Reading Time: 5 minutes [890 words]

Attorneys for Defense Will Not Divulge Name or Character of His Testimony

That a witness material to the defense of Leo M. Frank has been located in the suburbs of Chicago is the substance of a statement made Sunday to an Associated Press correspondent by Attorney Herbert J. Haas, of the Frank Defense.

According to dispatches, Mr. Haas refused to divulge the name of the new witness or the character of the testimony, which is to be expected from him.

Attorneys of the Frank Defense here also refuse to discuss the Chicago angle of the case.

C. E. Sears, head of the Atlanta branch of the Burns Detective Agency, said he is not expecting the return of William J. Burns Monday.

Mr. Sears said he has received no intimation as to when the famous detective will return.

In the absence of Burns, the probe of the Phagan case is continuing under the direction of Dan Lehon, of New Orleans, head of the Southern Division of the agency.

Mr. Lehon says several new points in the case have been developed since he took charge of the investigation, and these points will immediately be called to the attention of Burns on his return to the city.

Lehon continues to express satisfaction at the manner in which the investigation is proceeding.
