Frank Case Taken Under Advisement
The hearing on Leo M. Frank's plea for commutation of his death sentence was closed before Governor Slaton, who took the case under advisement and will announce a decision as soon as possible. William Howard argued for Frank, claiming that removing Solicitor Dorsey's testimony about Jim Conley would leave no sufficient evidence to convict. Howard said the so called murder notes tied Conley to the crime via the yellow paper and claimed the evidence showed the note origin in the basement of the pencil factory, with 1909 dating, while Phagan was killed in 1913.
