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.
