Prison Commission

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.
