Monday, 6th July 1914: Bill Of Exceptions In Frank Case Filed, The Atlanta Journal

Appeal From Motion to Set Aside Verdict to Be Heard in October

Attorneys for Leo M. Frank on Monday formally filed with the clerk of the Superior Court, the Bill of Exceptions, in the motion to set aside the verdict of the Jury on the grounds that Frank was not present when it was received. The clerk now has fifteen days in which to prepare the record and send the Case to the Supreme Court, which will review Judge Ben H. Hill's judgement in sustaining the state's demurrer to the motion.

The other Frank motion, in which he appeals for a new trial on the grounds of newly discovered evidence, is already in the Supreme Court and will probably be argued there on the third Monday in this month.
