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.
