Will Play Leading Part
In Arguments.
DEFENSE OPPOSES DELAY
Judge Roam and Solicitor Dorsey
Also Urge Haste-State Has
Big Task.

The way was cleared Saturday for
the actual beginning of the fight over
the motion to give Leo NJ. Frank. con-
victed of the murder of Mary Phagan.
new trial. The battle will open
before Judge Roam Wednesday with
both sides primed for a vigorous con-
test in which charges against Jurors
accused of bias will play large part.
The defense, headed by Luther T.
Rosser. relies in large part on the evil
dence showing that Juror A. H. Hen
slee expressed violent animus to
Frank before the trial opened, win
ming a new trial for the prisoner.
Scores of afiidavits will be introduced
to uphold the character of the wit
nesses who swear that Henslee said
he was sure Frank was guilty and
would like to see him hanged
On the other hand, the State will be
prepared to assail a number of these
witnesses, and will try to show
through Henslee himself that the SEN
timents against Frank were expressed
after the trial.

in The Georgian, was formally fixed
for the opening Of the arguments by
Judge Roam Saturday. At the same
time the defense and State agreed to

over the new motion were not dis
posed of by Monday a week he would

the case to be put over until De-
cember.
Judge Roam interrupted with the
remark that he was anxious to pass
on the case as quickly as possible,
and would be against any delay until
December, and the same sentiments
We're expressed by Solicitor Dorsey.
The solicitor pointed out that he
had given every moment of his time
to preparing his answer to the lengthy
plea filed by the defense. and that he
would continue to do everything to-
ward fastening the hearing.
Dorsey and Leonard Haas, Of coun-
sci for the defense, began Friday a
review Of the record Of the case to
check up on all the evidence briefed
by Franks lawyers Due to pressure
of other business, Mr.. Haas was un.
able to continue the work Saturday,

Claim His Bullet Never Killed
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harp.

La Crosse.-New evidence which,
it is claimed, proves that John Dietz
of Cameron Dam fame, could not
have fired the shot that killed Deputy
Sheriff Oscar Harp is the basis of
petition for pardon filed with Gov.
McGovern.
Attorneys said that they have affi-
davits from the Winchester ArmA
Manufacturing company to the effect
that bullet from the gun used by
Dfetz would penetrate sixteen inches
of oak without doubling.
The bullet which killed Harp en-
tered his mouth and lodged in the
back of the skull, doubled up. At
the time of his death it was claimed
that Harp was the victim of enc
mics among the sheriff's posse.

EARNING POWER is IMPAIRED
Loss of Eye Held to Be a Permanens
Disability Under the comPensa-
ton Act.

Madison-Judge Stevens has filed
with the industrial commission HIS
finding in the case of the International
Harvester company against the com
mission and Ernest Koenig, in which
the ruling of the commission is sus-
tanned
The commission awarded Koentg
compensation under the law upon the
theory that the loss of an eye was q
permanent partial disability which
would result in weekly loss of wages
of Is per cent.
From the award the company APP
pealed to the circuit court of Dane
county
In deciding the case, Judge Stevens
said:
The evidence establishes the fact
that the loss of one eye affects the
ability of the applicant to judge dis
tances. 1t is matter of such common
knowledge that judicial notice will be
taken of it that preference will gen
orally be given to men with two eyes

such machines as that upon which the
applicant is working.
The fact that plaintiff has taken him
back at his old employment is not con-
elusive. The question is, will employ
ers generally give him a chance to
earn wages in the employment in
which he was working at the time of
the accident as readily as they would
before the injury? The court is salts
fed that the commission properly
found that employers generally would
not, and that such lessened ability to
secure employment is an impairment
of earning capacity within the pro-
visions of the workmen's compensation
act
