Roan, presiding judge in the famous Frank trial, Friday found himRelf between two raking fires of criticism. The bombardment was opened by the defense in the great legal battle. Weak and vacillating in his conduct of the case, disposed to shirk his duty as a judge, un able to rule his court with a firm and just hand—these are the charges hurled at him in the brief and argument of (lie defense law yers. If tlie judge fancied he wag to es cape with this, lie was mistaken. He was yet to receive a broadside from the State’s attorneys. When the brief of Solicitor Dorsey was made public Friday it was found to contain a se vere attack on Roan’s action in ex pressing his doubt of Frank's guilt and incorporating it in the bill of ex ceptions that went up to the Supreme Court. Tliis procedure was wholly gratui tous and uncalled for. the Solicitor General intimated. “Dangerous,” Adds Solicitor. It was worse than this; it was un usual and dangerously unprecedent ed. Here is what Mr. Dorsey had to sa\* about it: “It is unusual, and, far as wei know, unprecedented for a court to incorporate a statement similar to this in a bill of exceptions. “It is not the office or function of a, bill of exceptions to carry the views, of a judge, as such, or his private views*, nor is it a vehicle for carrying the mental processes by which th« court below reached its conclusions. We submit that it would be as dan gerous a precedent to permit a judgo to Impeach the integrity of his official finding after the judgment is con cluded, as it would be to permit th* Juror, after having been discharged from consideration of the case, to im^ peach his own verdict.” Solicitor Dorsey, however, was noft disposed to give Judge Roan's ex* pression of opinion as much legal weight as the defense had attached to it. He (Hd not think that the Supreme Court should interpret it as indicate lng a firmly fixed and compelling doubt on the part of the trial judge* Arguing on this point, he said Quotes Judge’s Words. Judge Roan stated, according i-i the bill of exceptions, that Tie ha.% thought more about this case thart any other he ever tried. * * * It* was not thoroughly satisfied tha^ Frank was guilty or Innocent.’ Th!4 Continued on Page 8, Column 1.
