“HANG GUILTY MAN.” SAYS FRANK
“I don’t know who is guilty, but I do
know that the man who murdered Mary
Phagan ought to be hanged.”
Leo M. Frank made this statement to
Sheriff C. W. Mangum, when he made his
tour of the prison Friday. Mangum said
this was the only statement or reference to
the cime Frank had made since he had
been in the Tower. He said Frank looked
him squarely in the eye and talked like an
innocent man.

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. Column Five.

Half-Breed Negro
Arrested in Search
For Stevens Slayer
Dan Walker, a *half-breed negro,
was taken into custody late Friday
afternoon, in connection with the
hunt for the slayer of Mrs. Sallie
C. Stevens and her daughter, Nellie,
on the McDonough Road.
Walkers arrest was caused as a re
sult of the reported connection of a
half-breed negro with the case. The
prisoner denies that he was in any
manner implicated in the crime, or
even knew about it until his arrest.
The police are inclined to believe his
story, but will hold him for further
investigation.

INDIANAPOLIS SPEEDWAY, May
30—Jules Goux, driving the French-

International race here to-day.
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. His vic
tory w'as clear-cut and due to hie
wonderfully cool, heady driving from
start to finish.
Race Is Spectacular.
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

car.
