TSHUB ‘CONSULS 7 BELGIUM Appeal on Habeas Corpus Writ Granted by Supreme Justice ‘Lamar at Washington. NEW TURN IN FAMOUS: CASE Question May Arise as to Whether Georgia Court Can Indict and Try Condemned Man Again. Washington, Dec, 29.—Justice La- mar of the supreme court has granted an appeal from the refusal of the fed- eral district court for Northern Geor- gia to release on habeas corpus pro- ceedings Leo M. Frank, under sen- tence tor the murder of Mary Phagan, a 15-year-old factory girl of Atlanta. Frank is sentenced to die January 22, Lut Justice Lamar’s action effects an indefinite stay of execution. Thirty days are given for filing the record of the proceedings of the lower court. Immediately after that has been done the State of Georgia may ask that the Case be advanced for hearing and such suggestions are generally granted, al- though in the regular course the case would not come up for a year and a half: May Not Indict Him Again. “The entire court will pass .upon Frank's right to seek release from cus- tody on a writ of habeas corpus on the ground the trial court in Fulton coun- ty, Georgia, lost jurisdiction over him by its failure to have him present when the jury returned its verdict of guilty. Should the court decide he was entitted to ask for the writ, thus re- versing Judge Newman of the lower court, the case may be remanded to the district court for the taking of evidence in support of the petition. Should it eventually be held that Frank must be released from custody, it is said a question may arise as to the power of the state to indict and try him a second time. Justice Lamar Had Case Before. This was the second time Frank's fate had rested in—dnstice--Lamar's hands. After the Georg Supreme Court had declined to set aside the verdict of conviction Justice Lamar was asked to issue a writ of error for the-supreme court to review the case. He declined on the ground that no fed- eral question was presented, in as much as questions of procedure were for the states to decide.
