2 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, COHTFUK Anxious to See if Conley Will Stick to Latest Confession Under Dramatic Test. Continued From Page 1. full confession, If he know* any more about the crime than he already has told. Silent Regarding the Ceee. In the event that the meeting 1m arranged, It will be the first time that Frank has broken his silence In re gard to the case. He may have talked of It to members of his own family, but his most Intimate friends say that he has played cards with their and conversed freely on the topics of the day as he has read of them In the dally papers, but that he never has discussed the Phagan mystery dlnsct- ly and at length. Some of his friends have been with him every hour of every day since he has been In the cell at the Tower. They have been most loyal to the imprisoned man. They declare that he never has mentioned the subject to any of the attaches of the jail, except occasion ally to the Sheriff himself. And then it waa In an almost impersonal man ner. “I do not know who is guilty," he Mild, "but whoever he is, he should hang." Conley Is Ready to Pay Penalty as Accomplice. "Yea. sir, I guess maybe it’s All over with me. I suppose they’re going to hang me or send me to the peniten tiary for life, but I done told the truth. "When the Sheriff puts the rope around my neck, I’m going to say: ’“Stop; wait a minute. I know I did wrong. I tried to hide that dead girl s body and I ought to be punished, but before God I didn’t kill her.’ " , - Jim Conley, negro sweeper, whose confession that he helped Leo M. Frank dispose of the body of Mary Phagan after the superintendent had killed her, created a profound sensa tion, peered through the bars of his cell In the Fulton Tower and pro nounced his readiness to die for his crime as an accomplice, and in the same breath protested his Innocence of the actual murder. Ready to Face Frank. "I am ready right now," he said, "to face Mr. Frank. I’ll look him right in the eye and I’ll say. ‘You know 1 didn’t kill that girl, Mr. Frank, and you know I’m telling the truth to these white folks.' ’’ Conley declared again that Frank wrote one note himself. He said he had written the "long, tall black negro message" on "single-ruled, white pa per from a tablet." He asserted that Frank wrote something on paper not ■white, but a shade of green or gray— paper that he thought had the letter head of the National Pencil Company factory on It. It has always been taken for grant ed that the two notea are the work of one man. The paper <>f neither c«»r responds to that described by Conley as the kind Frank used. What does Conley's aseertion signify? Harassed by questioners, bombard ed with hostile queries, importuned and threatened in an effort to get at the truth in the terrible penoil fac tory mystery—in the minds of many a mystery no longer—this negro with stood every attempt to shake the re markable story he unfolded to the detectives in the startling confession affidavit and re-enacted at the scene of the crime itself. Sticks Close to Story. Like an unwinding panorama, he laid before his questioners in the elo quent, if often almost incoherent, jar gon of Decatur Street the shifting scenes in the grim tragedy which reached its great climax Friday, but in which the greatest battle is yet to be fought in the courts of Fulton County. One thing is certain; Those who have thought that it will be easy for a skillful lawyer to tear the negro’s story into tatters must revise their judgment. From careful rehearsal, studied drilling or the indelible im- pressior. of ghastly tragedy, the pris oner has learned his lesson wall. From whatever angle he is attacked he tells the same narrative. Under cajolery or abuse he is unchanged. "1 waited and waited, boss,” he said. "I thought Mr. Frank would sure see me. I thought maybe we could have a talk and maybe everything would be all right, but he never would see me. I* tried once and I tried twice and 1 tried again, but Mr. Frank never would see me. So, I guessed it was just about time for me to tell the truth. It looked like Mr. Frank couldn’t get out of it after all. and it was all up, so I told the truth.’’ Looks Little Like Novelist. A shiny-skinned. close-cropped, thick-chested, low-browed negro Is Jim Conley—with eyes smiling or sin ister an his mood changes—like a thousand and one other negroes that make faithful servants or troublesome prisoners as their footsteps happen to fall, and if the story he tells is the product of hie imagination he belies appearances. It may be he has learned his tale as a child learns a fairy story until It sees the goblins as it plays in the twilight. It may be that constant turning over of them in his mind as he lay in r. police cell for three weeks, that constant repetition has made the details come readily to his lips. The lesson is learned. There is no doubt of that. "Jim, why did you write the notes’”’ he was asked. "Didn’t it strike you that ‘long tall black negro,’ would be taken to mean you?” "Yes, sir," said Conley, readily. 'It did and I tole Mr. Frank so. 1 said, 'Look here, Mr. Frank, they’re going to think that means me.’ But Mr. Frank said he just wanted it to send to his mother, so his mother wouldn’t think he done it, and he told me he had powerful wealthy folks in Brook lyn—that was the first time I ever heard he had rich folks up North at ite'City Park Now Open The Georgian-American Pony Contest VOTE COUPON CARRIERS' AND AGENT8’ BALLOT. 5 VOTES NOT GOOD AFTER JUNE 15, 1913.

UNDERWOOD GA RULE WILL BE PUT Tl TEST Democrats Resent Effort to Bind Them Not to Enact Laws Leader Opposes. WASHINGTON, May 31.—Majority Leader Underwood’s control of the House will be put to a test Monday In the Democratic caucus. House Democrats to-day declared that, while Underwood was able to apply the "gag” when the tariff bill was being put through, it was not at all cer tain he would be able to do so this time. Underwood proposes. It was learned, to have the caucus pass a resolution binding all Democratic members to refrain from enacting any legislation during the present seHslon except a brief presentation which Underwood will specify. The resolution will set forth that there be no legislation except the final enactment of the tariff bill Into law, passage of a banking and currency bill, the passage of a deficiency ap propriation bill. If the Underwood resolution Is adopted all kinds of private bills in which many new members are Inter ested will be barred from considera tion. It was said the resolution probably will be adopted. In all the grim annals of Atlanta’s criminal history an illiterate negro, Jim Conley, stands out to-day the principal figure in one of the most remarkable and dramatically impres sive "third degrees" ever administer ed by the city police. A chief of police, ordinarily stolid and unmoved, and chief of detectives and members of his force, a Pinker ton operative—all men in daily touch with every sort of crime and evil— hung with tensest interest on each word as it came from the lips of the negro, and watched, as wide-eyed as any tyro in man-hunting, the negro’s every move as he re-enacted Friday afternoon what he steadfastly assert ed was his part In the ghastly Mary Phagan tragedy. Factory Men Look On. Dumb under the spell of the drama in which Conley played a triple role— first in his own personality, then as Leo M. Frank, and, finally, as the young girl victim—two employees of the factory listened to the damning accusations that unconcernedly, al most glibly, were made against their superintendent. They were Herbert Schiff, chief clerk, and E. F. Hollo- day, the timekeeper. Both had reckoned Frank innocent. They had said many times that he could not have committed the shock all. I thought they all lived here — so I wrote what he told me.”. Frank Always Good to Him. Now this reply, as It is given, sounds Incoherent and preposterous, but it is given just as Conley gave It and no amount of questioning could change it. "How long did you know Mr. Frank?” was another question. "I guess 1 must a known Mr. Frank (Conley kept scrupulously to the "mis ter” throughout) for about two years. Yes, sir, he was always a good boss to me. There was never no trouble about my getting money if I needed it. Yes, sir. Mr. Frank waa always pretty good to me.” "And now you’re telling a story, Jim, that may cost a good boss his life.” ‘ Well,’ I had to do it. That’s all there was to It. I had to tell the truth. I waited and waited for Mr. Frank to do something and when he didn’t I just reckoned he couldn’t and It was about all up.” Three distinct times during the questioning Conley let drop remarks that might truthfully be Interpreted as jubilation that another man was in as bad a plight as he. Shows Little Sorrow. Each time when the remark was j called to his attention he protested that he had no feelings of malice against Frank and that he was not eager to see him suffer. In spite of his protests, it was very plain that he beheld with little sorrow the pre dicament of the man he accuses. The stumbling block of premedita tion Conley removed entirely. He ex plained without any apparent hesita tion that Frank had told him Friday that he should report Saturday to move some boxes of pencils that had been reposing on one shelf for about two years. He was absolutely certain that the killing was accidental. "Mr. Frank,” said Conley, "neve** meant to kill that girl. No. sir. he never had no idea Mike that. When he come running to me and said. ‘Jim. want to make some money quick,’ and I said yes, he said 'I picked up a girl back there and let her fall and her head hit against something,’ and he told me to get a cloth, and I ran back and I looked down and i saw a girl lying on the floor, all still, and her head was cut, and I hollered, ’Why, Mr. Frank, this girl’s dead.’ ” The rest of this chapter of the heartbreaking story has been told and retold since The Georgian presented Conley’s affidavit. The negro clung tenaciously to the details as he gave them to the detectives. He added that he had heard no scream, but accounted for that by the distance he was from the scene of the killing, according to his story—sev eral hundred feet, he thought. He declared that a piece of the girl's skirt had been torn away. Cer tain grim questions were put to him along lines which the detectives have indicated they will take. The replies, given hesitatingly and with apparent unwillingness, were sinister and un mentionable. but they will play a for bidding part in the trial of Frank. Conley asserted that he could not explain the torn-away staple on the back door In the basement. He as serted also that he had not put the death notes beside the body. FOR PHYSICAL EXHAUSTION T«k» Hertford's Add Phosphate Eapeclalh., recommended for physical and men tal exh*us> n, ncusneas and n?«Ji digestion. Adr. ing deed. More likely, they had de clared, it was the negro himself. Yet here they were the spectators of a grewsome performance in which Frank was represented as nervous and shaking and half in a panic as he directed the carrying of Mary Phagan’s limp and lifeless body to the elevator on the second floor of the factory and down into the dark and dirt-strewn basement. Theatric in Its Appeal. Every incident and every circum stance added to the theatric and powerful appeal as Conley duplicated detail by detail the movements he said were made that fatal afternoon of April 26. No atagery could have been more Impressive with weeks of planning by the detectives. The sin ister. gray-black factory, itself, threw a spell of silence upon the little group of detectives and police as they en tered the forbidding doorway. A score of girls, a number of them of Just about the age of Mary Pha gan, were Just inside the door when the automobile of Chief Beavers, its curtains tightly drawn, clashed up to the front of the building during the noon hour. Their chatter and laugh ter instantly was stilled. It had been more than a month since their young companion had been taken from them by a mysterious crime and they had been able to forget some of its tragic details, but now the spectacle of a stern blue-coated officer, a squad of keen-eyed detectives and a shackled black man brought back the tragedy in all its first horror. Young Girls Shudder. Some of the girls, pitifully young and helpless looking, pressed back against the wall and stood there with distended eyes and afrlghted manner as the men brushed past anu mounted to the second floor. Several of the older girls gave hysterical little laughs which died in their throats when they noted the dead stillness that marked the passage of the officers and their prisoner. Then followed during the very hour in which Mary Phagan is believed to have met her death on April 26 a reproduction of all that Conley de clared took place after he heard the two low whistles with which Frank was to signal him. With the detectives following him closely and clustering about him each time he stopped tc make an explanation, the negro start ed at the point he said he first saw the dead body and went through the building exactly as he claimed he did on the afternoon he bore the tragic burden to the elevator, down to the basement and then to the dark cor ner near the furnace. Do«s Not Break Down. If the detectives hoped that the plan of bringing Conley right to the scene of the tragedy would break him down and for.*e him to confess that it was he alone, and not Frank, who com mitted the crime, they were disap pointed. The negro proved himself either a most consummate actor or a man who finally was telling the truth. He was letter perfect, so far as a person could he in a tragedy of the sort. He never fa’tercd nor hesitated. Yet he reproduced in startling detail every movement and every conversation of! importance which he said took placa while the body of Marv Phagan was being hurried to 'he basement. Conley did not pretend too great a knowledge. Occasionally when he was Convicts Her Insulter and Regains Husband +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ +•+ '+•+ Pretty Atlanta Matron Nips Scandal in Bud had cleared her name and won back the love of her husband. Mrs. Charles Kugler, who won fight to clear her name and wins back estranged husband by convicting her accuser. asked a question he would reply: "I don’t know, boss, I don’t know." He did not assume to quote Frank ver batim in many instances. If he was lying, it was a most amazing fabri cation he built up. He told more than enough to demonstrate conclusively that he knew all about the disposal of the body. He told enough of his alleged conversations with Frank to indicate strongly that they actually took place, but he did not go into such a wealth of detail