Having applied to the supreme court of the United States and having been turned down two or more times by the Justices of that court on the ground that this court had no jurisdiction of his case for the lack of a Federal question, Leo M Frank has now been granted an ap- j peal and review of his whole case 1 by this supreme tribunal on the ground that a Federal question has ? been presented as determined by . Justice Lamar,the same Justice who formerly decided that the case pre- < sented no Federal question. 1 Any one who attempted to follow and reconcile the intricacies, contra- 1 dictions and complexities of the legal machinery of these United States 1 and of the several and respective 1 Commonwealths of which the nation is composed would very quickly be 1 qualified for the bughouse. It is the theory of the law that the certainty of its judgments is essential to its utility, whereas in the practice and administration of it, , uncertainty is the only certain ele- , ment that can be predicated of it. \ Every Judge seems to have an individual theory and sometimes one 1 Judge has two or more theories that contradict and neutralize each other. Look at this record in the Frank case: April 27, 1913?Body of Mary j Phagan,fourteen years old, found in cellar of National Pencil factory at 1 Atlanta, Ga. Had been murdered the night before. April 29?Leo M Frank, superin- | tendent of factory, and James Conley, a negro sweeper, arrested.
