FRANKS APPEAL
COMES UP TODAY

Atlanta, December 14.-Argument upon
the appeal for a new trial for Leo M.
Frank, under sentence of death for the
murder last April of Mary Phagan, a
| factory girl, tomorrow will begin be-
| fore the Georgia supreme court here. A
three justices. probably will hear the ar
eument. but the briefs of both sides will
be considered and passed upon by the
entire court. 1t is regarded here in court
circles as probable that not less than two
days will be consumed in argument alone
and that decision may not be handed
down before late in February or early in
March.
The body of Mary Phagan, 14-year-old
employe at the pencil factory of which
Frank was superintendent, was discov-
cred in the basement of the plant on
the morning of April 27. Investigation
led to the arrest of Frank, who sub
sequently was tried and convicted of the
girls murder Interest in the trial was
general. Motion of the defense for new
trial was denied In the superior court, an
appeal being taken to the state supreme
court.
1t is claimed by the defense that the
grounds for ordering a new trial are fur
nished by the alleged statement of the
the innocence or guilt of the defendant
and also by the alleged unreliability and
inadmissibility of the evidence given by
James Conley. a negro factory employe,
and chief witness for the prosecution.

FIFTY pounds advantage in weight six

Referee Sellg was kept busy separat-

Smith and split the Kansans ear

in a stream from the wound. The
advantage at this stage was with the

Smith pecked away at Willard's
ear in the eleventh and the crowd
