### Several Women Among Them, and Agents in San Francisco Cases, Say City Detectives
Solicitor General Dorsey, aided by William M. Smith, attorney for Jim Conley, and a corps of detectives, continued Monday the work of securing affidavits, which will be used to combat the new evidence introduced by the defense of Leo M. Frank at the hearing of his extraordinary motion for a new trial.
The solicitor has practically completed his counter showing at this time, and unless something new develops, will be ready for the hearing to proceed next Friday.
The city detectives on the case are watching with interest the activities of the agents of William J. Burns. They say that Burns now has twenty people in the city at work on the case. Among them are several women, it is said. Several of the agents here are the same people who assisted Burns in his work on his famous San Francisco cases.
