Way is Paved for Case of Leo Frank
The motion details how Leo M. Frank was in Fulton County Jail when the verdict was returned and the jury discharged. It asserts he did not know of the verdict, did not authorize absence of his counsel, and was denied constitutional rights. Attorneys Arnold and Rosser claim they did not consent to their own or Frank’s absence and explain the judge urged their agreement for safety. The motion argues the case is Frank’s, but the defense bears no responsibility for the agreement and that Frank seeks lawful correction of a wrong. Bates’ report on detective Burns’ findings was promised before next Wednesday, with Burns expected back soon. Solicitor Dorsey returned to Atlanta from Valdosta. his office was represented by E. A.
