If the case is reopened by a new trial, tne 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 thf- mystery, except that only three de tectives are working on the case no* They are Bass Rosser. J. N. Starne: and Patrick Campbell. Frank Aida 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 have received before Prank was condemned to death. It is regarded as likely that Dorsey will have a number of new witnesses if another trial Is grantei 'he convicted man. Frank, apparently as cheerful an optimistic as he was before the twelv* jurors voted him to hang, is asslstii his attorneys in picking out what considers the weak points of Solid; Dorsey’s case against him. Witn mass of clippings and court tr;i scriptions before him, he is boin:. 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 » sieve.” The prisoner is being made com fortable at the Tower during iho period that he is awaiting final dispo 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 wife and his mother visited him during the afternoon, hi.s wife remaining until nightfall. His mother will return to Brooklyn withiu 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 • n indictment against Conley as ac cessory after the fact w’ill 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 wors 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, \vho 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 thp broad-brimmed black hat which was familiar to courtroom at tendants during the trial. The prisoner’s father-in-law, Rmil Sellg, 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 end very much engrossed in the state ment upon which he is working. Discharges Jury Which Tried to Indict Conley. The Grand Jtir which took up the question of indict ng Jim Conley, ac cuser of Leo Frank, over the protest of Solicitor Dorsey, will be discharged Friday by Judge George L. Bell, of the Superior Court. A new Grand Jury will be sworn in next Tuesday. It is significant that the Grand Jury which sought to Indict Jim Conley will not have the opportunity to in dict him as an acknowledged acces sory after the fact in the murder ot Mary Phagan. Judge Bell is expected to return Thursday while his colleagues, Judge Pendleton and Judge Ellis, will return in time for the new term which be gins next Tuesday. Sheriff Denies Frank Is Favored Prisoner.
