The Solicitor has three detectives working on the case whenever ad ditional information comes to his of fice. Detectives Starnes, Campbell and Rosser have been detailed on certain angles, just as they were be fore the trial and before the State was rewarded with a conviction. Dorsey is said to have a score of new nitesses in readiness in the event, that the defense is able to get a new trial from Judge Roan or the Su preme Court. One of them is said to be a jailer who was on guard in Frank s part of the Tower during the period before the trial. Lemp Pays $100,000 Alimony in a Lump ST.
