The Atlanta Constitution,

Saturday, 16th January 1915,

PAGE 5, COLUMN 7.

The Leo Frank Case is now formally ready for the United States Courts in Washington. The final step in the Federal District Court of Atlanta was taken yesterday afternoon when Attorneys for the Defense filed with Clerk O. C. Fuller the Petition for an Appeal, which was certified and which was mailed last night to Washington.

Attorneys here say it will be at least sixty or ninety days before Arguments will be heard. The Record of the Case has been compiled and is ready for use. No move has yet been made by the State to advance the Case. This is expected within the next week or so.
