Negro, Whose Story That He Wrote
Notes at Frank’s Dictation Is Gen
erally Disbelieved, W asOften Drunk.
Mrs. White Can Not Identify Him.
Suspicion in the Phagan case was Tuesday morning turned
full-flare upon James Conley, the negro whose unexpected asser
tion last week that he had written the notes found beside the body
of Mary Phagan, at the dictation of Leo M. Frank, was followed
by a speedy indictment of the pencil factory superintendent.
In the opinion of E. F. Holloway, timekeeper and foreman
in the factory, Conley is the guilty man.
Careful study of the negro's story has revealed many absurdi
ties in its structure, wherein evidences of childish cunning are
rife in an effort to throw the blame onto Frank. It is this which
has served to bring the deed to Conley's door.
However, Mrs. Arthur White, wife of a machinist at the fac
tory, who testified that she saw a negro lurking in the building
between 12 noon and 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the murder,
denied the published report in an afternoon paper that she had
identified Conley as the one. Mrs. White stated Tuesday morn
ing that she had secured only a glimpse of the man. It may have
been Conley, or another negro. Mrs. White was asked to pick
Conley out of a crowd of twelve negroes some time ago, but her
identification was a second choice.
The police, in spite of bending
every effort to show that Frank
is guilty, therefore, have resort
ed to a dissection of Conley’s
story. One of its weakest links,
they believe, is the negro’s quo
tation of Frank's statement to
him “Why should I hang?” That
the superintendent should place
this confidence in the negro
sweeper appears absurd.
Another damaging point against
Conley lies in the declaration of Hol
loway, timekeeper of the factory, that
the negro had appeared for duty in
toxicated on several occasions; that
hie duties as sweeper brought him
in contact with the girls, who feared
him. *•
Where Was Conley?
According to Conley’s story, he was
on Peters Street from 10 o’clock until
2 in the afternoon of the murder.
Police investigation of this has failed
o prove the statement. Conley ad
mits that he can not remember any
one whom he saw during that time to
bear up his statement. From 2 o'clock
until 6 Conley was at his home. This
has been proven. Conley declares that
from 6 until 8 o'clock that night he
jas down town; this aiso lias mot
n established. Conley Mates he
'tayed there the remaindet of the
night.
According to the new theory of
Conley’s implication, the negro wrote
the notes on Saturday instead of Fri
day, as he claims, and not on any
body’s dictation. It is further argued
that, in order to ingratiate himself
with the law. he made his confession
when he thought that the case against
Frank was clinched—that his story
was the product of his own imagina
tion.
Conley's delay in making this con
fession until Frank’s indictment
seemed likely is another link against
him. a
His detailed account of the incident
of the note writing, in which he even
went so far as to attempt a quotation
of what Frank said to him, shows
premeditation on the negro's part, It
is argued, and further that the story
was conceived by Conley while he was
in prison. However, the i/’gro s child
ish brain was not capable of making
it strong enough to withstand rigid
investigation.

when .it
here about one year ago, was a pretty
good negro. We had no trouble with
him for about two months. Then Jim
got drunk. He had been running the
elevator and we were afraid to trust
him afterward. We then put him to
work sweeping in the trimming de
partment. Here Conley was closely
associated with the girls. He used to
move their chairs when he was
sweeping. £onley was the only negro
allowed in this department.
• Jim got so bad he used to carry
whisky with him in his pocket. Sev

the murder of Mary Phagan.
Drunk in Factory.
“About one week before the crime
was committed the forelady of the
trimming and finishing department,
Miss ETUlah May Flowers’, went to the
top floor of the building to look over
the stock of boxes. When Conley was
not sweeping he was supposed to fill
the box bins with boxes. Whert Miss
Flowers moved toward the bin to look
in she stumbled over a form. She
screamed and fell back. It was Con

unable.
“On the morning of the Coroner’s*
investigation, Thursday after the
murder, when the plant was shut
down because we all were called to
the investigation, I testified and went
back to the factory. As I entered the
metal department I heard a splashing
in the cooling tank. There was Con
ley washing his shirt. When I entered
he was very much startled And tried
to hide the shirt by trying to drop it
through a crack in the floor. It was
a blue shirt and 1 saw’ no bloodstains,
for he had evidently been washing it
for some time as it was pretty clean.
"This is the first time in the year
that Jim Conley worked here that he

