PDF PAGE 1, COLUMN 2 HOOPER AND DORSEY RIDICULE ARGUMENT OF REUBEN ARNOLD Attorney for Defense Wanted Remarks Taken Down in Shorthand to Show Chil- Dren, Says Frank Hooper. “NEW TRIAL FOR FRANK SLAP IN FACE OF JURY” Solicitor General Says Grant- ing Ruling Asked by De- fense Would Shatter Laws of the State. Telling Judge Roan at the Frank hearing yesterday afternoon that if a new trial was granted the convicted man, the presiding justice would establish a precedent that would shake the laws of the state and eventually shutter the jury system of Georgia, Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey began his argument at 3 o’clock. “Talk about trembling for fear of the law,” he said, “talk about farces—why, if you establish the kind of precedent which the defense ask you to establish, then it will be high time to tremble. It would shake the laws of our land, and shatter justice to remnants.” “Are you going to tear down this verdict which you, yourself, approved when you sentenced this man to death, saying: ‘I believe you have received a fair and just trial—so far as I have seek and known, you have?’ You can not afford to do it. It would be a slap in the face of justice and the jury system of our state.”
