Solicitor and His
Assistant Will
Devote Rest of Week to
Leo M. Frank Case.
Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey is due to arrive at 7:35
o'clock this morning and it is said will devote the remainder of
the week to work in Atlanta on the reply to the plea of Leo M.
Frank for a new trial.
Mr. Dorsey, with E. A. Stephens, his assistant, has been in
Valdosta for over ten days studying the situation and during that
time has been in consultation with A. H. Henslee, one of the
twelve men who convicted Frank of the murder of Mary Phagan,
and who, the defense charged, had expressed bias in the matter
before he became a juror.
Various affidavits replying to the attack on Juror Henslee are
understood to be in the possession of the solicitor, who believes
that Frank is not entitled to a new trial and who has been
devoting many hours of the day to his reply.
Whether or not the solicitor will be ready when the motion is
called by Judge L. S. Roan at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, is yet
unknown. In Valdosta Mr. Dorsey stated that he could not say
whether or not he would be ready.
It is understood that he has some final work to carry out
following his return to Atlanta and that this will occupy him for at
least two days.
