GEORGIA
WINNER IN
RACE FOR
PLACE

Governor Slaton Wednesday
afternoon named W. S. West,
of Valdosta. TO the temporary
Senatorial vacancy occasioned
by the death of Senator Bacon.
Mr.. West is one of the leading
business men of South Georgia
and has figured prominently in
State politics for many years. He
has been several times a mem
Der of the Legislature, and is
former President of the Senate.
He is reputed to be several times
a millionaire.
Mr.. West has been Governor Sls-
toms warm personal and political
friend for a long time, and is also
very close to Clark Howell. who might
have had the Senatorship, according
to Governor slatons own statement,
had he not declined to allow his name
considered in that connection.
West Stock Jumped.
Ever since Mr.. Howeli's withdrawal
West stock has been steadily climb
ing, A large factor in the beginning,
he won finally through a process of
carofhl elimination
The solving Of the temporary SEN
atorshp was one of the most delicate
tasks ever taken over by the Gov
elnor. For almost solid week the
Governor has heard delegations from
all over the State booming this ia
vorlte son and that. He gave all
patient hearing, but it was evident in
the beginning that he proposed to
take his time, making the appoint
ment after his own notion.
AZ first it looked as If John T.
Boifeulliet, of Macon. was to win;
then the wind veered to Osborne, of
Savannah. with Vereen, of Moultrie.
figuring extensively all the while.
Appointment Expected.
To-day, however. the Governor let
it be known that Senator was to
be named before the nightfall, and
politicians generally have been keyed
up anXiously and most uncertainty as
to the outcome.
The Governor. devoting all of his
time 10 the solving Of the temporary
Scnatorship, has given out no hint

announced for Senator Bacons unex-

The latter situation doubtless will
be cleared up shortly, and In the
meantime, political lines probably will
not be too tightly drawn.
That was a great Columbus delega-
ton that invaded the Capitol We'd

PLEA NEXT
MOVE
Newly Discovered Evidence To
Be Ground for AppeaI-Hair
Point Stressed.

Leo NJ. Frank Wednesday was de-
MED a rehearing before the Supreme
Court of Georgia on his appeal from
the decision OF Judge L. S. Roam, who
last October refused him a new trial
The vote of the Supreme Court JUS
tees Was unanimous.
Franks attorneys. Luther T. Ros-
ser and Reuben r. Arnold, went into
immediate conference to determine
their next step, which is expected to
be an eNtreo:dinar motion filed in the
court of Judge Ben Hili asking for
new trial on the ground of newly dis
covered evidence
Mr. Rosser was not ready to say
Wednesday, when this motion would
be submitted,
Basis for New Motion.
1t win be based in part on the SEN
sational statement of DIR. IA. f. Har-
ris, made SIX months after the close
of Franks trial. that the hair found
on lathe on the second floor of the
pencil factory was not Mary Phagan's
hair; the reputation of his testi-
mony by the negro Albert Mcknight,
and the charges of Mrs. Nina Form
by that her affidavit against Frank
was a frame up"
If the attorneys wait until after the
resentencing of Frank before filing
the extraordinary motion, it will, if

the time of the motion for new trial
filed with Judge Roam after he had
imposed the death sentence on the
( defendant
Chief Justice Fish and Justice
Beck, who dissented from the origi-
nal decision refusing Frank a new
trial assented to the denial of re-
hearing, because as they said, all of
the grounds had been carefully gone
over in the first deliberation on the
appeal, even though they were not
discussed in the opinion, and nothing
would be gained by going over them
again.
Franks attorneys, in making the
motion for rehearing, asserted that
a number of their arguments had
been overlooked or ignored by the
Supreme Court justices.
High Courts Ruling.
The Supreme Courts ruling read:
Frank versus State.
On motion for a rehearing.
The motion for a new trial
contained 1913 grounds. To have
discussed each of them separately
would have unduly prolonged an
opinion already necessarily Of
considerable length So likewise
to deal with each of the grounds
OF the application for rehearing
in detail would serve no useful
purpose Suffice IL to say that the
matter set out in the motion for a
rehearing was not overlooked in
making the decision, but was
carefully considered and passed
upon though all of them were not
discussed at length. While the
difference of opinion among the
members of the court as to GER
tain questions which appears
from the opinion and the dissent
ing opinion. still exists, the court
is unanimous in overruiing the
application for a rehearing.
