Child Labor Bills
Killed; Alexander’s
Measure Is Tabled
All child labor legislation in the
present session of the General Assem
bly was killed in the Senate Tuesday
afternoon when President Randolph
Anderson’s substitute child labor bill
was defeated and the original bill,
framed by Hooper Alexander, was ta
bled.
The bill failed to provoke the usual
heated debate, although several Sen
ators spoke on both sides. President
Anderson and Senators Converse and
Tarver spoke in favor of the bill;
while Senators Stark, Turner and
Spinks led the light against it.
The bill provided among other
thing? that no child under 12 years
of age should be employed in fac
tories and workshops after 1913; that
no child under 13 year of age should
be employed after 1914; and that no
\hild under 14 should be employed
after 1915. After 1916. according to
the further provisions of the bill, no
child under 14 years should be em
ployed unless it was shown that such
child could read and write and had
attended at least twelve weeks of
school.

Frentz and Jorda; Luttrell and Han

First reference was made to the sensational affidavit of W.
H. Mincey, who swore Jim Conley told him he had killed a girl the
afternoon of April 26, late Tuesday afternoon in the course of
Luther Rosser’s grilling cross-examination of Conley.
Rosser went over the conversation, sentence by sentence, as
Mincey related it had occurred. At the end of each sentence Ros
ser shot at Conley:
“Didn’t you say that?”
To each interrogation, Conley answered:
“No, sah.”
For the first time Conley showed some sign of uneasiness. He
did not look directly at the attorney, but fidgeted about in his
chair. He maintained his denials to the end, however, and Rosser
was unable to shake him.
Rosser sprang a surprise by referring to another affidavit he
had in his hand and asking Jim Conley, who was still on the stand,
if it was not true that he had told Julia Fuss, a negro woman liv
ing near him, that Leo Frank was “as innocent as the angels in
Heoven”.
This is one of the many affidavits that the defense has in its
possession referring to Conley’s conduct and conversations imme
diately following the murder.
Julia Fuss’ affidavit declares that Conley came to her house
Monday and asked for the newspapers telling about the crime. She
said that he came again on Tuesday following the tragedy and
asked for the newspapers. Each time, the affidavit says, he made
the declaration in regard to Frank’s innocence.
Conley denied the assertions of the affidavits.
Rosser also made a determined effort to discredit Jim Con
ley’s story of the events at the pencil factory the afternoon
of the Phagan murder, so far as it connects Leo Frank with the
crime, by showing from the negro’s own statements that Frank
would not have had time to do all the things ascribed to him and
still get home at 1:30 in the afternoon. Much of the questioning
was with the evident purpose of wearing the negro down.
Reuben Arnold created a sensation at the opening of Tues
day afternoon’s session of the Frank trial by making a motion
that all of the revolting testimony concerning Leo Frank’s alleged
conduct before the day of Mary Phagan's murder be stricken out
of the records. He also demanded that all of Jim Conley’s testi-
money in reference to watching at the door at Frank’s direction
be expunged, except the time he claims he watched on the day
Mary Phagan was killed.
The contention resulted in practically a complete victory for
the defense after a bitter legal battle. Judge Roan said that he
would exclude from the records everything bearing on these al
leged instances, except the negro’s testimony as to what occurred
on the aceual day of the crime. He said, however, he would hold
himself ready to reverse his decision until he made his announce
ment to the jury Wednesday morning.
As the charges of degeneracy were being hurled at her hus
band by the Solicitor, young Mrs. Frank hung her head and finally
unable to endure the ordeal longer left the courtroom. When she
returned, her eyes were red and her cheeks flushed as from weep
ing. She breathed heavily and appeared to be making a brave
effort to regain her composure. It was the first time she had broken
down during the long trial. Frank’s mother left her place, a look
0 | of utter, wearied misery in her eyes, but a determination to be
brave in every line of her face.

Conley, questioned and coaxed and wheedled and bullied for
a total of nearly 11 hours, was still clinging tenaciously to his
accusations against the factory superintendent when Rosser began
his last desperate attack upon the negro's story Tuesday after
noon.
He admitted that he had lied without count. He admitted
that he lied in his first, second, and even his third affidavits,
the last of which had been described by the detectives as “the
