Monday, 27th April 1914: Say Burns Has Twenty Agents On Frank Case, The Atlanta Journal

Several women are among the agents working in Atlanta, including those who previously assisted William J. Burns in his famous San Francisco cases, according to city detectives. Solicitor General Dorsey, with the help of William M. Smith, attorney for Jim Conley, and a team of detectives, continued on Monday to gather affidavits. These will be used to counter the new evidence introduced by the defense of Leo M. Frank at the hearing of his extraordinary motion for a new trial.

The solicitor has nearly completed his counter showing at this time. Unless something new develops, he will be ready for the hearing to proceed next Friday. City detectives involved in the case are closely monitoring the activities of William J. Burns' agents. They report that Burns currently has twenty people working on the case in the city, including several women.
