,.»A TTTF ATf A VT A GEORGIAN AND NKWS BELIEF FRANK MIDSUMMER DAY DREAMS CojiyTtght, 1013, lnLerntt-iooihl N*»» tier^lr#. THE COOH |$ ON 7Ht W8R PATH <y3AiN pevi JHE SAID SMt WOULD BgtAR ME. IN TWO 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.” MISS HELEN PARDEE DEAD.
