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
