Milledgeville, Ga., July 19.—Physicians who examined Leo M. Frank in the state prison early to-day said his condition was much worse. The jagged cut in his throat, received at the hands of a fellow prisoner, William Green, Saturday night, was swollen and his temperature was 102 2-5.
Physicians have succeeded in stopping the flow of blood from a jagged wound made with a butcher knife by William Green, also serving a life term for murder. The blow was struck as Frank slept in his bunk.
An investigation of the attack probably will be made by the Georgia prison commission.
Frank's temperature was as low as 101 Monday noon, but ran up to 102 2-5 Monday night. The wound is an ugly, jagged one.
BRYAN LOSES TEMPER
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 2.—William J. Bryan, who formerly held a government job, has temper.
He took said temper out for an airing here to-day. He was riding from the railroad station to the hotel with a reception committee, of which a reporter happened to be a member.
"Do you ever intend to be a candidate for public office?" asked the reporter.
"I think, sir, if you had any sense you wouldn't have asked that question," replied the exponent of peace.
"I meant no impertinence."
