United States, District of Columbia, Washington, 38.89511, -77.03637United States, Georgia, Fulton County, Atlanta, 33.749, -84.38798Dorsey, Hugh Manson, 1871-1948Grice, Warren, 1875-1914-10Published, bound brief prepared by Hugh M. Dorsey, and Warren Grice, the attorneys prosecuting Leo Frank, presented to the United States Supreme Court during its October 1914 term. After multiple failed motions and state appeals, Frank's legal team pursued a writ of habeas corpus in the federal district court. The denial of this writ brought the case to the Supreme Court. Leo Frank's counsel argued that mob intimidation in Frank's Fulton County trial had deprived Frank of his due process rights. On the contrary, Supreme Court Justice Mahlon Pitney, representing the majority on the Court, believed that the Georgia appellate process had rectified any improprieties. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, one of the two justices who dissented from the opinion, condemned Frank's original trial and the intimidation tactics against the Fulton County jury. In this Supreme Court case, the Court frequently referred to the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which oversees state actions related to property. However, the Court showed reluctance to invoke a similar federal supervisory power over state criminal proceedings in Frank's appeal.image/jp2engAtlanta, Ga. : Chas. P.
