Fulton County Jail upon petition of Solicitor Hugh H. Dorsey:
"The State,
vs,
Leo M. Frank, ) No.
) In Fulton Superior Court, May Term, 1913.
) Indictment for Murder.

The petition of Hugh H. Dorsey, Solicitor General of the
Atlanta Circuit, including Fulton County, respectfully shows:

1.-
James Connelly is a material witness for the state in the
above stated case.

2.-
Petitioner is apprehensive that said Connelly may not be
forthcoming as a witness at the trial of the above named defendant,
unless detained in custody.

3.-
Said Connelly has been detained since May 1st, 1913, by the
police authorities of the City of Atlanta, and is now in the
custody of said officers, being detained by them as a witness.
Since said Connelly was taken into custody by said officers, Leo
M. Frank has been indicted on a charge of murder.

4.-
Petitioner represents that the testimony of said Jim Connelly
may be, and likely will be very material in said cause.

Wherefore, petitioner prays that said James Connelly be
committed to the jail of Fulton County, Georgia, there to be de-
tained as a witness until said case above stated shall be termin-
ated, or until said Connelly shall be otherwise released by proper
order of court.
This May 29, 1913.
(signed) Hugh H. Dorsey,
Sol. Gen. Atlanta Cir. Court.

Georgia, Fulton County.
Comes now Hugh M. Dorsey, who being duly sworn, deposes and says
the allegations in the above petition are true so far as they
come within his knowledge, and so far as derived from the information
of others he believes them to be true.
