| Transcript: | MOBILE, Jan. 12. – Ed Frankin, a negro, convicted here of killing Adolphus Bailey on the Tensaw river, and sentenced to imprisonment for life, has confessed that, while serving a term of four years for assault to murder, in Pratt Mines, he murdered a fellow prisoner with a pick. For this homicide he was punished by the mine superintendent receiving 20 lashes. That no further action was taken is a matter of great surprise among local officials. |
