Negro, Whose Story That He Wrote
Notes at Franks Dictation Is Gen
erally Disbelieved, WasOften 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 vyeek 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 sludy 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 anil 2 o'clock on the afternoon of the murder,
denied the published report in <yi afternoon paper that she had
identified Conley as the one. Mrs. V\ hite 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 askml to pick
Conley out of a crowd of twelve negroes some time ago, but her
identification was a second choice.
The police, in spile 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 again.t
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
his 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
to prove the statement. Conley ad
mits that he can not remember any
one whom he saw during that time to
Jjear up his statement. From 2 o'clock
ugitil fi Conley was at his home. This
has been proven. Conley declares that
from fi until 8 o’clock that night hi
was down town; this also has not
been established. Conley states he
stayed there the remainder of the
night.
According to the m w theory ,f
.Conley's implication, the negro t ret' 1
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 hlm.--e!f
with the lav. he made Ids eonffs-’on
when he thought that the ease against
Frank was clinched—that hi:- story
was the product of his own imagin.i
tion.
Conley's delay in making this con
fession until Frank's indictment
seemed likely is another link against
him.
His detailed account of the incident
Flagler's Son Gets-
$5,000,000; Bulk of
Big Estate to Widow
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, *t
is argued, and further that the story
was conceived by Conley while he was
in prison. However, the negro’s ehilu-
ish brain was not capable of making
it strong enough to withstand rigid
investigation.
E. F. Holloway, timekeeper and
forenaan of the National Pencil fac
tory. seen to-day by a Georgian re
porter, said he was confident the ne
gro Jim Conley, under arrest as a
suspect in the Mary Phagan murder
mystery, committed the crime.
Here is what Holloway told the re
po rtei:
‘Jim Conley, when he came to work
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 w ith the girls. He used to
move their chairs when he was
sweeping. Conley was the only negro
allowed in this department.
“Jim got so bad he used to carry
whisky with him in his pocket. Sev
eral times he was caught by em
ployees taking a drink. This was not
know n by the management until after
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 Eulah May Flowers’, went to the
top floor of the building to look over
j the stock of boxes. When Conley was
not sweeping he was supposed to fill
the box bins with boxes. When Miss
Flowers moved toward the bin to look
in she stumbled over a form. She
screamed and fell back. It was Con
ley. He wac dead drunk. Miss Flow
ers tried to wake him up. but was
unable.
Caught Washing Shirt.
“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 th£ shirt by trying to drop it
through a crack in the floor. It was
a blue shirt and I saw no bloodstains,

MARQl'ETTE, MICH., May 27-
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to-day
took the stand in his suit against
George Newett. editor of The Ish-
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 $10,000 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 was 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, "when 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 r Y'ork 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-American 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-American
war, but the court overruled them ajid
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-

Ignoring the freth volley of charges
made by Carl Hutcheson, an attorney,
who offers to cite resorts which arc-
allowed to operate by the city police.
Chief Beavers Tuesday morning re
iterated his declaration that the entire
matter would be laid bare before the
Grand Jury for decision.
Detective Chief Lanford revealed
another angle of the warfare when
he declared that the fight being made
against him was backed by the gam
bling # ring of Atlanta. C. C. Jones
was named as the leader of the oppo
sition in this fight.
Beavers in commenting upon Hut
cheson's charges, declared that they
were inspired by Thomas B. Felder,
with whose office Hutcheson is con
nected, and that the attack was not
therefore that of Hutcheson, but ot
Felder and his “gang.”
Hutcheson, a young lawyer con
nected with the firm Felder. An
derson, Whitman & Dillon, wrote
an open letter to Chief of Po
lice Beavers, charging him with per
mitting unlawful houses to operate on
certain city streets and promising to
give addresses if the Chief asks per
sonally for them within three days.
Beavers to Ignore Attack.
Characterizing Carl Hutcheson as ot
too little importance to warrant an
answer to his charges made against
the police force. Chief Beavers de
clared that he would ignore him al
together.
“I don't care to answer Hutcheson’s
attack,’’ said the police official.
“Hutcheson is too small a fry to even
take notice of. An answer to him
would give him too much dignity. This
young man is in Felder’s office and is
merely being used as a tool of Fel
der and his gang. Felder prompted
him to make the statement that he
did. and so I will pay no attention to
Hutcheson.
“This matter is going before the
Grand Jury, and not Carl Hutcheson.
Regarded as Reply.
On Monday morning Chief Beavers
declared Attorney Thomas B. Felder
had no evidence of police cognizance
of immoral resorts, that he never hod
had any. and that he was only bluffing
when he said he had. Requested to
reply, Colonel Felder announced he
would make no more statements ex
cept in writing, and that he had
nothing to say then.
A few hours later Mr. Hutcheson, a
member of Colonel Felder’s firm, is
sued the letter, which is regarded as
a semi-official reply from Colonel
Felder.
Mr. Hutcheson formerly was a
newspaper man. Shortly after taking
up the practice of law he achieved
State-wide renown by conducting the
campaign of William Schley Howard,
who defeated Representative Leonldav
Livingston and is now serving his
second term in Congress.
Following is Mr. Hutcheson’s open
letter to Chief J. L. Beavers:
