CONLEY KEPT ON CHILL 4 nouns After Gruelling Third Degree, Officials Refuse to Deny or Affirm Negro Confessed. Jim Conley underwent a racking third degred late Friday afternoon at the hands of Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey and Attorney Frank A. Hooper In an effort to verify or dis credit the W. H. Mincey affidavit, in which the negro was charged with confessing to the murder of a girl on the afternoon that Mary Phagan met her death. The grilling of nearly four hours followed The Georgian’s publication of the details of Mincey's accusa tions and was undertaken with the utmost secrecy, an attempt being made to avoid knowledge of the "sweating" becoming public by tak ing Conley to the Commissioners' room on the second floor of the po lice station by a clrcuitoue route. Negm’e Most Severe Ordeal. It was 'the most severe ordeal through which the negro has passed. Its result was kept a profound secret both by the Solicitor and Attorney Hooper. Neither would deny the ru mor that Conley had made a com* plete confession admitting that it was he that killed the little factory girl, nor would they confirm the report, which arose when it was learned that Solicitor Dorsey apparently was mak’_ ing ready to take an entirely new statement from the negro. Dorsey, Hooper and Chief Lanford were present in the Commissioners' room when the inquisition began. After a few minutes Chief Lanford departed and did not return while the questioning was In progress. He was Inclined to deny at first that Conley even was behind the closed doors. But occuiar proof had been afforded and the newspaper men hov ered about the hallway In the hope that some scrap of information might come to them. Policeman Guards Door. Their hovering tactics received a bad setback when Chief Lanford de tailed a policeman to guard the door and keep all inquisitive persons away. For an hour Dorsey and Hooper alternated in shooting questions at the negro, apparently without getting anything from him that he had not already told. Then they removed choir coats and renewed the grilling. At one point it seemed Conley must have wavered in some of his state ments or changed some of the testi mony he previously had given. Dor sey emerged from the room and got a blotter from Chief Beavers' office. It was taken to mean that a new statement was being obtained from the negro The questioning was resumed and the Solicitor from a distant vantage point could be seen turning sheet aft er sheet of the testimony already given by Conley and comparing it with the statements then being made. Attorneys Keep Silence. Dorsey, eoatless and perspiring, leaned far over the table and asked the negro question after question, his finger following the answers which had been given when the negro was interrogated before. Not until after dark did the sweat ing process cease. Conley was taken back to his cell and Dorsey and Jloop er went to their homes. Not a word could be obtained from either. Another scene in the murder mys tery was to be staged Saturday in the court of Judge Ellis. Here Attorney Bernard L. Chapped summoned half a hundred witnesses to testify in the habeas corpus proceedings he was bringing to free Newt Lee from the Tower. Leo M. Frank, under indict ment charged with the murder of Mary Phagan, and Jim Conley, aolf confeseed accessory after the fact, were two of the witnesses called. They were expected to testify that »o far as they knew Newt Lee could have had nothing to do with the crime and could have had no material know ledge of It. / DEFENSE TO PUT UP HOT EIGHT Slaying Warrant Persecution in | Will Case, Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford Declares. A murder warrant will be served on Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford by a dep uty from the Sheriff's office some time Saturday morning. The paper was received by Sheriff C. Wheeler Mangum early Saturday morning. He made preparations to have it served at the earliest possible moment. It wa> signed by C. W. Baukin, Coroner of Carroll County, under date of July 10, and charged Mrs. Crawford with the murder, by poisoning, of her husband, Joshua B. Crawford, In ths county of Fulton, on or about March 27, 100». The war rant Is returnable to the Fulton County courts. The Sheriff haa no authority to fix • bond, and Mrs. Crawford will have to be held in the Tower unless at a preliminary hearing before a Justice of the peace a bond ia fixed or she is exonerated. Mre. Crawford will demand an im mediate hearing, and the attorneys who have represented her in the con tent for the $2(0,000 estate will plead her case before the Justice of the peace Reuben Arnold and Luther Z. Rosser, attorneys for Leo M. Frank, are among her counsel. Hold Criminal Hearing. This action in the famous will case will shift the scene of notion from the hearing before an auditor, a strictly civil procedure, to a criminal hearing before a magistrate that will consume the greater part of the day and be a bittor legal battle. It will force Colonel J. S. Janies, attorney for the dissenting heirs-at law, who