Solicitor and His

Assistant Will

Devote Rest of Week to

Leo M. Frank Case.

Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey is due to arrive at 7:35

o'clock this morning and it is said will devote the remainder of

the week to work in Atlanta on the reply to the plea of Leo M.

Frank for a new trial.

Mr. Dorsey, with E. A. Stephens, his assistant, has been in

Valdosta for over ten days studying the situation and during that

time has been in consultation with A. H. Henslee, one of the

twelve men who convicted Frank of the murder of Mary Phagan,

and who, the defense charged, had expressed bias in the matter

before he became a juror.

Various affidavits replying to the attack on Juror Henslee are

understood to be in the possession of the solicitor, who believes

that Frank is not entitled to a new trial and who has been

devoting many hours of the day to his reply.

Whether or not the solicitor will be ready when the motion is

called by Judge L. S. Roan at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, is yet

unknown. In Valdosta Mr. Dorsey stated that he could not say

whether or not he would be ready.

It is understood that he has some final work to carry out

following his return to Atlanta and that this will occupy him for at

least two days.
