STATE CAN HURRY
Up THE FRANK CASE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 18.-An-
other step in the now famous
Leo Frank case was taken today when
recently allowed appeal from the de-
cision of Judge Newman of the federal
court for the northern district of Geor-
gia was formally docketed by the Unit
ed States supreme court.
The State of Georgia, or the defend
ant may either asked that the case be
advanced on the docket, at any time
now, but unless such motion is made
it will be at least eighteen months be-
fore arguments on the case can be
heard.
The usual custom in criminal cases
docketed for trial by the supreme
court is to grant early hearings upon
proper motion, and is is understood
such motion will be offered by the
Georgia attorney general, who is now
in Washington. Should a motion to
advance the date for hearing Franks
case be allowed, a decision may be
handed down within sixty days.
