FRANK LAWYERS
To FILE MORE
DISPOSITIONS
Another Juror May Be Charged
With Bias-Accused Cheer
full, Aiding Counsel,

Counsel for Leo NJ. Frank made
ready Friday to file further deposit
tons TO support their arguments for
q new trial which will be made Sat
urday, October is, before Judge L. S.
Roam. 1t is understood the name of
at least one more juror, in addition
20 A. II. Henslee and Marcellus Jo-
henning, will be mentioned in the af-
fldavits as guilty of prejudice.
Franks lawyers say they have I'M
covered what they regard as practi-
cany conclusive evidence Of violent
dislike and bias on the part of a third
Juror.
Several dispositions are expected to
be filed respecting this juror. Others
have been obtained to strengthen the
charge of prejudice on the part of
HensIee and Johenning.
Still others bear on the demonstra-
lions that took place inside and out
side the courtroom during the trial,
by which. the defense alleges, the
members of the jury might have been
inundated.
Frank Is Cheerful.
Undisturbed by the thought that if
his sentence had not been stayed by
the appeal of his attorneys for a new
trial he would some time during the
day pay out his life on the gaHows,
Frank sat in his sell in the
Tower Friday, busly and cheerfully
engaged in working on number of
the details of his greatly involved
case
Frank was convicted of murder Au-
gust 25. On August 26 he was sem
fenced by Judge l. s. Roam to be
hanged October 10. The hearing Of
his attorneys motion for a new trial
was set for October 4, but the vast
amount of work necessary in the
preparation of the arguments led to a
request by Solicitor Dorsey for more
time. A weeks delay was granted by
Judge Roam, with the understanding
that he would extend the time stil
further If desired.
Hearing October 10.
Solicitor Dorsey and his assistant.
4. =. Stephens, secluded themselves
in N3ltosta, where they would be in
SUTe3 against Interruptions, and be-
gan their review of the ia reasons
for a new trial submitted by the de-
Tense. Within a few days they saw
that they could not complete their
work by Saturday Of this week and
possibly not in time for a hearing on
the following Saturday. Another re-
quest for more time was granted by
Judge Roam. The hearing win take
place October is, in all probability,
unless the Selicjtorois unable TO con-
clude his preparation by. that time.
In the meantime, Franks execution,
set for to-day has been indefinitely
postponed. The prisoner continues to
entertain full confidence of ultimate
acquittal. His only utterance has
been that he was unjustly convicted
by jury that was swayed by intiu-
snces outside the evidence.
Frank Aids Lawyers.
He Is taking a most active interest
In the movements in his behalf, and is
himself assisting the attorneys mate
rally along certain lines. He Is Wis
tied constantly by his relatives and
friends, and is maintaining the same
optimistic demeanor that has marked
his bearing since he was first taken
to the Tower.

Prepare For Annual
Grammar Grade Meet

Preparations are now being made
for the annual Y. M. G. A. grammar
grade school athletic meet, which will
probably be held May "a or May 81.
Burton Crazy, who is acting as physic-
al director, is in charge Of the arrange
ments. and is endeavoring to make the
meet the most successful yet held.
The athletes of the various schools
in the city are busy training fol the
meet. Some Of the weaker teams give
promise Of being considerably strong
er this year, and some keen contests
will undoubtedly result.
In order to make the contests more
even this year, the boys will be divided
into four classes. according to weight.

of which will be participated in by

Weakness behind the bat has been
responsible in a large for the
failure of Grand Forks to secure the
last two games against the st. Paul
team. This weakness has resulted
from the fact that Gerlach has been
out Of the game since last week with a
bruised hand, but advices received
this morning from Lohr are to the eff
feet that he expected he would be able
to work today or tomorrow at Vir-
ginia.
In the meantime Edmunds is doing
duty, and he has been rather weak.
Nine stolen bases by the Saints in two
getting Sunday and Monday. and made
victories for that team responsible.
Brogan, another changeoff catcher,
has been having a hard time getting
into shape this season, being bothered
with sore legs. Brogan had to quit
the field yesterday, Grogan going in
his place.
Infield Looks Strong.
The infield looks good. Chase at
short has been having trouble, but he
has been hitting hard and something
in the way Of errors can be overlook
ed from a man who does good stick
work. Three times he swatted the
pill yesterday for safeties, once going
to the third base. bue he was thrown
out trying to stretch it into a home
run. The fault may have been on
coaching. Altman, too, was thrown out
at the pan yesterday on an attempt to
gain a tally on a close play.
Stolen bases by the opposition, how
ever. have been the worst feature to
be contended with. Edmunds is. not
in shape for the work. as he only had
about three or four days work before
going into the game.
Lack of Morning Work.
One feature the Grand Forks has to
contend with on it's initial tour Of the
circuit is the lack Of morning practice,
and it Is badly needed by a team at
this time Of the year.
With nothing but the regular games
the boys hardly have a chance to get
into the best Of shape. although their
work Is admittedly very creditable at
every stage.

P|CkETTS ARE
At WORK AGAIN
Number of Candidates Trv-
ing Out for Positions
Looking for Games.

After one season Of comparative in.
activity, the Picketts. who for some
years furnished Grand Forks fans the
only baseball they had, are again at
work. They promise to bring several
good semt-professional teams here
during the coming summer, and, with
that end in view. have been working
nard to round into shape as soon as
possible.
Tim McIlraith, their old catcher.
has been chosen manager. while Bert
Chandler. another of the mainstays. is
acting as captain.
Several Of the old players are trying
u for positions again this season and
give promise of making good. There
are a number of new candidates, how.
ever. and they are showing up we'll
in practice.
Tierney and Hohoff undoubtedly
will compose the pitching staff. Both
men worked for a while last season
With the Picketts. but this will be
their first q Of steady work with
the team. They formally were the
twirlers for the old Grand Forks
White Sox.
The catching position still is uncer-
tain; Tim Mc1lraith, the former
behind the bat, but has been trying
catchers are in line, and it is expect
ed that n will be chosen before
Sunday.
The indications are that McIlraith
will hold down first base, with Bert
Chandler at second. his old station.
Poliskey, a new conner, will probably
play third. while Torp. who has just
come from Fargo. will play shortstop.
The outield positions are still un.
certain. Among those trying u for
positions are Bach, Shannon, Bacon
and Schumacher. There are several
others who are doing good work and
may be able to land positions.
The schedule has not been arrang.
ed yet, but Manager McIlraith Is look.
ing for a game for Sunday.
