Wednesday, 26th May 1915: Two More State Bodies Request Frank Clemency, The Atlanta Constitution

Two State Legislative bodies followed in the wake of the States who have been endorsing Commutation for Leo M. Frank, when the Representatives of Louisiana and Michigan took official action, pleading for Executive Clemency.

A Resolution introduced into the House of Representatives when the State Legislature of Louisiana met in Baton Rouge received a favorable vote of thirty-one to four.

A similar Resolution in Lansing, Mich., was adopted unanimously. Both Resolutions are being forwarded to Governor John M. Slaton.

Another Development in the Frank Case Tuesday was the Request made by the Prisoner to Chicago and New York Authorities to bar the Moving Picture Drama written around the Frank Case, in which the Characters of Frank, Conley and Solicitor Hugh Dorsey were played by Professional Actors.

"It appears that fakers are trying to utilize the notoriety given my Case," he wrote, "to make a few pennies."

The Picture has been put under the ban in both Cities.
