THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. Anxious to See if Conley Will Stick to Latest Confession Under Dramatic Test. Continued From Page 1. 'book here, Mr. Frank, they’re going to think that means me.’ Hut 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 all. I thought they all lived here— so I w rote 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 I 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 1 needed It. Yes, sir, Mr. Frank was 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. 1 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. Kach time when the remark was 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 thRt he Upheld 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 inove 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, “never meant to kill that girl. No, sir, he never had no idea like 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.”' Clings Close to Details. The rest of this chapter of the heartbreaking story ha* been told and retold since The Georgian presented Conley’s affidavit. The negro clung tenaciously to the details us 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 jjjlong lines which the detectives have pUdicated they will take. The replies, jfcvn 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.

Adv lite City Park Now Open A 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 bame 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 Sehiff, 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 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 It* 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 stagerv 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, dashed 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 Girl* 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 brflshed past and 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 n reproduction of all that Conley de clared took place after he heard tin* two low whistles with which Frank was to signal him. With the detectives following him closely and clustering about nim 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. Does Not Break Down. If the detectives hoped that the plan of bringing Conley right to the scene of the tragedy would break him dowrn and force 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 be in a tragedy of the sort. He never faltered nor hesitated. Yet he reproduced in startling detail every movement and ec rv convert* ition cf importance which he said took place w hile the body of Man- Phagan was being hurried to the basement. Conley did not pretend too £reat a knowledge. Occasionally when he va* asked a question In* would reply: “I don’t know, boss, 1 don't know/' He did not assume to quote Frank ver batim in many instances. If he was lying, it was ;t most amazing fabri cation he built up. He told more than His Objection Was Overruled and He Drank ‘Famous’ Beer, Witness Testifies. Conley Star Actor in Dramatic Third Degree 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 s 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 times 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. “She was layln’ jus’ like this when I found her,” the negro said easily, and dropped on his stomach to the floor near the metal room. He had been unshackled so that he might go through all the movements that were necessary in telling precisely how the girl’s body was disposed of. Conley told of his terror when he had discovered that the girl was dead, but there was no terror In his voice as he related his story. Throughout, hts tone was matter of fact and his motions free as though he were giving the description of some commonplace Incident that might have occurred in his daily rou tine as sweeper at the factory. How He Carried Body. “I carried her jus’ this way,” he remarked, and he .went through ex actly the motions that one would use In shouldering a bag of grain. Relating a moment later how the girl's body became too heavy nnd he called Frank to his assistance, he added one of the little descriptive de tails of his recital by saying: "Thif is where Frank got nervous and dropped the girl’s feet. They dragged on the floor. He had hold of the cloth that I had wrapped her in and was walking like this. I guess he Just was so nervous he let go." A little later as the party arrived at the elevator down which the negro said the girl's body was taken. Con ley remarked that he had 1o wait there at the elevator while Frank went to the tofflee to get the key to the door. | Employees Show Curiosity. As the elevator passed down with its* load of detectives, a large crowd of the factory employees could be seen gathered in the corridor* 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 Sehiff shouted at him, and there were no more prying eye? 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 first floor after the body had been dis posed of. Left Indelible Picture. 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. They saw a man, a white man. standing at the top of steps lead ing from the second floor down to the first. He was signaling some one. A negro answered the signal. They saw the horrified face of the black man a few moments later bend ing over a huddled form at the rear of the building. The form was that of a little girl. She was dead. They saw her wrapped in a rough piece of crocus bagging on the shoulders of the stocky negro. Her head hung limply from one end of the bagging. Her legs dangled from the other. Drops Heavy Bundle. When the burden became too heavy, the spectators in this grim drama saw the body dropped to the floor and the white man come cursing from a doorway where he had been direct ing the negro. Then the white man took up the feet of the girl victim and the negro the shoulders. They carried her a few feet and the white man in his nervous fright loosed his hold on the bagging and the body dropped again. The little party saw. almost as plainly as though they had witnessed it, the body carried to the elevator, the white man hurrying to the of fice to get the key and then running the elevator down himself, standing with one foot on one side of an ex- MARQUETTE, MICH.. May 81.- Colonel Roosevelt lent himself to the fame of Milwaukee on one of his trips there to the extent of drinking some of the locally brewed beer, over his own protest, according to one of the Colonel’s witnesses in his libel suit against Editor George A. Newett, of The Ishpeming Iron Ore, which was resumed to-day. The amount the Colonel drank, however, was only a swallow. W. Emelin Roosevelt, a cousin of the former President. was the first witness. His testimony was short, following the cour.^e of previous tes timony as to the Colonel’s use of liquors. He was followed on the stand by William Loeb, Jr., former private secretary to Roosevelt and collector of the port of New York. AH-Day Session. It was expected that the court would hold only a half session to day, but when the session convened Judge Richard F^lannagan announced that owing to yesterday’s holiday he felt that the case should be pushed as rapidly as possible and that an afternoon session would be held. William Loeb was questioned by Attorney Pound. "Extremely moderate” was his characterization of the former Presi dent’s use of Intoxicating liquors.

A.—He drank a glass of champagne In pledging Speaker Cannon’s health. The witness on cross-examination said the Colonel, since he retired from the Presidency, had lunched at his house and had partaken of cham pagne which was served. Enticed at Milwaukee. Frank T. Yeree, United State? mar shal for West Virginia, was the next witness. In reply to questions he said he was the personal secret service guard of Colonel Roosevelt when he was President. Q.—Did you ever see any indica tion? that he was under the influence of liquor? A.—I should say not. Q.—In all your acquaintance with the plaintiff, what have you seen him drink? A.—A little sauterne mixed with apnolinarls or white rock. Q—How much whisky have you seen him drink? A.—I never saw Colonel Roosevelt take .a drfYik of whisky Q.—Ever see him drink any beer? A.—Yes, in May, 1903, he was visit ing in Milwaukee and went to a re ception tendered him by the Deutscher Club. He was invited to have some- beer and replied that he did not drink beer. They urged him. however, tell ing him it was what made Milwaukee famous. Then he raised the glas-'s to his lips and took a swallow of the beer. That’s the only beer I ever saw him take. Wilson’s Guard Testifies. James Sloan, who was Tyree’s re lief as constant secret service com panion of Colonel Roosevelt while President, and now a personal guard to President Wilson, gave testimony similar to other Roosevelt witnesses.

MARQUETTE, MICH., May 31.— Colonel Roosevelt thinks he’s had a hard and expensive year. He said: “It’s tough when a man gets shot up and has a wedding in his family and gets into a libel suit all in one year. That bullet in Milwaukee cost me about $3,000; the wedding about the same. I’ve no idea what this af fair is going to cost me.” tended leg of the girl and the other foot on the other side. In the Dim Basement. The tragic panorama then repre sented the two lifting the mutilated body out of the elevator, the negro carrying it past the dimly burning gas light and into the darkness at the other end of the basement. Mean while the other stood guard at the trap door lest anyone interrupt them at their grewsome work. Then the negro ran the elevator up. the white man climbing up through the trap door and meeting the eleva tor at the first floor. A graphic pic ture was presented of the white man as he stumbled from the elevator in his frenzy of fear at what he had done and of his terrified actions after he had reached his office. His face blanched and then went red. He wrung his hands as though in abject terror, according to the story of the black man. He muttered: "Why should I hang?” and mentioned rich relatives in Brooklyn who would help the negro financially. He gave the negro $200 and then took it away from him. He said it would be all right, that the negro would get the money Monday. Air of Calm Finality. All this the negro told and told it with an air of calm finality that convinced the officers where they had doubted his other stories. They real ized when they walked from the gray- black building that they had passed through one of the most remarkable experiences of their lives The ne gro had told a startling and grewsome story. He had related it as though it were a matter of little moment. The tale was not without its improb abilities. but these were swept away in the minds of the detectives by the assurance of the black man and his many references to incidents that seemed impossible of invention in any human mind unless they actually had taken place. MACON, GA., May 31.—Colonel William Arnold Huff, the 82-year- old ex-Mayor of Macon, will next Tuesday know whether or not he will have to serve a jail sentence, pay a fine or go free on the con tempt of court charge filed against him by Judge Emory Speer, of the Un ited States Court for the Southern district of Geor gia.
