Greek Crown Prince
To Cruise to America
A case in which a new trial was
granted by the Georgia Court of Ap
peals on a ground appearing to be
Identical or similar to one advanced
by the lawyers for Leo M. Frank in
their contest to get him another hear
ing is mentioned in the current issue
of the Southeastern Reporter, and
will be cited in the supplemental brief
to be tiled by the convicted man’s
lawyers.
A curious coincidence is that Judge
L. S. Roan, who overruled the ground
in his refusal to grant Frank a new-
trial, is the judge who, in his new ca
pacity as a justk e on the appellate
bench, wrote this opinion that Frank’s
lawyers say is directly opposed to the
ruling he made in the Frank case.
The Rome Railway and Light Com
pany appealed from the verdict in fa
vor of Mrs. W. K. Lansdell in her suit
for damages because of the killing of
her husband by a street car.
Judge Roan held, with rhe other
members of the court, that “it was
error, requiring the granting of a new
trial, to admit evidence tending to
show- that other motormen, in charge
of other cars of the defendant, had
operated those cars at the place w here
the plaintiff’s husband was killed at
an excessive rate of speed, and on a
former occasion came very near run
ning over some children at that
place.’’
Say Cases Are Identical.
Frank's attorneys, when asked to
comment on the decision of the Court
of Appeals, said that it appeared to
be an exact illustration of one of the
important grounds on w hich they had
alleged error and asked for n new*
trial, and that Judge Roan seemed to
have changed his front, entirely since
the time he was sitting in judgment
on the arguments for a new trial for
Frank. They declared they had made
the same point in reference to the
testimony of Inspector l^each. of the
street railway company, who was per
mitted to testify, in the effort of the
prosecution to establish that the Eng
lish avenue car on which Mary Pha-
gan rode was very' likely ahead ol
time the day she was murdered; that
lie had seen street car men come in
town ahead of schedule time, that he
had seen it often, and, in fact, had
seen it only the week before.
Judge Roan admitted this testimony
over the objection of the defense that
it was immaterial, irrelevant and in
competent. In stating their grounds
for a new’ trial. Frank’s lawyers main
tained that Judge Roan had erred,
and that testimony prejudicial to the
defendant had been admitted because
the fact that other crews came in
ahead of time or that this particular
crew came in ahead of time at other
times was wholly immaterial to the
incidents leading up to the slaying of
Mary Phagan. They were overruled.
