The dog was a shaggy brown mon grel that had been made a great pet by the four Parker children. It first developed symptoms of rabies Friday afternoon. A Tech High School stu dent was passing the house when the dog suddenly ran out of the yard snapping and snarling and bit the young man. The student kicked the dog away and walked on. In the evening Glenn Parker, aged 15 years, and Tom Rutherford, 12, who is rooming at the Parker home with his sister. Miss Ethel Rutherford, went to Sharp’s Drug Store at Marietta and Walton streets. The dog followed them and on the way began to run at pedes trians, snapping and growling at j them. When the animal bit a man and a boy who were walking together, young I Parker and Rutherford became ! alarmed and took the dog back home i with them and locked him in the back yard inclosure. Just as Mr*. Parker was feeding the chickens Saturday ' morning the dog leaped the barrier | and made for her. Barricaded the House. Terror-stricken, she rushed into vhe house and, with Miss Rutherford, bar ricaded the place against the mad- ! dened animal and warned her four j children not to go out of doors. From . the windows they could see the dog j racing among the frightened chick- ! ens, chasing tiiem about the yard and j biting them ui every opportunity, j Seizing one of the larger hens, the dog shook it until It was dead. The police department was notified and Call Officer Arnold hastened to the Parker home on his motorcycle. He found the house closed and barred. As he was knocking on the door the dog, noticing the visitor, ceased his attack on the poultry and rushed for Arnold. Policeman Is Bitten. Before the policeman could protect himself, the dog had sunk his fangs repeatedly in Arnold’s leg. Arnold finally was able to kick the dog off so that he could get a shot at him 1 with his revolver. Not until he had fired five bullets into the animal’s body did the dog give up. Inside the house, the women and the five children listened panic- ; stricken to the fusilade of shots, and the neighbors ran to their doors and windows to see what was happen- j ing. The hospital authorities advise the three unidentified persons who w*ere | bitten to begin treatment at once in order to avoid serious consequences.

That Leo Frank’s lawyers are engaged in a “post-mortem” at tempt to obtain a new trial for their client is the charge repeat edly made in the brief and ar gument completed Saturday by Solicitor General Hugh M. Dor sey and served upon the attor- ; neys for the defense. Some of the grounds for a new trial j advanced by the defense Dorsey 1 characterizes as "hodgepodge and catch all,” and ridicules the asser tions that Frank was tried by a mob rather than by a judge and Jury. The opposing attorneys will begin their verbal argument before the Su preme Court on Monday at 9 o’clock. The first request to be made of the court will be for an extension of time. Two hours customarily is given to each side, but owing to the import ance of the case, it is likely that two days or more will be asked for the arguments “Catching at Technicality.” The Solicitor, in referring to the defense’s claims that demonstrations on the part of the crowd were suffi cient to influence and Intimidate the jury. Implied that Frank’s lawyers throughout the trial were laying the groundwork for a plea on which tr> ask for a new trial, catching at every technicality that presented Itself. The Solicitor said: "The request of counsel to clear the courtroom of spectators before anything was done in the trial, show ed. in the connections now being con sidered. that they were anticipating laying hold of all such little inconse quentlal occurrences and technicali ties that could be discovered. "They can not complain, beoauaa they failel to ask any affirmative re lief. so far as this record shows. They say in this ground that they called attention of the court for the pur pose of ‘obtaining some action.’ In the next paragraph they show that they got from the court some ac tion. and the epurt never had any in timation that tihe action he gave waa not commensurate with the require ments of the situation. Too Late With Complaint. ' This is simply another ‘post-mor tem attempt to get another trial,’ to use an expression of Judge Russell.” Continuing, Solicitor Dorsey ar gued: # "We submit that there wa* nothing of sufficient importance or conse quence requiring the court to take any radical steps, and that the fail ure of the defendant’s attorneys at the time to request, or suggest, or intimate to the court that something or other should be done estops them now from complaining.” The Solicitor charged that Frank’s lawyers had magnified these occur rences far beyond their real impor tance and argued that the fact that Judge Roan overruled the motion for a new trial showed conclusively from a legal standpoint that he did not at tach any importance to the demon strations. Stress was laid on the af fidavit* of the Jurors that they did not hear the demonstrations refer*** to by the defense. Upholds Conley Evidence. Several pages of the brief are over to a contention on the adml**^ bility of Jim Conlev’s testimony cm the alleged perversion of Frank, Tb* Solicitor remained firm in his staoo that no error was committed tn *1 lowing this testimony in the record. He insisted r hat the court* of Amer ica are permitting much greater lat itude in evidence of this sort thar ever before, widening and extending the rule in this respect, appreciating that it is neccssarv in order V* at the trutn.