had the body of Crawford exhumed after four years, and who introduced what he termed "a part of his evidence of poisoning," to pro duce all the evidence at bls command and a rehearsal of the evidence of Dr. H. F. Harris, of the State Board of Health. Attorney Arnold said Mrs. Craw ford would be completely exonerated at the prospective hearing before a Justice of the peace. He said the ac tion was nothing more than a move to "force” civil procedure. “We have had experts at work, too," said Arnold. "Dr. J. W. Hurt, the Coroner’s physician for this coun ty, was Crawford's attending physi cian, He will testify that he himself gave Crawford the medicine that con tained morphine, or opium, and we wiH have at least eight or ten of ths most prominent medical experts in Atlanta to substantiate his state ments and evidence. We also will conclusively demonstrate that Craw ford died of pneumonia. Persecution Io Claimed. “It is nothing more than persecu tion to push such a flimsy charge as this. The Coroner’s inquest was not legal, or according to latv, and the whole thing is Just a flash in the pan.” Feeling is bitter between the con testing parties, and the Sheriff's of fice feared trouble at the preliminary hearing, which prooab’y will be to day. "It is not really the Crawford heirs who are fighting me.” said Mrs Craw ford, "but the rather distant rela tives who were not mentioned in any will. I settled with the real heirs ac cording to the will left by Mr. Craw ford's first wife. Every one was satisfied. “I gave Charlie Crawford more than he was even entitled to by the will that wae made before I even knew the man I later married. He thanked I me for the generosity by later letting ' the very distant relatives prevail upon him to fight me. He deeded [ them an interest in his share of the Centmued en Page 2. Column 6.

South Georgia JFTERNOON EDITION CHIEF SPUDS POLICE TO WARUN VICE ———— ' "*"** Grills Sleuths for Laxity and Theatens 'Suspensions—Girls to Bare “Ring.” Smarting under the lash of a severe grilling given them by Chief Beavers late Friday after noon. the members of the de tective department have entered the campaign against vice with renewed vigor. One of the results of the Chief’s criticism of the depart ment was the making of a new case against Hattie Smith Satur day morning by Detectives Hol lingsworth and Rosser. In his conference with the detective department late Friday afternoon, which was held in Chief Lanfod’r of fice behind closed doors. Chief Beav ers took the detectives severely to task for their laxity in reporting vic* eases. He Intimated strongly that the detective* were not doing their duty and not getting results. Makes Suspension Threat. "it is as much your duty as it is the duty of any other man on the force," Chief Beavers Is said to have told them, “to report the existence of vice. In the future all knowledge gained by detectives as to the exist ence of immoral resorts must be re ported at once to headquarters. If you personally are engaged on some other case and hav.e not time to work the vice case, report It so some one else can Investigate and make the case.” Chief Beavers urged the detectlvaa to greater activity in the war against vice, and declared that they would tare the same as uniformed men if it was shown that they know of immoral houses and do not report them. They will be promptly suspended, the chief said. Sudden change In the plans of Chief Beavers in the vice probe resulted Saturday morning in the trial of per sons involved before Recorder Broyles. Hattie Smith, Mrs Lola White, Hoyt Monroe and Paul Estes were bound over on SIOO bond to the Superior Court of DeKalb County on the charge of disorderly conduct, grow ing out of a “Joy ride." A sensation was produced in the court room when Hattie Smith re | fused to offer any testimony either af firming or denying the charges. How ever, Recorder Broyles found the four parties guilty on the testimony of the other three, who admitted that they took a “Joy ride" to DeKalb County. As a result of the .decision of the Re corder, the four parties will be triea in the Superior Court of DeKalb County at the coming session of this court. Girl to Give Names. The Wilson girl has told I'hisf Beavers through Plainclothes Offi cers Green and McKibben that she will tell everything she knows about vice in Atlanta when she is placed on the witness stand. The Rothste.u girl, who, the police say. is the leader of the pair in their immoral enter prises, has not indicated such a will ingness to talk, but she has intimated that she will reveal the names of a number of men with whom she has had illegal relations, some of whom, she asserts, are prominent in the , business world. Chief Beavers and Recorder Broyles expect the story of the Vt ilson girl to be more important and more sen sational than the startling tale of Hattie Smith, who implicated half a dozen well known Atlantans and three hotels in her statements. The fives of the Wilson girl and of Dora Rothstein, since the Fourth of July, the police declare, have been of al most iinb«Llw»bl{> JC-aey
