& Dunbar announces that be will
bring action before Judge Henry C.

vote was taken at 6:15 o’clock after
a night of acrimonious debate.
Wall street has claimed many vic
tims, both high and low. but few
cases have afforded a more pathetic
spectacle than that of Governor Sul
zer, standing alone after having
fought his way up the political lad

of grueling battle.

the Frawley legislative committee,
which showed that Governor Sulzer
had used money contributed to his
campaign for stock speculation. Mrs.
Sulzer, was prepared to go upon the
stand to testify that she Indorsed he/*
husband’s name to checks without his
knowledge and used them for stock
purchases. Even this noble wifely

Both Mr. Stovall and Mr. Sheppard
made strenuous efforts to get the
floor immediately after the passage
of the bill with a motion to reconsid
er, but were ruled out of order at
their first attempt by Speaker Bur-
well. Then Ed Wohlwender, of Mus
cogee. stepped into the breach with
one of his filibusters, and their op
portunity was gone. They have served
notice on the House, however, that
they will make a motion to reconsid
er at the earliest possible opportunity
Friends of the measure, however,
who passed it after one of the most
spectacular fights in the history of
Georgia, declare that they have no
fear that the efforts of Mr. Sheppard

by the approbation of Governor Sla

test had been made to prove Conley’s story an impossibility had
been kept a well guarded secret.
Dr. Owens was one of the first witnesses called Wednesday and
the htree men who helped him re-enact the tragdy wre to follow
him.
A man named Brent took the
part of Conley in the strange
rehearsal and William A. Flem
ing took the part Conley said
Frank enacted. Dr. Owens and
a man named Wilson acted as
timekeepers.
It took them eighteen minutes and
a half to re-enact the bare details of
the disposition of the body. To this,
the defense will explain, must be add

State to Call
More Witnesses.
In anticipation of the close of the
defense’s case, the State Tuesday aft -
ernoon subpoenaed a number of new
witnesses to be called in the event
that Franks character was put in
issue. It was said that Solicitor Dor
sey had prepared against this move
by the defense by getting affidavits
from many persons who claimed to
know the defendant.
An effort by the State to obtain
testimony reflecting on the morality
of Frank was resisted syoagly by