Shouts Denial That Bull Moose
Party Is Paying Cost of His
$10,000 Libel Suit.
MARQUETTE, MICH., May 27.-*
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to-day
took the stand in his suit against
George Newett, editor of The lsh-
peming Iron Ore. Colonel Roosevelt
denied emphatically that he ever
drank intoxicating liquors to excess
as charged in the editorial that re
sulted in his $i0,000 libel suit.
He said he did not drink beer or
whisky, except under the direction of
a doctor, but admitted that he some
times drank light wines.
He related briefly his career up to
the time the editorial from The Iron
Ore w’as brought to him as he lay
in a hospital in Chicago, after hav
ing been wounded by a would-be as
sassin in Milwaukee.
Says Editorial Angered Him.
‘I was/very indignant,’’ said the
colonel, "w’hen the editorial Was
shown me."
The former President mounted the
stand after a stormy few minutes dur
ing which Attorney Pound, represent
ing the plaintiff, was interrupted fre
quently by Attorney Belden while
making his opening statement. At
torney Belden, Newett's counsel, de
clined to make his statement until
after the testimony was taken.
Colonel Roosevelt took the stand at
9:30 o’clock this morning.
Replying to questions regarding his
life and career, he said he was born
in New York City, completed his stu
dies at Harvard in 1880, was elected
to the New York Legislature in 1881,
appointed New’ York civil service
commissioner in 1887, police commis
sioner of New York City in 1890,
elected Lieutenant Governor in 1894,
resigning in 1897 to become lieutenant
colonel of the Rough Riders in the
Spanish-Ameriean war, being pro
moted to colonel after the battle of
Santiago.
Tells of War Service.
Strenuous objection was made by
the defense to Roosevelt's replies re
garding the number of times he was
under fire in the Spanish-Ameriean
war, but the court overruled them and
the former President continued his
story, declaring he was under fire
many times, more particularly at San
Juan Hill.
He told of his election as Governor
of New’ York in 1898; as Vice Presi
dent of the United States in 1900; his
succession to the White House in 1901
w’hen President McKinley was assas
sinated, and his election to the Presi
dency in 1904.
Colonel Roosevelt then testified as fol
lows;
Q. What did you do on the expira
tion of your term in 1909?—A. I went
to Africa as special curator for the
Smithsonian Institution and spent sev
eral months there in research work. Re
turning home, I became connected with
the “Outlook.’’
Q. Where jvere you in October, 1912?—
A. What part of that month? Cite an
incident to remind me.
Q. Have you ever seen this paper? —
(The colonel was sho\\n a copy of The
Ishpeming Iron Ore.) A. Yes, in Octo
ber, 1912.
Copy of Pap.tr Admitted.
Q. Where were you?—A. In Mercy
Hospital.
Q. What city° (Attorney Belden ob
jected. The court overruled the objec
tion and allowed an exception.) A. In
Qhicago.
Q. Why were you there?—A. 1 had
been shot.
Q. In what city?—A. In Milwaukee.
(Attorney Pound here introduced a
copy of the paper in evidence and it was
admitted without objection.)
Q. How did you feel \4hen you read
the editorial, “The Roosevelt Way?’*—A.
I was very indignant.
At this point Attorney Pound read
the editorial, stating that action was
based on the following:
What Caused the Suit.
Theodore Roosevelt is the only one
that can call people liars, rascals

Florida Mob Tries
To Lynch Head of
Negro Pythians
PENSACOLA, FLA., May 27.
When a Jacksonville-New Orleans
train pulled into Milton, 20 miles east
of here, last night a mob of 75 men
met the train and demanded S. W.

was occupying a Pullman drawing
room. He was only saved by the in
terference of Sheriff Harvell and dep
uties, of Santa Rosa County.
Green bought a Pullman ticket from
Jacksonville to New Orleans. Sev
eral mobs met the train along the
route before it reached Milton, but did
not find him. At Milton. Green, see
ing the mob, attempted to escape.
Green is now in jail at Milton for
safe keeping and charged with vio
lating the “jim crow" law.
He barely escaped a mob at De-
Funiak on May 18 while going from