as to give the im pression that his whole story was a mass of lies so far as Frank’s connec tion with the affair was concerned. However, Conley’s credibility will be a matter for the court to decide. Several tim<*s before he has related stories of his movements the day of the crime and has afterward admitted them false or imperfect. Displays Little Emotion. Conley displayed little or no emo tion in his remarkable recital. Rath er than detracting from the dramatic impression, this accentuated it. He impersonated the actors in the black tragedy with such unconcern and ap parent fidelity to detail that the de tectives were forced to feel that they were witnessing an almost exact re production of what took place after Mary Phagan was killed the after noon of April 26. Employees Show Curiosity. As the elevator passed down with it?» load of detectives, a large crowd of the factory employees could be seen gathered in the corridors of the first floor eager to get a glimpse of what was going on. They peered through the openings in the elevator and after the officers and the negro had got to the bottom of the shaft and were making their way to the place the girl’s body was found by Newt Lee, one venturesome young fellow raised the trap door on the first floor and poked his head into the dim light of the basement. "Get out of there and shut that door.” Chief Clerk Schiff shouted at him, and there were no more prying eyes* directed at the strange proceed ings that were taking place. It was through this trap door that Conley said Frank made his way to the fir3t floor after the body had been dis posed of. When the remarkable recital was ended, all who had gone through the building with the negro had an in delible picture graven on their minds. It might not have been what actually took place at the factory the fatal day, but It was most realistic and im pressive. Mrs. Charles Kugler Wins Vindi cation in Charges Against Inspector Maddox. Pretty Mrs. Charles Kugler was a smiling and satisfied victor Saturday in her court fight which she had de clared she would continue until she had cleared her name and won back her husband. Inspector Henry H. Maddox, of the city sanitary department, the tale of whose insulting remarks to Mrs Kugler caused her husband to leave her in a rage, was fined $25.75 by Recorder Broyles and was in addi tion given a sound rating by the Re corder. “If you would look after the physi cal cleanliness of the city only and would leave the moral cleanliness in the hands of Chief Beavers, I fancy you and the city both would get along better,” said Recorder Broyles. "In the future I suggest that you do not make derogatory remarks about women, particularly when you are e*peaking on hearsay and with such a misty idea of the woman’s identity as you # were in this case.” Husband Also Scored. The husband also came in for a grilling through the indignant offices of Detective "Bob" Waggoner, who asked for permission to address the court and then asserted emphatically that a case ought to be made again?! Kugler for his strange and cruel treatment of his wife. Waggoner said that Mrs. Kugler had told him that her husband flew Into a fury and beat her when she told him of the remarks that Maddox had made to her and declared that he was going to quit her until she was able to clear her name. "There is no reason why you should have suspected this woman of any wrongdoing.” said Recorder Broyles Mrs. Kugler was forgiving and would not consent to any prosecution of her husband. She went from the Admits Making Remarks. Maddox, who was discharged from the sanitary department, as soon as the charges were filed against him, admitted to Recorder Broyles that he had made the remarks complained of. He said that he made them because he had been told by B. E. Rice, an other inspector, of a flashily gowned woman who lived on West Alexander Street and whom Rice had seen the day before in company with a man. Maddox said that when he visited the Kugler residence at 15 West Alex ander Street he supposed Mrs. Kug ler was the woman referred to and made the remarks to her. Rice was in court and testified tha' he mentioned no addresns in his con versation with Maddox. Rice was given an admonition similar to that received by Maddox.

A complete reconciliation was ef fected and the reunited couple left the station talking gayly^ Mrs. Kugler charged before the court that Maddox had insulted her last Wednesday by coming to her house in her husband’s absence and remarking that he had seen her on the street with another man the day before and had seen her go into 73 Fairlie Street with him.
