Frank's attorneys claim that if Judge Newman should deny the writ Frank could appeal to the *Tn\?e<l States supreme court and* that the State would have similar recourse it the writ were granted. The petition recites that a "boisterous crowd" sur rounded the court . house during Frank's trial and that whenever the "State scored a point the crowd out side 'cheered and shouted, while those in the court room applauded in a man. ner audible both to the court and the Jury." "The excitement within and with out the court room on August 23, 1913," the petition adds, "was so ap parent as to cause apprehension in the mind of the court as to whether the trial could be safely continued that day, and before deciding upon an adjournment the presiding Judge, L. S. Roan, while upon the benqh and in the prosence Of the Jury, conferred with the chief of police of Atlanta and the colonel of the Fifth Georgia regi ment." On the last day of the trial the pe tition charges, the trial judge confer red with two of Frank's lawyers and referred to the probable danger of vio lence that Frank and his attorneys would incur if they were present wben a verdict was rendered, should it be for acquittal or a disagreement ' "The Judge then requested Frank's counsel to agree that Frank need not be present when the verdict was ren dered and the jury polled," the peti tion recites. It is claimed that Frank knew not h ins of this agreement: that he did not consent to being absent and did not waive bis right to be present when the verdict was announced.
