Tit froivt the court r.>o»n was
to by iiic* trial judpre and two of the
Jliree lawyers then associated with the
defense. The third defense attorney
knew nothing of tho plan, it is said.
Judge Roan, presiding, is said to have
suggested the absence and the at
torneys for both sides agreed, fearing
violence to Frank in case a verdict
of acquittal was returned and the de
fendant was in court. The defense
attorney.'^ also were absent.
The interpretation of the law made
tho i.iolion to set aside the verdict
hoU;'. the defense coun.>el had no
right to agree to Frank’s absence at
the rendition of the verdict. It de
prived Frank, the motion a.sseils, of
his right to counsel at that time and
deprived the factory superintendent
of his U'g-.d privilege to be i.i the
.•onrt room.
