Solicitor Prepares to Battle Ap
peal of Doomed Man for
a New Trial.
Continued from Pago 1.
was said to be damaging to the su
perintendent.
If the ease Is reopened by a new
trial, the Solicitor proposes tofhave
the strands of evidence even more
strongly woven than they wore 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
tective are working on the case now.
They are Bass Rosser. J. N. Starnee
and Patrick Campbell.
Frank Aids 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 grantee
the convicted man.
Frank, apparently as cheerful an
optimistic as he was before the twelve
Jurors voted him to hang, is assisting
his attorneys in picking out what h»
considers the weak points of Solicitor
Dorsey’s case against him. With a
mass of clippings and court tran
scriptions before him. he is boiling
dov n '_he 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
ha-: described as “as fuli of holes as
siyve.”
The prisoner is being made coni
fer! able at the Tower during to*
period that he is awaiting final dispo
sition of his case. A new bed and
some other furnishings were brougrv
til ere. and Frank s quarters were
thoroughly cleaned and renovated.
The pr’soner’s wife and his mother
viuited him during the afternoon, his
wit'e remaining until nightfall. His
mother will return to Brooklyn within
a short time, but probably will be
back in Atlanta when tne 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 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 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.
Discharges Jury Which
Trisd to Indict Conley.
The Grand Jur wrhich 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 GranJ ;
Jury will be sworn in next'Tuesday, j
It is significant that the*Grand Jurv
which sought to indict Jim Conley
will not have the opportunity to in-
vdict him as an acknowledged acces
sory after the fact in the murder of
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.
Denying vigorously that the floors
of Leo Frank's cell were being oiled
and varnished, Sheriff Mangum
Thursday morning declared he was
treating Frank Just like any other
1 rlson< r.
"It is folly to talk about Frank's
cell 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 nl 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.”
