Solicitor Dorsey Will Enter Demurrer to Motion to Reverse Verdict, It Is Stated.

The stage has been set for the Frank Case motion to upset the verdict of guilty, which will commence this morning at 10 o'clock before Judge Ben Hill in the Capitol. Solicitor Dorsey has announced that the State's Case is in readiness, and that there are no prospects for further continuance of the long-delayed battle.

It is stated that Solicitor Dorsey will demur to the Motion to reverse the verdict. In this event, arguments will be necessary before any further action can be taken. A big battle will be waged by both the prosecution and defense.

The motion was presented by John L. Tye, one of the law firm of Tye, Peeples & Jordan, and requests that the verdict of guilty be set aside because Frank was not present when the verdict was read.

Should Judge Hill deny the Motion, it will be carried to the Supreme Court, and in Case of failure in that Tribunal, a fight will be made in the United States Supreme Court.
