AGREEMENT
E:V|DEN TLY
DIFFICULT
Decision on Plea of Doomed Man
May Be Delayed Several
Days Yet.

The impression is steadily gaining
ground, particularly among lawyers,
that the Supreme Court likely is d.
vded in it's opinion in the famous
Frank case, and that decision may
not be handed down for several days
yet. Notwithstanding the fact that it
mas been confidently anticipated ever
since the court went into it's regular
February banc on Monday.
The court evidently is not consid-
aring the Frank case, so far as its
handling of the same is concerned. as
anything primarily extraordinary, but
the fact that it actually has fallen in
70 a status far from ordinary indi-
Gates to the legal mind a possibility
if not a probability, that the court
is finding it difficult to make up its
mind unanimously as to ruling.
Court Divided, Is Runor.
Rumor about the streets has it that
he court stands evenly divided as
to affirmation and reversal, but this
is regarded as mere rumor. as the
court has exercised great diligence in
seeing that nothing escapes by way of
hint or suggestion as to what is going
on.
The fact that the Frank case is
now the only murder case submitted
at the time it was filed in appeal that
has not been disposed of, the addi-
tional fact that it falls within the
usual rules of fast writs" on all cap
,al appeals. and the still further fact
that no decisions of any character have
come of the present banc, all COM
The court, for some reason or other,
has not been able to get together on
a ruling.
In the event the Frank decision is
net unanimous, there likely would be
some delay in handing down the
opinion, for the reason that the dis
senting justices would require time
TO shape their protests, and each of
these protests might be entirely in
d,yidual and still part Of the record.
Unanimous Opinion Desired.
Because of the great gravity of the
Frank case, and it's admittedly far
reaching consequence, the impression
among lawyers is that the Supreme
Court would prefer, if possible, TO
hand down a unanimous opinion.
II that assumption is correct, natu
ally the court, which is under no
obligation to hurry itself unduly,
would give itself plenty of@ time in
which to thrash out its internal diff
terences, if there be any.
Undoubtedly, public interest is very
acute as to the findings of the Su-
preme Court in this matter, and in
qI.ry of the newspapers of the law
Ners concerned, and even of the court
"ihclals themselves, is continuous
and frequent
The court. theoretically knows
HoJhing of this, and cares less, but
me fact remains, nevertheless, that
Inc public interest is there and that
$ insistent for information.
