NEW WITNESS SOUGHT

BY SOLICITOR DORSEY

Charles M. Wilt, Former Pris-

Oner in Fulton Tower, May

Testify in Frank Case.

Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey, it is understood, has wired to North Carolina for Charles M. Wilt, an ex-prisoner in the Tower, who will probably be used as a witness for the state.

Wilt, it is said, visited Frank's cell daily and, in the capacity of both prison physician and dealer in drinks and confectioneries, was allowed much jail freedom. No intimation has been given of the nature of the testimony he will be expected to give, but it is thought that he will be called upon to tell of some conversation he had with the accused man.

Wilt was convicted and sent to prison on a charge of attempting to defraud through the mails. He served six months in prison, and was released on ly a few weeks before Frank was put on trial. At present, he is visiting relatives in North Carolina.

Several letters and telegrams which came back to Atlanta to a friend from the former prisoner gave the solicitor a clue to the testimony which, it is reported, Wilt will be able to give.
