Hon. L. S. Roan, Judge of the Stone Mountain circuit,
Presiding in the Superior Court, Criminal Division:-
The petition of Hugh M. Dorsey, Solicitor General of
the Atlanta circuit, respectfully shows:-

On May 29, 1913, this court, upon petition of the above named
Solicitor General, the State vs. Leo M. Frank,
said James Connelly be held as a material witness for the State, and that said James Connelly would
probably not be forthcoming to respond to a subpoena in said case,
ordered said James Connelly be taken into custody and confined in the county
jail and subsequently upon petitioner's request made at said time,
said James Connelly was delivered to the Chief of Police of the City of Atlanta,
was allowed by the police authorities of said city.
Petitioner is satisfied that the necessity for holding said
James Connelly under the orders heretofore granted no longer exists.

Wherefore, petitioner prays that the orders heretofore granted
in said case be revoked, and that said James Connelly be discharged
from custody under said orders. (signed) Hugh M. Dorsey,
Solicitor, Atlanta Circuit.
