to be absent when his conviction was
announced inwourt on August 25, 1913.
Argument on the annulment motion
was set for April 22, this action au
tomatically staying lho prisoner's exe
cution, set for noon tomorrow.
Immediately after the annulment
motion was read In court, attorneys
jfor Frank filed an extraordinary mo
tihfrr for a new trial on ground of
newly discovered evidence. Argument
j bn this motion, a copy of which was
I made public on March 27. when no
tice that it would be filed today was
served on the court, was also set for
Apt}] 22.
Either of Two.
Either of the two motions filed to
day'.would • have stayed execution of
the ' young factory superintendent's
sentence. The action to secure a new
trial on newly discovered evidence
was lied by attorneys who have been
in charge of Frank's defense since
b!s arrest nearly a year ago, and they
declared they had no knowledge of
the intentions of the law firm which
filed the motion for annulment.
Many affidavits are attached to the
motion for an extraordinary trial.
Several witnesses at Frank’s trial de
clare their testimony against his char
acter false and others charge conspir
acy against him. Three affiants at
tempt to establish an alibi for the
condemned man.
18 Second Stay.
The theory of the state as to the
time and place the little factory girl
was killed is also attacked Documen
tary evidence and affidavits seek to
disprove the testimony of James Con
ley, negro factory sweeper, who swore
he helped Frank conceal Mary Pha
gan's body In the basement of the
National Pencil Company’s plant after
Frank had killed her.
The stay of execution granted today
is the second since Frank was sen
tenced to death. October 10 first was
set for his hanging hut a motion for
a new trial intervened. Judge Roan
denied this motion on October 31 and
was confirmed by the supreme court
on Feb. 17. The prisoner was re-sen
tenced on March 7, and his execution
set for April 17.

LIFE SENTENCE
Mrs. Oodbee Refused New
vTrial By Georgia Supreme
Court. Judge Hammond's
Ruling Upheld. #
Atlanta, Qa. —The supreme court on
Wednesday handed down a decision
denying a new trial to Mr*. Edna God
bee. who. on August lstli, shut down
and killed her divorced husband and III*
wife on the street* yif Milieu This
meuns that Mrs. Godbee must serve a
life term In the penitentiary.
The bill of exceptions wax a lengthy
one. it was averred that Judge Ham
mond erred when he declined to grant a
continuance of the trial. Defense had
Minwrn that (he altorneya for Mr*.
Godbee could not reach Milieu In lime lo
secure certain additional evidence. It
was further alleged that A. L. Franklin
solicitor of the Augusta circuit, should
have tried the case instead of It. Leo
Moose, solicitor general of the middle
Georgia circuit. Solicitor Moore served
under an act of 1913 which transferred
Jenkins county from the middle Georgia
to the Augusts circuit. The drfenss
claimed that the clause violated the
State Constitution which stipulates that
there shall be a solicitor general In each
judicial circuit.
The surweme court upholds the ruling
of Judge Hammond and stales that the
duties of solicitor were legally dis
charged by Mr. Moore.
CONVINCED THAT U. S.

YIELDS TO PRESSURE

and saluted the American flag some of |
the ships now under way might be
turned buck but certainly not before. !
It was pointed out that all adminis
tration officials were gratified by tin
news that Huerta was about to yield
blit thote was no disposition to tem
porize dr delay further and that all
the plans for action would continue,
effective until all cause* for action had
been removed.
Has Yielded.
Other dispatches from Charge
O'Hlmughnessy were expedited today
hut both President Wilson and Secre
tary Bryan were convinced by the dis
patches already ut hand that llpcrta
had yielded t<> the pressure from
Washington and the dispatch of the
fleet on both coasts to back up the
demands.
Diplomatic representatives in Mex
ico City under orders from their home
foreign offices, anxious to avert a
break, had pressed Huerta to yield
and Mexicans in tho United States
had advised him that to apologize
would be tho best thing for Mexico.
Spreads Quickly.
YVord of the promised rift in the
storm clouds spread quickly to the
capital, where the house foreign as
fairs committee had just adopted a
resolution sustaining President Wil
son in Ills attitude. The resolution
will not he taken before the house
unless the crisis should not clear up
finally and Mr. Wilson should find ij.
necessary to lay tile situation before
congress.
In tlie senate and house generally
there was a mingled feeling ot gratifi
cation and relief.
Not Too Sanguine.
Some officials, because of their lung
familiarity with the evasiveness of
Huerta, were ont inclined to he too
sanguine over Ihe dispatches from
Charge O’Sliauglinessy. Privately they
said they would be convinced when
the salute actually was fired, Others
who knew of the great pressure
brought upon Huerta did not ques
tion that he had seen the wisdom of
yielding.
- Those officials who know the lan
guage of the communication Charge
O’Shaughnessy lias been presenting
were sure Huerta had been convinced
tTrat if he did not yield the American
government would compel him to do
so by force.
Not Bluffing.
The last vestige of any suspicion
he may have had that the United
States was bluffing was said to have
been removed by messages from his
representatives In Washington telling
him that President Wilson was thor
oughly aroused and meant to force
the issue to the end.
It became known that Huerta had
been led to believe that Ills own state
ment of apology last. Saturday was
ample redress but when President
Wilson was apprised of the situation
he was not satisfied and demanded a
salute. •
Under all the circumstances, offi
cials Interpreted today’s latest dis
patches as the forerunners of a com
plete settlement of the question.
