MOTHER OF ACCUSED
IN THE PHAGAN CASE
LS OF TRAGEDY
Slaton Refuses to
Call Out Troops to
Guard Grady Negro
Governor Slaton refused by wire
Monday to rail out the militia at Al
bany for the protection of Ed LaoonL
the negro, accused of trying to mur
der the Bodiford family. The re
quest was made by County Commis
sioner Wight.
The Governor said Monday morn
ing he had received a telegram from
Sheriff C. C. Barbee, of Grady Coun
ty, in which the Sheriff stated he had
the negro in custody and would pro
tect him en route to Macon, although
an attack is anticipated. The Gover
nor added that he personally would
write to Sheriff Barbee commending
him for his sta>d.

THE WEATHER.
Forecast for Atlanta and
Georgia.—Fair Monday and
Tuesday.
Jim Conley, the accuser of Leo Frank, was placed
under the merciless fire of Luther Rosser’s crcss-exami
nation Monday afternoon in a determined effort to
break down the sensational story he told the morning
and to force confessions incriminating to himself.
He soon involved Conley in a maze of dates. The
negro palpably was confused, but he had not as yet been
attacked as to the essentials of his accusation against
Frank.
The attorney reserved his most powerful batteries
for the time he should train his guns on the tale Gf the
occurences the day of the tragedy.
Attorney Rosser started in slowly on his cross-
examination of Conley in the afternoon, but gained mo
mentum as he progressed. The negro evidently was
in for a tedious and searching cross-questioning.
If Rosser intended to use the bullying, badgering
tactics that routed and humiliated City Detective John
Black, he did not evidence it in the early part of his
questioning. As he proceeded, however, his questions
gained in force and rapidity. The friendly, ingratiat
ing attitude he had borne toward the negro fell from
him and he stood a hostile and menacing figure before
the witness chair.
At first, in tones almost kindly, he asked Conley of
a hundred intimate details of his life. He asked him
where he had lived, who had been his sweethearts, where
he had worked and when, when he started to work at
the pencil factory, how many times he had been in
prison, of whom he got his pay, how much he received,
and of the incidents that happened on the occasions
when Conley said he guarded the door for Frank when
the superintendent had women in his office.
Conley repeated, under Rosser’s questioning, the
story of frequent trysts at the factory kept by other
couples. The names of Daisy Hopkins and a Mr. Dal
ton figured prominently. It was here that William M.
Smith, Conley’s lawyer, told the newspaper men that
Dalton was in the courthouse and. would be called to
corroborate these details of the negro’s story.
There were no women in the courtroom at the aft
ernoon session, Judge Roan having issued an order
barring them.
Black Story Accusing Frank.
As black and revolting a story as ever told to a
Georgia jury held a packed courtroom bound with hor
ror and irresistible interest Monday.
Leo M. Frank, brilliant young superintendent of
the National Pencil Factory, was pointed out as the bru
tal murderer of little Mary Phagan and a degenerate
of the worst type.
James Conley, an illiterate negro leveled his fin
ger at Frank in the prisoner’s chair and said: “That’s
the man!”
It was Conley’s story for which an eager public—a
morbidly curious public, perhaps—had been waiting.
The story came with an unexpected wealth of horrible
detail.
The negro forgot nothing, omitted nothing that he
had told before. If be was telling a black lie to save
his own neck from the gallows, it was still more wonder
ful. l ie had a remarkably retentive memory or an imag
ination far beyond the normal even for his notably im
aginative race. .«- -
Says Frank Admitted Killing.
Frank told him Tie had killed the girl accidentally.
That was the negr*s first and entirely new datming
