Appeal on Habeas Corpus Writ
Granted by Supreme Justice
Lamar at Washington.
NEW TURN IN FAMOUS CASE
Question May Arise az to Whether
Georgia Court Can indict and
Try Condemned Man Again.

Washington, Dec. 29.-Justice La
mar of the supreme court has granted
an appeal from the refusal of the fed
eral district court for Northern GeOr
gia to release on habeas corpus pro
ceedings Leo NJ Frank, under sen
tence for the murder of Mary Phagan
a 15-year-old factory girl of Atlanta.
Frank is sentenced to die January
%, hut Justice Lamar's action effects
an indefinite stay Of execution. Thirty
days are given for filing the record of
the proceedings of the lower court.
Immediately after that has been done
the State of Georgia may ask that the
case be advanced for hearing and such
suggestions are generally granted, al
though in the regular course the case
would not come up for year and a
half.
May Not lndict Him Again.
The entire court will pass upon
Franks right to seek release from Gus
ground the trial court in Fulton coun-
ty, Georgia, lost jurisdiction over him
by it's failure to have him present
when the jury returned it's verdict OF
guilty. Should the court decide he was
entitled to ask for the writ, thus re-
versing Judge Newman of the lower
court the case may he remanded to
the district court for the taking OF
evidence in support of the petition.
Should it eventually be held that
Frank must be released from custody.
it is said a question may arise as to
the power of the state to indict and
try him a second time.
Justice Lamar Had Case Before.
This was the second time Franks
fate had rested in Justice kamars
hands. After the Georgia Supreme
Court had declined to set aside the
verdict of conviction Justice Lamar
was asked to issue writ OF error for
the-supreme court to review the case.
He declined on the ground that no fed
eraI question was presented, in as
much as questions of procedure were
for the states to decide. Justice
Holmes, and eventually the other
members of the court, upon being pc
titioned, took the same ground.
