Cite Appellate Decision Where New Trial Was Granted on Similar Evidence. 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 filed by the convicted man’s lawyers. A curious coincidence is that Judge L. S. Roan, w ho overruled the ground in his refusal to grant Frank a new trial, is tiie judge who, in his new’ ca pacity as a justice 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. S. Lansdell in her suit for damages because of the killing of her husband by a street car. Judge Roan held, with the 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 where 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 which they had alleged error and asked for a ne\V 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 Leach, 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 of time the day she was murdered; that he 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. MOVING PICTURE SHOWS VAUDETTE Home of Mutual Movies.
