Motion to Advance Hearing Will Be Made When Record Is Docketed

Attorney Harry A. Alexander, of Leo M. Frank's counsel, Friday afternoon mailed to the Clerk of the United States Supreme Court the certified Record of the Proceedings brought by Frank in the United States District Court here in connection with his Petition for a Writ of Habeas Corpus.

After the Receipt of this Record by the Clerk of the Supreme Court, it will have to be printed before it can be entered on the Docket of that Court, and the State cannot make a motion to advance the Hearing until the Case is docketed. It will probably be a week or two before Attorney General Warren Grice and Solicitor Dorsey file their motion for an early Hearing of Frank's Appeal.
