Frank Loses Again Court Denies Certiorari In Writ Case
Judge Newman declines to certify probable cause for appeal in Frank’s habeas corpus case. He grants a right to appeal but refuses to issue a certificate of probable cause, noting the writ would discharge the prisoner. Frank’s attorneys receive copies of the opinion and reasons for denial for Supreme Court use, while state officials argue the petition aimed to delay execution.

Georgia case on habeas corpus appeal of Frank

Judge Newman denied a writ of habeas corpus after a Saturday hearing claiming Frank’s constitutional rights were violated by involuntary absence from the courtroom during the verdict. The argument focused on whether the judge should certify an appeal under the 1908 law requiring probable cause accompanying the federal appeal.
