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.

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. NOT BLUFFING, HUERTA YIELDS TO PRESSURE (Continued from page one.) 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.
