brief arguing against Leo NJ. FRANKS
petition for reversal OF the Georgia
Federal Courts ruling against his re-
tease on habcas corpus writ Frank
is under death sentence for the muir
der OF Mary Phagan. an Atlanta factory
girl
The brief declares writ OF hnbcas

portions of the record upon which the
conviction was based
1T points out that FRANKS ATTORNEYS
ask his release solely on allegations OF
mob violence during his trial. and on
hts absence from the court when the
verdict was returned.
The Supreme Court OF Georgia is
second to no state Ia according trials

The Attorney-Gcneral defends the
position taken by the Georgia State
courts that Frank should have raised
from court on his motion for new
trial. instead OF waiting to Incorporate
them In petition to set aside the YER
dict. and adds:
We believe no case will be found
in the books not In entir. harmony
with the position assumed by the State
In this case. and, on the other hand.
we do not believe that the contention
or Frank could be entertained without
doing violence to well-established prin
ciples OF law already definitely laid
down. And we believe that. while IL
is essential to give every defendant
all constitutional rights guaranteed
him when they are not waived. still we
also believe that for the good of So

ment and the due administration OF the
law, II is more important that there
should be always timely presentation
or such questions as here made"
The brief contends that Frank was

For the first time in it's history
Brainerd is to be dry" the "wets"
losing out in the election of yester-
day by vote of 9S6 to 500, a ma
iority Of TT. Another feature of
the election was the trimming admin
istered to the Brainerd socialists. Pre-
viously they had four members on
the council and the mayor was fol-
lower of the red flag. Yesterday the
socialist candidate for mayor was de-
feated and only two candidates of the
party for the council were elected
They named one member of the
board of education.
The successful candidate for mayor
was DR.. r. A. Beise, who polled 1,OO1
votes against $40 for R. A. Henning,
socialist, the present official.
Brainerd voters declared against
the adoption of a commission charter,
under which the government of the

ness manager plan.- The vote was
579 for the charter and 819 against.

GANG SHOOTING"
CHARGE ON TRIAL

Wichita Falls, Tex, April 7.-Sen-
sational possibilities in the trials of
Judge E. w. Fry, Pete Fry, R. M.
Todd and John Lischke, which open
ed here today, attracted a large au-
dience. The four were indicted in
connection with the shooting of
Deputy Sherik Cherryholmes at Gra-
ham, last February, when a party of
armed, masked men attacked the
court house there. Cherryholmes
and another deputy were guarding
records in the indictment of Judge
Fry, now state representative, for al
legged embezzlement while on the
county court bench. Pete Fry, a
brother, was afterward found in a
wounded condition in Judge Fry's
house, along with Todd, also wound
ed, and Lischke.
The case went to Wichita Falls on
a change of venue. Some of the
ablest counsel in the state were en-
ployed by the defendants. Friends
of Litschke, who is an expert lock-
smith, said that he was hired to so
to Graham and open a safe. They
assert he was innocent of any COM
plicity in the attack on the court
house.

Was Poor Exhibition With Little
Real Fighting.

Hudson, Wis, April Tn very
slow exhibition of the manly art at
the Hudson arena on the banks of
the ST.. Croix, made historic by Long
fellows Hiawatha poem, last night,
Jack Dillon of Indianapolis and Billy
Murray, the Portuguese hailing from
the Golden Gate, made q truly sad
exhibition, the slight edge going to
the Hoosier white hope eliminator.
The first three rounds were even,
the fourth, eighth, ninth and final
going to Dillon. the fifth to Murray
The. rest were even with little fight
ing done on either side. Billy Miske
outpointed Mike O'Dodw, both of St..
Paul, in the ten-round semiwindup,
which proved to be the fight of the
evening. They went at 1t hammer
and tongs all the way and both were
covered with blood at the final bell.
Miske's exceptional reach and great
er height was too great a handicap
for the little Turk. =.
