H. Hill of the Fulton county superior
court today sustained the states de-
murrer to the motion to set aside the
verdict by which Leo NJ. Frank was
pronounced guilty of the murder of

lated when the verdict was returned

Merits of Motion Not Considered.
In sustaining the demurrer Judge Hill
refused to hear the motion on its
merits. holding instead that 1t was
filed too late to merit consideration.
1t was regarded in court circles as
highly probable that Franks attorneys
would Immediately appeal to the state
supreme court. asking that Judge Hill
action be reversed. Should the higher
court take such action an order would
be issued directing the Fulton county
superior court to hear the main mo-
ton on its merits.
In the event that the ruling ls az
frmed, Franks lawyers probably
would appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court
