Stone of Taliaferro, frequently is as many as 106 members of the General Assembly at one time, and sometimes he Is a? many as 150. Stone passes all the local bills. When one is up for passage. Clerk John T. Boifeuillet glances hastily in the direction of Stone, of Taliaferro, sees double, quadruple or sextuple, a dozen or so times, a? the necessities of the occasion require, and an nounces, in stentorian tones. “On the passage of the bill, the ayes are 116 and the nays none!” Stone knows that Is him—that is, he knows he is the 116! Of course, he couldn’t be the “none.” Stone conscientiously votes on all local bills. He would as soon think of forgetting his breakfast as forget ting to vote on a local bill. Some members think Stone has a spite against himself or is doing pen. ance for something, in that he never fails to hold up his hand when a local measure Is hustling through, but Clerk Boifeuillet knows good and well that he can depend on Stone to pass ’em along, and that’s why he always looks to Stone alone for the votes needed.

Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia: Local showers Monday and Tuesday. The Grand Jury Monday de cided to take no action at this time looking to the indictment of James Conley, accuser of Leo M. Frank in the murder of Mary Phagan. The Grand Jury came to its de cision after Solicitor General Dorsey had presented a mass of evidence to show why the in dictment of the negro would hamper the prosecution of Frank. After more than an hour’s con ference the Solicitor issued this statement: “I am requested by the Grand Jury to say no action will be taken at this time on the James Conley matter, and that that body will not pay any attention whatever to anonymous communications.” It is known that the Grand Jury has been flooded with letters on the Pha^ gan case, many of them urging actl*>r on Conley, and many unsigned. Quotes Court Decision. A recent Supreme Court decision was cited by Solicitor Dorsey to the Grand Jury when he demanded "hands off” on the Conley indictment. The decision says of the Solicitor: "Ho is to determine whether or not to commence a particular prosecution, or to discontinue one already begun. The Solicitor General draws the bill of indictment and examines the wit nesses, not with a view to the inter est of any client, but alone to sub serve public Justice. “The whole prosecution from the time the case is laid before him is under his direction, supervision and control.—102 Georgia, page 271.” Delay in Trial Rumored. The impression gained ground Mon day that a postponement of the trial of F*rank was probable. It was re ported that the defense would make a move to effect this before the case comes up on June 28. Both Luther Z. Rosser and Reuben Arnold, Frank’s counsel, denied this. Mr. Arnold declared he and his col leagues were confident of securing the acquittal of their client and, therefore, were ready to go to trial at any time. According to Solicitor Dorsey, Judge L. S. Roan, who will try the case, is not particularly anxious that it come up at this time. Says Judge Favors Delay. 'T was talking with Judge Roan a short time ago,” said the Solicitor, “and from his conversation I gathered that he would rather the trial did not come up before fall, though he did not say so outright.” Shortly before noon Jim Conley was taken from his cell at police head quarters and spirited off in an auto mobile by Detectives Starnes and Campbell, the officers who have had complete charge of the negro for several weeks. Inquiry failed to reveal the destination or purpose of this action. The negro was out of his cell less than an hour and on his re turn the same strict secrecy was maintained. Solicitor Dorsey was the only per son asked to appear before the ju rors. Before they assembled he as serted that he was entirely confident that no indictment would be returned against the negro. “I can not conceive that these men, when they are in possession of the facts of the case, seriously will con sider bringing an indictment for mur der against Conley,” said the Solici tor. Foreman Beattie indicated that if a. quorum were present and** dtolMoq
