STAY OF SENTENCE 1 Date For New Trial Hearing to be Postponed. t ?* ' WILL NOT HANG THIS YEAR r \ Motion For New Trial Will be Put Off From October 4 to December. I The following 1b from The At' lanta Journal of today: That Leo M. Frank's motion for ' a new trial will not be heard until I December, and that then the judge ' to grant or deny the famous prisoner , another hearing will be Judge Benjamin H. Hill Instead of Judge L. S. Roan, the trial judge, are two important facts in the case which became public Thursday. I Attorney Luther Z. Rosser, leading counsel for Frank, has been working untiringly on the case, preparing his ' motion, but it is sai' that the document will not be co eluded posribly until only a short time before the (late set for the hearing of the motion, October 4. After he has been duly served with the defense's motion Solicitor Dorsey will require at least a month to com1 plete his answer. The congested condition of the criminal docket makes it certain that the solicitor will be in court con* stantly during the month of October. ' and will have little opportunity of J working on any except the (ases which are brought before the court ' daily. The number of jail felony cases now pending breaks all records and it is essential that the solicitor devote his time to clearing the jail just as soon as he can secure .a judge t to preside in the criminal division. This will be October 1, when Judge r Hill leaves his place as chiM justice of the court of appeals and com' mences his work as a judge of the superior court of Fulton county. > Judge Roan on October 1 becomes i a judge of the court of appeals, and as such he will not hear, it is au" thoritatively said, the motion for a new trial for Frank despite the fact that he was the trial judge. The hearing of the motion will automati1 callv fall upon the shoulders of Judge Hill. Although Attorney Rosser refuses to forecast the probable time of the completion of his motion, attorneys ' generally state that owing to the voluminous record of the Frank trial, ' that an atomey would scarcely be ex! pected to complete such a motion in ' I the time that will hnve elapsed from ' i the end of the Frank trial to the " ' date set for the hearing of the mo' | tion. However, regardless of wlieth1 I er or not the defense asks for additional time in preparing the motion ' it is certain that the solicitor will I ask that the hearing be postponed ' and under the circumstances there is ' little probability t' his plea for ad1 ditional time will e denied by tho 1 court. ' | A court order will then be issued, staying indefinitely the day of tho execution of Frank, which has been set for October 10. ' ' That the defense will charge that much of the evidence introduced at the trial was procured through tho "third degree is certain. vmiy ' Wednesday attorneys for the defense secured from the solicitor the original affidavit made the detectives by | Mtnola McKnight, the Selig cook. It. | is remembered that the negress repudiated the affidavit on the witness ' stand, declaring that it war extorted ' from her by the city detectives. The court of appeals only recently 1 in a decision written by Judge Hill. ' who will be on the superior court, bench when the motion is tried, de' ! clared that testimony secured I through the third degree was value| less in a court, and could not legally j be admitted.
