Wednesday, 9th June 1915: Frank Decision Will Be Made Public Today, The Atlanta Constitution

When the Prison Commission Makes Report, Frank's Counsel Will Ask Hearing Soon.

The Prison Commission will make its Report to Governor Slaton on the Leo Frank Hearing this morning. This was stated by Commissioners Tuesday afternoon. No inkling of the nature of the Decision, however, would be given.

In the event the Report is made as early as this morning, Counsel for the convicted man will appear immediately before Governor Slaton and request him to give them a Hearing at 9 o'clock Thursday morning. They will present an Appeal in Frank's behalf, with possibly new Petitions and new data.

Immediately after the Commission Report comes to him, Governor Slaton will inform Mr. Dorsey, as requested by the Solicitor, and give him an opportunity to protest against the Appeal for Commutation.

Mr. Dorsey's fight against the Appeal will be one of the most interesting Phases of the Present Status of the Frank Case. He has asked Governor Slaton to permit him to present "certain Facts and matters" before him, but will not divulge the nature of any data he might possess.
