Defense Claims Judge Roan Has Reversed Himself Since Going on Appellate Bench.

While it is true that attorneys on both sides of the Frank case will ask the supreme court for permission to file supplementary briefs, it was declared yesterday by Reuben Arnold, of counsel for Leo Frank that there would be no charges of bad faith or of willful misrepresentation on his part.

"Our object in asking to file supplementary briefs," said Mr. Arnold, "will be to correct errors which may have crept into the record and to call attention to statements of the evidence which may be true, and still may not have been made with any preconceived purpose to distort or to falsify. I do not believe that there is any ill-feeling involved, certainly not on our side of the case."

It is claimed by Frank's attorneys that Judge Roan, since he has gone on the court of appeals, has rendered a decision of appeals, has rendered a decision in a damage suit contrary to the opinion he held in admitting evidence in the trial of the Frank case.

In the damage suit, Judge Roan, it is claimed, held that it was reversible error for the court to admit evidence that other motormen had gone at an excessive rate of speed, and that, therefore, the motorman who had killed the child may have been going at an excessive rate.

In the Frank case, the defense claimed that Judge Roan held that evidence to the effect that the English avenue cars frequently came to town ahead of schedule was not admissible to show that Mary Phagan's car might have been ahead.

In the dining room a dais was provided for the lords and ladies of the feast.

The menu consisted of only the old historical dishes, such as the boar's head, plum porridge, stuffed goose, huge sirloin of beef, fruits and wassail.

As the boar's head was brought in by the steward, the procession, led by the trumpeters, sang the fifteen century boar's head carol.
