Copyright, 1906, By Tim Georgian Co. 2 CENTS PAT N0 MORE With Detectives Looking On, Negro Shows HowHe Carried Girl’s Body to Basement at Direction, as He Swears, of His Employer, Leo Frank. As a sensational climax to the confession of his part of the Mary Phagan tragedy, Jim Conley, negro sweeper, was taken to the National encil Factory Friday afternoon, where he enacted by movement every detail of the events that took place in the building of mystery after the death of the little girl. With the detectives noting every sentence that fell from the ready lips of the negro, Conley started from the exact point at the top of the stairs on the second floor where he says Leo Frank met him, and went through the grim drama Kith a realism that con vinced all who listened and watched that he at last was telling the whole truth. He reproduced the conversa tions that passed between him and Frank. He lay down full length at the rear of the metal room to show precisely how the body of the little girl lay when he tirst saw it. He lay partly on his face, with his right leg slightly drawm up. to portray the position of the dead girl when he first saw her as he was led to the rear of the building, as he says, by Leo Frank. He reproduced the conversations that passed between him and Frank. He lay down full length at the rear of the metal room to show precisely how the body of the little girl lay when he first saw it. He lay partly on his face, with his right leg slight ly drawn up, to portray the position of the dead girl when he first saw her as he was led to the rear of the building, as he says, by Leo Frank. , Show How Body Laid. Later in the basement he lay down again to show the detectives just how the body was dropped to the ground as though it had been a sack of salt. The negro lay on his face. His right arm was curled up under his body. The left arm was partly under his bo<!y. but straight. His feet pointed toward the rear door and his head to ward the front of the building. The announcement that this spec tacular leproduction of the crime was to take place was made at the end of another third degree session in the of fice of Chief Lanford. The negro was put in Chief Beavers’ automobile. All the curtains were drawn and the ut most secrecy was maintained. Only those in authority in the factory were aware that the tragedy was to be re enacted, step by step. Conley was handcuffed to Chief Beavers when he stepped from the car. Many of the employees, at lei sure during the noon hour, were con gregated at the foot of the stairs on the first floor when the strange procession filed up the stairs. The city detectives had come on foot. Chief Lanford and Chief Beavers, with the negro, arrived a few minutes later. Some of the employees, curious to learn the latest development in the mystery, attempted to follow. They were turned back with orders not to come inside and the doors were barred against them. Guided by the negro, Herbert Schlff and E. F. Holloway, | the party of detectives and newspa- 'peb men started on the tour which was to reproduce- the tragedy, detail by detail, from the moment Conley top of the stairs until the two re turned to Frank s office where Conley again wrote the notes, as at Frank's dictation, and repeated the conversa tion that he swears took place be tween them. Besides Chief Beavers and Chief Lanford, there were in the party De tective Harry Scott, of the Pinker tons, and City Detectives Coker and Campbell. "Where did you first see Frank when he whistled to you twice?” Con ley was asked as soon as he had reached the second floor. Details Every Move. “Right here,” he replied the negro, pointing to the top at the steps. Fruin this point the negro went on detailing every movement and every fragment of conversation that he remembered until he left the build ing. “He asked me if I wanted to make some money right Quick and I told him I did,” said Conley. "Then he said he had picked up a girl back there who had hit her head against something and he wanted me to bring her body to the elevator.” The negro at this point walked back toward the rear of the second floor, all of the officers following him. He pointed out to the officers the ex act point where he had found the body, lying partly doubled up near the men’s toilet. “When I got back here, I got scared and hollered to Mr. Frank and said that the girl was dread,” the negro continued. “He was standing in that doorway right there. He told me to get a sack and put her body in that.” The dozen men in the party, gripped by the realistic reproduction of the tragedy, followed Conley as he walked to a cotton box in the middle of the second floor and picked out a sack of cotton bagging. Tells of Seeing Cord. “This is jus’ like that I got that day except that this has got a little more cotton in it and the other one was slit,” said the negro, holding the bagging up for the inspection of the officers. “I went back and raised her up and slipped- the bagging under her like this,” said the negro, illustrating. "Then I raised her head and should ers and pulled the bagging up so that I could put it over my should er.” Here the negro told for the first time of seeing the cord which was used in the strangling of the little girl. “The cord was lying right there,” said Conley. 'It was right by the body, hut I didn’t notice that it was around her neck. I didn t think that declares that he met Frank at the Continued on Pane Two.

Farnsworth. PONCE DE LEON BALL PARK, May 30.—Harold Hangover and his sneeze ball breaking a dozen different ways would have failed to throw an iota of fear into the hides of B. Smith’s horsehide .wallops on the local green this afternoon.

At least so said the heavy artillery of the aforemen tioned B. Smith.

Stutz No. 3, driven by Anderson, until the 489th mile safe In second place withdrew because of engine trouble. In the 482nd mile Wishart nosed out mulford for fourth place and the latter dropped out of the race. This was the first appearance of this make car in America and the first appearance of Goux as a driver in the country. Both driver and car are noted abroad, however. The victory of C oux was a runaway after the first 100 miles. In addition to the $30,000 first prize and about $10,000 offered by accessory makers, the winner was also awarded the Remy Trophy, for the first 200 miles; the Pres-to-Lite Trophy for 300 miles and the $10,000 Wheeler and Schebler Trophy for 400 miles. Goux set a new speedway and world's record for 500 miles for cars of this size. In addition he proved to be the first man to win the race by driving the full 500 miles without the assistance of a relief driver.

The race was spectacular in the ex treme despite the fact that no driver was killed in acidents. Several ac cidents happened and the hospital corps was kept J)usy with mor.er in juries. On the seventy-ninth lap “Wild Bob’* Burman who had been setting an eighty-two mile an hour clip was put out of the race temporarily by a leak In the gasoline tank. The Keeton was stopped at the pit and the car re paired. Hughle Hughes relief driver took “Wild Bob’s” place when the car whirled out again. Burman had been driving at the rate of eighty-two miles an hour The excitement, the continual hard luck that he encountered and the strain of driving in the face of the torridity of the atmosphere had weakened him so that he was unfit to go on with the race. Caleb Bragg in a Mercer came to grief at the north end of the course when the steering knuckle of the car broke. The machine plunged toward the edge of the course where a num ber of spectators stood. Bragg jam med on the brakes and stopped the car. Anderson In Second Place.
