a New Trial.

" as sa 'd 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. Starne:-
und Patrick Campbell.
Frank Aids Counsel.
Whenever a report comes to the
Solicitor’s office of any new evident**

"ith the sa/ne care as it would hav*
received before Frank was condemned
to death, it is regarded as likely that
Dorsey will have a number of nev\

I'/Tank, apparently as cheerful an 1
optimistic as he was before the twelv-
Jurors voted him to hang, is assisting
liis attorneys in picking out what hi
consider** ihe weak points of Solicitor

masM of clippings and court tran

of me trial and noting the variou-*
1/ i>'* s of the Investigation as it pro
gressed Incidentally, he is preparing
« statement in reply to! the closing j
argument of the Solicitor which he
ha- described as "as full of holes as .
sieve. ’
The ; rlsoner is being made coni-
for’able at the Tower during in»
period that he is awaiting final dispo- j
sFion of h : » case. A new* bed and
s>Tn»' other furnishings were brougiv
f ere. and Franks quarters were
th roughl cleaned and renovated.

wife remaining until nightfall. His
mother will return to Brooklyn within
a »hort time, but probably will be
baou in. Atlanta when me 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
l>v 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 Sepemher.
Frank Works on Statement.
Frank continued Thursday to work
on the statement which he Intends as
an answer to Solicitor Dorsey's dos
ing speech before the jury. He also
received many visitors, among them
bis 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. Fmil
Selig, joined him at breakfast and re
mained for two hours. Frank’s wife
did not visit her husband during the
morning.
Friends reported the convicted su
perintendent as being in good spirits
and very much engrossed In the state
ment upon which he is working.
