NEW TRIAL PLEA
TOBENEXTMOVE
Lawyers for Famous Prisoner
Confer as to What Steps
They May Take.
L
Leo M. Frank Wednesday was da
nied a rehearing before the Supreme
Court of Georgia on his appeal from
the decision of Judge L. S. Roan, who
last October refused him a new trial.
The vote of the Supreme Court jus
tices was unanimous.
Frank’s attorneys, Luther Z. Ros
ser and Reuben R. Arnold, went into
immediate conference to determine
their next step, which is expected to
be an extraordinar motion flled in thg
court of Judge Ben Hilli asking for a
new trial on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence.
Mr. Rosser was not ready to say
Wednesday when this motion would
be submitted.
Basis for New Motion.
It will be based in part on the sen
sational statement of Dr. H. I, Har
ris, made six months after the close
of Frank’s trial, that the hair fournd
on a lathe on the second floor of the
pencil factory was not Mary Phagan s
hair; the repudlation of his testi
mcny by the negro Albert McKnigh®,
and the charges of Mrs. Mima Form
by that her affidavit against Frank
was a “fr?lme—up."
If the attorneys wait until after the
resentencing of Frank before filing
the extraordinary motion, it will, if
granted, have the effect of supersed
ing the sentence as was the case at
the time of the mction for a new trial
filed with Judge Roan after he had
imposed the death sentence on the
defendant.
Chief Justice lish and Justice
Beck, who dissented frein the origi
nal decision refusing Frank a new
trial, assented to the denial of a re
hearing, because, as they said, all of
the grounds had been carefully gone
over in the first deliberation on the
appeal, even though they were not
discussed in the opirion, and nothing
would be gained by going over them
again.
Frank’s attorneys, in making the
motion for a rehearing, asserted that
a number of their arguments had
been overlooked or ignored by the
Supreme Court justices.
High Court’'s Ruling.
The Supreme Court's ruling reac
Frank versus State.
On motlon for a rehearing.
The motion for a new trial
contained 103 grounds. To have
discussed each of them separately
would have unduly prolonged an
opinion already necessarily of
considerable length. So likewise
to deal with each of the grounds
of thd application for a rehearing
{n detail would serve no useful
purpose. Sufhice it to say that the
matter set out in the motion for a
retiearing was not overlooked in
making the decision, but was
carefully considered and passed
upon, though all of them were not
discussed at length. \While the
difference of opinion among (ne
members of the court as to cer
tain questions, which appears
from the opinion and the dissent
ing opinion, still exists, the court
ks unanimous in overruling the
application for a rehearing.
Motion overruled,
MAROONED BY LANDSLIDE.
SANTA BARBARA, CAIL., Feb, 25—
Lady Decies, who, with Lord Decies, is
marooned here owing to a landslide
which has blocked railway traffic to
Los Angeles, gave a furtive glance ut
her husband when she expressed this
opinion regarding American girls mar
rying titled foreigners:
“I think it is wrong for American
girls to marry just for titles. However,
if true love prompts the betrothal I
can not see why there should be any
objection.”
