Frank’s Death Place to Be Preserved By Concrete Wall.

Watchmen have been guarding the big oak tree on which the lifeless body of Leo Frank was found last Tuesday morning-. The tree is soon to be surrounded by a concrete wall, it is announced, and thus preserved by the owner, W. J. Frey, to mark the death place of the alleged murderer of the Phagan girl. The tree is being guarded night and day and it is said that the owner has declined an offer of S2OO for the tree. The body of Frank was laid to rest in Mount Carmel cemetery Friday.
