The Atlanta Constitution,

Friday, 17th October 1913,

PAGE 2, COLUMN 1.

The proposed conference between Solicitor General Hugh M.

Dorsey and Attorney Leonard Haas, representing the defense of

Leo M. Frank, whose motion for a new hearing is expected to be

taken up next Wednesday, did not take place yesterday, due to

the late arrival from Valdosta of the record in the case.

The two attorneys are expected to meet today. There are a

number of points to be gone over, and it is expected that certain

points claimed by the state to be errors in the plea will be agreed

upon one way or the other out of court.

It is understood that the defense has practically agreed not

to protest to the postponement from Saturday morning. Solicitor

Dorsey stated when he arrived from Valdosta, where he spent the

time studying the case in quiet, that he believed he would be

ready by Tuesday or Wednesday. It is believed that the case will

come up on the latter day.

The solicitor is yet busy gathering affidavits from the Frank

jurors to the effect that they did not hear the cheering, and also

that they were not influenced in any way by the crowd. The

question was to whether or not the latter affidavits will be allowed

as part of the rebuttal is one upon which all attorneys are not

agreed.

All of the jurors who have made statements following the

sensational charges of the defense have declared that they were

not influenced by the cheering, and most of them declared that

they did not hear it or know what the noise was about.
