The Prison Commission
of the State of Georgia
Milledgeville, Ga.
Aug. 18, 1915
Hon. Geo. M. Napier
State of Georgia
Prison Commission
Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:
I am in receipt of your letter of the 17th inst., in regard to the application of Leo M. Frank for a commutation of his sentence from death to life imprisonment, and in reply thereto will say that I have given the matter careful consideration and have consulted with others in regard to the same. I am of the opinion that the evidence in the case is not sufficient to warrant a commutation of the sentence. I am therefore constrained to recommend that the application be denied.
Respectfully,
(Signed) John M. Slaton, Governor
I concur in the above recommendation.
(Signed) Geo. M. Napier
I concur in the above recommendation.
(Signed) W. Y. McElreath
