Operations of Detective Burke and Wrenn Will Be Investigated. The Fulton grand jury will this week resume its investigation into the Frank Case and is expected to probe into the alleged irregular Operations of Detective C. W.

It was announced yesterday that within the next two or three days, Attorney William M. Smith will file his application for a new trial for Jim Conley, the convicted Negro accomplice. Work is progressing on the motion, and it is expected to be finished by tomorrow.

Conley's counsel expressed confidence that a new trial would be gained. Although refusing to divulge any of them, he stated that there were forty grounds contained in the application.
