Funeral announcement will be made later Harry Scott, of the Pinkerton agency, showed up the “confessions” of Conley in a peculiar light when he was called to the stand by the Frank defense Thursday afternoon. The detective, questioned by Luther Rosser, told the Jury that Conley, when he “had told everything;” when he had accused Frank of the killing and had made himself an accessory after the fact by declaring that h3 assisted in the disposal of the body; when every motive for holding anv- thing back had been swept away by his third affidavit, still denied to him (Scott) many of the alleged cir cumstances to which he testified while he was on the stand the first three days of the week. It will be the contention of the defense that these many additions to Conley’s tale, inasmuch as all rea son for concealing them had passed after Conley had come out with his accusations against Frank and his confession of his own part in the crime, are pure fabrications of the black man's imagination, as are the other details of his tale. Scott said that he had grilled and badgered Conley repeatedly about seeing Mary Phagan enter the fac tofy. Even after the negro had made all his incriminating statements, he steadfastly denied seeing the girl victim go up the stairs to the sec ond floor. Denied He Had Seen Purse. He denied also to Scott, the detec tive said, that he ever had seen the girl’s mesh bag or parasol, or that he ever had heard a girl’s scream while he was sitting on the first floor. He told the detectives that he did not see Lemmie Quinn or Mon • teen Stover enter the factory, al though he later < .dared he had se-n them both and so testified on the stand. Conley said on the stand when he was questioned by Rosser that he Thought he had told all these things to Scott and John Black while he was making his third and final affi davit. Scott was called to testify that Conley not only had failed to tell them, but for the most part had made strenuous denials when asked about them. It was expected that Black would be called early Friday to testify on the same matter. Rosser, in his examination of De tective Scott, sought to 'reate in the minds of the jury the impression that Conley had been guided and directed by the detectives in the framing of his string of statements ana affidavits. Scott admitted that the improba bilities in the negro’s statements had been pointed out to him. and that, with these suggestions, Conley pro ceeded to doctor up hi? affidavits un til they harmonized better with the circumstances of the day. Solicitor Dorsey was loath to let any statement get into the record which indicated that Conley had been coached by the detectives, and he got Scott to say that no one had put the words in the negro's mouth. ‘‘But you would say,” shouted Ros ser. ‘“That don’t fit. Jim.’ and Jim would get something that did fit; isn’t that so?” It takes a baby a year or more to get six teeth. In a year or less six of j/owrteeth may be seriously damaged by lack of proper care.
