State of Georgia, Fulton County.

Be it remembered that at the July Term, 1913, of Fulton
Superior Court,--His Honor, L. S. Roan, one of the Judges of the
Superior Court of the State of Georgia presiding--there came on to
be tried the case of the State of Georgia vs. Leo M. Frank,
same being an indictment for murder. On the trial of said case
the jury found the defendant guilty without any recommendation
for imprisonment and the court imposed the death sentence upon the
defendant.

At the same term at which said verdict was rendered,
and in due and legal time, defendant made a motion for new
trial, which was therein stated, and said motion came on to be
regularly passed, on the 31st day of October, 1913.

Upon the hearing of said motion for new trial, said
Leo M. Frank presented a proper brief of the evidence in
said case, which was approved by the court as true and correct,
and which is here and now stated to be true and correct in this
brief of evidence.
