SUPREME COURT DECIDES AGA|NT FRANK

I tory Three days after the murder
Frank was arrested ON suspicion and
on May 8, Frank and a negro watch
man at the factory, Newt Lee, were
held by the coroner for the grand
jurys action. Lee subsequently was
released. Sixteen days later Jim
Conley, negro sweeper at the fac
tory. made a confession to the police
in which he accused Frank of having
killed the Phagan girl, and declared
ne had helped dispose of the body.
Conley, who was one of the chief
Witnesses for the state at Franks
trial, was convicted as an accessory
after the murder in February, 1914,
and sentenced TO one years imprison-
ment. He began his term last July.
Frank was placed on trial in su-
perior court, July 2S, 1913, Judge l..
:. Roam presiding. Judge Roam died
March %, 1915, in New York. A YER
dict Of guilty was returned August
%, Frank being sentenced to death
Application was made December 10
to Judge Newman of the federal dis
trict court for northern Georgia, for
writ of habeas corpus, alleging
Frank had been convicted without
due process of law; that the trial
court had lost Jurisdiction over him
during the trial because it was dom
mated by mob hostile to the pris-
oner,' and that Frank had been abb
sent from the court room when the
verdict was returned. Two days
later Judge Newman refused the writ
of habeas corpus, holding that to
grant it would mean that federal
court should review the action of the
state courts in a manner not war
ranted by the law of the country,
and that, too, after the supreme court
of the United States had decided no
federal question remained for con-
sideration in the case. Judge New
man also refused to issue a certif-
cate of probable cause" for appeal
to the supreme court, but 1t was is
sued by Justice Lamar December 28
and the case came to the supreme
court for review of Judge Newmans
action, argument being made last
February.
Justices Holmes and Hughes dis
sented. Seemingly there is no other
avenue to escape the death penalty
open to Frank through the courts.
The Georgia pardon officials are

tUy Associated Prcs#.p
WASHINGTON, April 19.-The su-
preme court has decided against Leo
Frank in his habeas corpus proceed
ings. Justice Pitney delivered the
opinion. He concluded by saying:
In all the proceedings in the courts
of Georgia, the fullest right and op-
portunity to be heard according to
the established modes of procedure
have been accorded him."
Leo NJ Franks legal fight for life
has taken a place among the cele-
brated murder cases of recent years.
Seven times since his conviction in
August, 1913, the lower and supreme
courts of the state of Georgia refused
to grant Frank a new trial or to set
aside the verdict; three times the
sentence of death was passed upon
him and twice appeals we're made
to the United States supreme court,
the first being unsuccessful and the
second resulting in the decision to-
day.
The murder of 14-year-old Mary
Phagan, a factory employe of Allan
ia, Ca, which at first appeared to
be crime of only local Importance,
eventually developed into a case of
nationwide interest. This was due
in large part to the efforts of Frank
and his friends to obtain for him a
new trial or annulment of the YER
dict Added interest in Atlanta was
given the case because of its having
been brought into a municipal politi-
cal controversy, which involved at
tacks on that city's police and detec-
tive departments and wrangles among
factions in the city administration.
Soon after the trial ended, the case
came In for agitation which spread
all over the country.
Mary Phagan was murdered April
26, 1918, on a southern holiday in
observance of confederate memorial
day. Shortly after noon of that day
she was seen to enter the pencil
factory, in Atlanta, where she had
been employed and where she went
to obtain wages due her. Her body
was found next morning in the base,
ment of the factory. with cord tied
about the neck.
Leo NJ Frank, young Jew, a col
lege graduate and married, whose
home had been in Brooklyn, N. Y,
was superintendent of the pencil fac

neer Parker of Los Angeles was the
next speaker. w. W. Pedder spoke
on the necessity of improving the
highway across Nye county.
Senator Pittman introduced reso'
luton favoring cooperation with the
citizens of Esmeralda, White Pine
owens valley and Los Angeles for
the furtherance of the Midland route
urging the county commissioners to
spend sufficient money on the road IN
Nye county to repair the same. &c
raise fund to signboard the road
