PAGE 6, COLUMN 7.

Representatives of the Prisoner Hold Conference in Washington. The final plea for the life of Leo Frank to be made in the United States Supreme Court will be made by Louis Marshall, of New York, one of the nation's foremost constitutional Attorneys, who was employed in the Frank Case when his lawyers first went to Washington a week ago. He and Leonard Haas, who has joined Attorney Harry Alexander in Washington, were in Conference Saturday in regard to the extended appeal that the New York expert is to make to other Justices of the Federal Court. The next move will not be made until Monday.

On Monday afternoon the remittitur from the Supreme Court, which was delayed at the request of Frank's Attorneys, will be sent down to the superior court. Within the following forty-eight hours, Frank will be removed from the jail on a Writ of Habeas Corpus, and will be carried before Judge George Bell for the fixing of the date on which he is to hang.
