Supreme Court j Washington, April 19.— The Supreme Court of the United States to-day held j that the State of Georgia denied Leo j M. Frank no right under the Federal j Constitution in sentencing him to death for the murder of Mary Phagan. The | court affirmed the action of the Feder- j si Court of the Northern District of Georgia, which refused to release j Frank on a writ of habeas corpus. Justice Holmes delivered a dissenting opinion, in which Justice Hughes eon- ' curred. I It is believed here that the decision to day exhausts all means of eouu fighting to save Frank’s life. His at torneys will have thirty days in which to file application for a rehearing. Thereafter the prisoner's only hope, apparently, is in the possibility ol ex ecutive clemency. The majority of the court held that the findings by the Georgia Supreme Court, that the alleged "mob domi nance" amounted to nothing more than irregularities slid were not prejudicial to Frank, should not be disturbed upon the prisoner’s mere assertion mat they were otherwise ihhn found.
