The Atlanta Constitution,

Tuesday, 13th October 1914,

PAGE 3, COLUMN 3.

In order that Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey may prepare to combat the move of Leo M. Frank's attorneys to upset the verdict of guilty on constitutional grounds, Judge Hill on Monday adjourned his Division of Superior Court for this week. The arguments over the motion for Frank come up in the Supreme Court on October 26. This will make the third time the noted case has been in the State's highest tribunal; having gone up twice before on motions for new trial on grounds of new evidence.

Decision is pending on the second motion the extraordinary plea on newly discovered evidence and a decision is pending. In event the Supreme Court turns down the third plea, it will be carried to the United States Supreme Court in Washington.
