Monday, 30th November 1914: No Delay Expected In Leo Frank Case, The Atlanta Constitution

Remittitur Will Probably Be Sent Down Either Today or Tomorrow.

The Supreme Court remittitur in the Leo Frank case is expected to be sent down to the Superior Court late this afternoon or early tomorrow morning. Contrary to the report that the illness of Judge Hill will likely delay the resentencing of the doomed man, it was stated at the Courthouse that either Judge Bell or Judge Pendleton would be called upon in the absence of Judge Hill and that there would be no delay.

Following the receipt of the remittitur, Frank will be removed from the Tower on a Writ of Habeas Corpus and will be carried before either of the Superior Court Judges within the next twenty-four hours for a new execution date.

In the meantime, representatives of his defense are busy in Washington preparing their plea to be submitted before the remaining Justices of the United States Supreme Court. It is expected that they will take action today.
