Wednesday, 2nd December 1914: Resentencing Of Frank Is Expected Next Week, The Atlanta Journal

Action May Be Delayed Until Judge Hill Is Able to Preside

With the remittitur confirming the Superior Court's refusal to set aside the verdict of guilty against Leo M. Frank received in the clerk's office Wednesday morning, further action toward resentencing Frank will probably be delayed until next week, when Judge Ben H. Hill is expected to be well enough to preside. It is also expected that the order making the judgment of the Supreme Court the judgement of the Fulton Superior Court will not be issued by a Superior Court judge except Judge Hill, before whom several phases of the Frank Case were tried.

Solicitor Dorsey said no action would be taken Wednesday, and that the resentencing would probably be delayed until Judge Hill could preside. A Writ of Habeas Corpus to remove Frank from the Custody of the Sheriff of Fulton County and take him to Court to be resentenced has already been issued.

Mr. Frank and Mrs. Tea Frank, of Brooklyn, N. Y., parents of the convicted man, are in Atlanta to be with their son. This is their first appearance here since the original trial of the Case.
