petition for a writ OF haheas corpus.

tody.
The petition alleges that Frank $
constitutional rights were violated, and
that ne was convicted without due pro-
cess of law, in that he was not present
in court when the verdict OF guilty
was returned. IT was further alleged
that Frank did not have fair and
impartial trial. and that the State
courts by the alleged denial of his
constitutional rights, lost Jurisdiction
in his case prior to the rendering OF
the verdict and the passing OF sentence
Franks attorneys appeared before
Federal Judge w. Il. Newman to pre-
sent the petition. Because Solicitor
General Hugh NJ. Dorsey was unable to
be present, Judge Newman would take
no action on the matter but said he
would hear the petition next Satur-
day morning.
Franks attorneys claim that If Judge
Newman should deny the writ, Frank
could appeal to the United States Su-
prcme Court, and that the State would
hdv" similar recourse If the writ were
Srantcd The petition rccites that a
"boisterous crowd" surrounded the
courtroom during Franks trial. and
that whenever the State scored n point
