The Atlanta Constitution,
Friday, 17th October 1913,
PAGE 2, COLUMN 1.
The proposed conference between Solicitor General Hugh M.
Dorsey and Attorney Leonard Haas, representing the defense of
Leo M. Frank, whose motion for a new hearing is expected to be
taken up next Wednesday, did not take place yesterday, due to
the late arrival from Valdosta of the record in the case.
The two attorneys are expected to meet today. There are a
number of points to be gone over, and it is expected that certain
points claimed by the state to be errors in the plea will be agreed
upon one way or the other out of court.
It is understood that the defense has practically agreed not
to protest to the postponement from Saturday morning. Solicitor
Dorsey stated when he arrived from Valdosta, where he spent the
time studying the case in quiet, that he believed he would be
ready by Tuesday or Wednesday. It is believed that the case will
come up on the latter day.
The solicitor is yet busy gathering affidavits from the Frank
jurors to the effect that they did not hear the cheering, and also
that they were not influenced in any way by the crowd. The
question was to whether or not the latter affidavits will be allowed
as part of the rebuttal is one upon which all attorneys are not
agreed.
All of the jurors who have made statements following the
sensational charges of the defense have declared that they were
not influenced by the cheering, and most of them declared that
they did not hear it or know what the noise was about.
