FRANK FEELS CERTAIN
OF GETTING NEW TRIAL
New Evidence Reported Bearing on
the Murder Of Mary
Phagan.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 11.-Leo NJ.
Frank declares he is more confident OF
obtaining new trial than at any time
since his conviction on the charge Of hay
ing murdered Mary Phagan. An extrsor-
binary motion for new hearing OF the
case will be filed some time before April
II. the date recently set for the execution.
It is expected about April {.
Franks renewed hopefulness is believed
to be the result of remarkable activities
by his counsel and agents In concerted
effort to unearth new evidence. These
activities are more pronounced now than
at any time since the young factory super
intendent's arrest.
Interest in Franks fight for life like
wise appears more widespread than ever.
This interest extends throughout the en-
tire country, as shown by scores of letters
received daily by counsel for the defense
and prosecution from all parts of the
United States.

The fire committee at a meeting of

that in its opinion the inadequate water
supply in fighting the fire at the plant
of the Herbert Bryant's Son fertilizer

that the main at that point was toe

that the engine could not be taken to

cross the bridge at that crossing
Councilman Smith stated that council

some action should be taken. He added
that he though: it about time to take
some action to have the charter of the
