed. The cut extends from the front of the neck around the left side, almost to the spine. either the windpipe nor the spinal cord is hurt, but the jugular vein is partly severed. The physicians’ greatest fear tonight was that some of the stitches might slip, causing more loss of blood. Frank has benefited a great deal by the outdoor life since being brought to the farm June 21. Though a small he always has had a rugged con- stitution and that, coupled with his exercise of the last three weeks, are in his favor, the doctors said.

He ‘did’ not lose consciousness and after being taken to the hospital asked that his assailant be forgiven. Green was sentenced from Columbus, Ga., for killing a man named Kitchen.
