News reached Atlanta yesterday of Justice Lamar's approval of the Bond put up by Leo M. Frank for the appearance of his Counsel in the Supreme Court for the Hearing of his appeal on the Writ of Habeas Corpus denied by Federal Judge Newman. This action by Justice Lamar completes the formality of the Appeal. The Bond assures Payment of Costs in event the Defendant loses.
The next step will be the docketing of the Appeal. This will be done as soon as the clerk of the District Court of Atlanta Division certifies to the Record of the Appeal. The State cannot request an advancement on the Docket, until the formality has taken place.
