Two separate reports will be submitted on the Frank case by the Burns Agency. Detective William J. Burns, evidently delayed on his return journey, will not arrive in Atlanta until today. Immediately upon returning to the city, he will begin work on his final report, which is expected to be submitted to the public this week.

It was announced Wednesday morning that Guy B. Biddinger, assistant general manager of the Burns Service, has been in Atlanta since Saturday, making a secret investigation of the Frank case. His report will be rendered separately from that of his chief.

Burns' report will be given to Solicitor General Dorsey immediately after it is submitted to attorneys for Frank's defense. It will be turned over to the solicitor as supplementary evidence to the notification of the retrial motion, which was given to Dorsey several days ago.

Herbert J. Haas, the member of Frank's defense who is in Chicago, is also expected to return this week. It is reported from Chicago that he has obtained a new witness, whose evidence he will bring to Atlanta to be embodied in the new trial application.
