GRANTS APPEAL
IN FRANK CASE
Larmar Opens Way to Highest
Tribunal.
WRIT MAY BE SOUGHT.
Carry Habeas Corpus Fight
to Supreme Court.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Justice
Lamar of the United States Supreme
court today granted an appeal
from the refusal of the federal dis
trict court for northern Georgia to
release on habeas corpus proceed
ings Leo M. Frank, under death
sentence for the murder of Mary
Phagan at Atlanta.
Frank has been sentenced to be
hanged January %, but Justice La
mars action causes stay of exc
cution. Thirty days are given for
the record of the proceedings in the
lower court to be filed in the su-
preme court here. The State of Geor-
gia then may ask that the hearing
of the case be advanced. Such sug-
gestions generally are granted.
, AS result of Justice Lamar's
action today the entire court now
will pass upon Franks right to seek
release from custody on writ of
habeas corpus on the ground that
the trial court in Fulton county,
Georgia, lost jurisdiction over him
by it's failure to have him present
when the jury returned it's verdict.
Should the supreme court decide
Frank was not entitled to the ben
eft Of the habeas corpus writ, the
State Of Georgia would no longer be
barred from carrying out the death
sentence. If the court decides he
was entitled to ask for the writ, the
case probably would remanded to
the federal district court for the
taking of evidence on the writ, and
in opposition thereto.
Should the supreme court even
tually decide that Frank must be
released, it was said, further
question would arise as to the power
of the State to indict and try him a
second time. Authorities are said
to differ as to whether the first trial
would be regarded as having placed
Frank in Jeopardy"
