Judge Hill, who is ill, will likely be able to attend court Monday. With no decision on the Frank case expected from the United States Supreme Court until Monday, Solicitor Dorsey is in no hurry to have the convicted man resentenced by the Fulton Superior Court.

Thursday, Judge Hill, who had hitherto handled all phases of the case in the Superior Court since the original trial before Judge Roan, was said to be recovering from his illness sufficiently to appear and resentence Frank Monday. The remitter received Wednesday and the resentencing will both be held up at least until Monday, waiting for Judge Hill to take charge.

Leonard Haas, of counsel for Leo M. Frank, has returned to Atlanta from Washington, with Attorney Harry A. Alexander remaining there to await the decision of the Supreme Court Monday.
