The State insists that no case does not constitute an extraordinary situation such as is contemplated shall exist before the Court shall set aside a solemn verdict rendered unanimously by a jury of twelve, where the verdict is approved by the trial judge and affirmed by the Supreme Court.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Also with reference to Ground 9, the State respectfully refers the Court to the affidavit of Mrs. Carrie Smith, and the affidavit of Mrs. Nash, nee Griffin, flled with reference to Ground 8.With reference to this Ground 9, as is insisted by the State with reference to all of the grounds contained in this motion, it is submitted that the same does not present extraordinary situations such as are contemplated by the law, and could not possibly, in any view of the case, be reasonably expected to produce a different result to that which

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Answering Ground 9 of the so-called extraordinary motion of thedefendant, Leo M. Frank, the State submits, as a full and completerefutation to the said ground, even if it were otherwise sufficientin law to warrant the setting aside of the verdict of guilty, as ren-dered, the affidavit of Miss Ruth Robertson, a copy of which isannexed hereto annexed. This said affidavit is supported by theaffidavit of her father, W. T. Robertson, a copy of which is

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The State, answering Ground 8, submits that, under the law, the fact that Dewey Hewell has changed, if such be the fact, her evidence as given on the trial of Leo M. Frank, would not be a ground for granting this extraordinary motion. In addition to the evidence given by Dewey Hewell, showing that Leo M. Frank personally knew Mary Phagan, the deceased, the State introduces the evidence of J. M. Gantt, book-keeper, who swore that Leo M. Frank remarked to him that he seemed to know Mary pretty well. The State also introduced

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The State submits, with reference to Ground 7, that the same is wholly insufficient; the evidence set out as having been given by Mrs. Ethel Harris Miller and MR. L. LEPOFF being merely cumulative evidence; the question of alibi having been mainly relied upon by the defendant, Leo M. Frank, in the trial in which he was convicted of the offense of murder.The State is informed and believes that these witnesses are non-residents of the City of Atlanta, and nothing is known as to their character, reputation, standing, associations or connections.The State is informed

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: 6. Referring to ground 6 with reference to the newly discovered evidence of Mrs. J. B. Simmons, the State shows, that this constitutes no satisfactory ground for a new trial, because first, this evidence could not have been produced and would not have been produced a different result in view of the overwhelming and preponderance of the evidence that this girl was dead not later than one-thirty o'clock, and could not have screamed at the time and place referred to by Mrs. Simmons. Second, the said Mrs. Simmons is shown by the following affidavits

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The State submits that Albert McKnight has told the absolute truth, and that no new trial could possibly, under the rules of law as laid down by the Courts, be granted under the showing made in ground 5 of this motion. The State submits that Albert McKnight could not truthfully change the evidence given on the trial, and would not do so, and that he never would have made the false affidavit referred to in ground 5 except for the improper influences shown to have been exerted on him by agents and representatives of

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Also the State submits as a complete answer, the affidavit ofAngus Morrison, andAlso affidavit of R. L. Craven.Also the State submits affidavit of H. B. Pickett.Also the State submits the affidavit of W. W. Boyd taken onApril 22nd, 1914.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: 5. Replying to paragraph 5 of the extraordinary motion, the State, for answer, submits the following as being a complete answer and reason why no extraordinary motion under the law should be granted on this ground, The State herewith sets out an affidavit obtained of Albert McKnight on the 21st day of April, 1914, and also one obtained on the 16th day of April, 1914, which are as follows:

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: GROUND 4.With reference to this GROUND, the same objection is urged against the granting of a new trial, as heretofore referred to.We submit that if a verdict rendered after a trial lasting approximately thirty days, where evidence was introduced covering, as shown by the stenographer's report, seven large volumes, and 3,647 pages of legal cap paper, a voluminous record, can be upset, - where the same has been rendered by a unanimous verdict of the jury, as shown by the affidavits from all of the jurors as attached to the motion for a new

The statements with reference to diligence in respect to this subject matter, as set forth in response to Grounds 1 and 2 in this answer, are also likewise applicable to Ground 3.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: For one illustration of such a statement on the part of Frank's attorney aforesaid, see p. 2932 of the stenographer's report of the evidence, where he said: I have asked Miss White, a witness for the defendant, whether, inasmuch as you worked on that floor, I am going to ask you a question.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The said Harris was sworn, as the record shows, long after counsel for the defense had cross-examined Miss Grace Hicks, as shown by the record, and the State submits that the record itself shows that counsel for the defense are shown by this record to have been lacking in diligence in reference to the subject matter involved in Ground 1.GROUND 2.The State contends that the record of questions and answers given under Ground 1 and the other evidence contained in the brief of evidence approved by the court when the motion for a new
