Solicitor Prepares to Battle Ap
peal of Doomed Man for
a New Trial.
Continued from Page 1.
a'hs said to be damaging to the su
perintendent.
If the case is reopened by a new
trial, the Solicitor proposes to have
the strands of evidence even more
strongly woven than they were at the
first trial. The Investigation is con
tinuing with almost the same vigor
that it did in the early days of th-
mystery, except that only three de
tectives are working on the case now.
They are Bass Rosser J. N. Starnes
and Patrick Campbell.
Frank Aid* Counsel.
Whenever a report comes to the
Solicitor’s office of any new evidence
it is investigated by the detectives
with the same care as it would hav^
received before Frank was condemned
to death. It is regarded as likely thai
Dorsey will have a number of new
■ ’witnesses if another trial is granted
the convicted man.
Frank, apparently as cheerful an 1
optimistic as he was before the twelve
Jurors voted him to hang, is assisting
his attorneys in picking out what he
considers ihe weak points of Solicitor
Dorsey’s case against him. With a
mas«i of clippings and court tran
scriptions before him. he is boiling
down the most Important testimony
of the trial and noting the various
phases of the investigation as It pro
gressed Incidentally, he is preparing
a statement in reply to the closing
argument of the Solicitor which he
has described as “as full of holes as h.
sieve.”
The prisoner is being made com
fortable at the Tower during the
period that he is awaiting final dlspv - i
sition of his case. A new' bed and
some other furnishings were brought
there, and Franks quarters were
thoroughly cleaned and renovated.
The prisoner’s wdfe and his mother j
visited him during the afternoon, his
wife remaining until nightfall. His
mother will return to Brooklyn within
a short time, but probably will be
back in Atlanta when the arguments
for a new trial are made October 4.
Solicitor Dorsey has no doubt that
an indictment against Conley as ac
cessory after the fact will be returned
by the next Grand Jury. The indict
ment will be the first thing that will
be brought to the attention of the
Grand Jury when it meets the first
week in Sepember.
Frank Works on Statement.
' Frank continued Thursday to work
on the statement which he Intends as
an answer to Solicitor Dorsey’s clos
ing speech before the jury. He also
received many visitors, among them
his mother, Mrs. Rea Frank, who will
leave shortly for her home in Brook
lyn.
Mrs. Frank’s bearing showed no
traces of the effect which the death
sentence imposed upon her son must
have had. She was dressed in a
white shirtwaist and black skirt,
with the broad-brimmed black hat
which was familiar to courtroom at
tendants during the trial.
The prisoner’s father-in-law, Emil
Selig. joined him at breakfast and re
mained for two hours. Frank’s wdfe
did not visit her husband during the
morning.
Friends reported the convicted su
perintendent as being irf good spirits
and very much engrossed in the state
ment upon which he is working.
Discharges Jury Which
Tried to Indict Conley.
The Grand Jur which took up the '
question of indict ng Jim Conley, ac-I
buser of Leo Frank over the protest
. of Solicitor Dorsey, will be discharge !
Friday by Judge George L. Bell, of
the Superior Court. A new Grand
Jury wiil be sworn in next Tuesday.
It is significant that the Grand Jurv
which sought to indict Jim Conlev
will not have the opportunity to in-
. diet him as an acknowledged acces
sory after the fact the murder of
Mary Phagan.
Judge Bell is expected to return
Thursday while his colleagues. Judge
Pendleton and Judge Eilis. will re 4 urn
in time for the new term which be
gins next Tuesday.
Sheriff Denies Frank
Is Favored Prisoner.
Denying vigorously that the floor*
i f Leo Frank’s cell were being oiled
and varnished. Sheriff Mangum
Thursday morning declared he wa.s
treating Frank just like any other
1 rlsoru r.
•It is folly to talk about Frank’s
i 11 being oiled,” said the Sheriff. |
“when the floor of the cell Is made of |
concrete.
“I am treating Frank just like any
other prisoner. Certainly ni one can
blame me for allowing him to eat
food that is sent to him by his rela
tives and friends—and that is the only-
difference in treatment.”
Here’s a ‘Black Hope:'

Fifteen Hundred Eighty-seven (1587)Waists, :
including every $1 waist in stock, to go at . .
A store must plan ahead. Septem- ^
her 1st marks the start of fall business. Sum-
mer waists, therefore, should not be here.
True, these particular waists are pretty and 3F
practical styles for early fall. True, many le
women would buy them throughout Septem- 5;
her at full prices. True, too, however, that
these waists conflict with our store plans.
Bought to sell before August Gist, they now
pay the penalty for having lingered.
Every $1 Waist in Stock
Goes at 69c
as well as about a hundred waists
formerly selling at $1.25 and $1.50. Fp-
wards of a score of styles in all, in
charming white voiles and lingeries.
There are waists with high or low necks;
long, three-quarter or short sleeves.
Waists that button down the back;
waists that open in front. Plainly trim
med waists; and waists elaborately em
bellished with laces and embroideries. More than a thousand and five hundred waists in
all, including about every style “good” this sfeason. All sizes. The values are EX
TRAORDINARY—see the window for proof. Buy enough waists for the rest of the sum-
mer and fall. Because standard $1 waists come but seldom at 69c
