Supreme Court Hears Frank Trial Fairness Question
Washington February 25 Leo M Frank the Atlanta factory superintendent convicted of the Mary Phagan murder faces a key issue before the Supreme Court. Does denial of his presence at trial violate constitutional rights and jeopardize the verdict, potentially prompting a new trial or resentencing if habeas corpus is upheld. Louis Marshall argues the right to be heard includes presence at final trial stages. Georgia officials and defense counsel await further sessions and rulings on whether a new indictment or retrial will follow.
