EVIDENCE OF JIM CONLEY
Continued From Pago 1.
that Conley not only had failed to
tell them, but for the moat part had
made strenuous denial* when asked
ftbout them. It was expected that
Bla<*k would be called early Friday to
testify on the same matter.
Rosser, in his examination of De
tective Scott, sought to create In the
minds of the jury the Impression that
Conley had been guided and directed
by the dectives in the framing of hi.'
string: of statements and affidavits.
Negro’s Story in Own Words.
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 his affidavits un
til they harmonized better with the
circumstances of th<* 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?”
Scott said that this was the truth.
The testimony of Scott and that of
Dr. L. W. Childs, a physician and
surgeon, marked the opening of the
defense's fight for the life of Leo
Frank. The State rested its case
against the factory superintendent
at noon and Dr. Childs was called at
once to testify in rebuttal of Dr. H.
F. Harris, the State's principal medi
cal expert.
Childs Attacks Harris.
Dr. Childs declared boldly that Dr.
Harris' conclusions were the wildest
sort of guesses. He said that Har
ris had made statements with no de
pendable data on which to base them.
Dr. Harris’ declaration that Mary
Phagan came to her death within half
or three-quarters of an hour after she
met her death, an assumption he
made because the cabbage In her
stomach hardly had begun to digest,
the expert of the defense chararter-
ized as nothing more than conjec
ture
“I have seen cabbage (hat had been
in a person’s stomach twelve hours
that was less changed (han that,” he
asserted.
Solicitor Dorsey, when he got hold
of the witness, confined himself main
ly to an attempt to discredit Dr.
Child* as an expert. He brought to
the attention of the jury that the
physician was only 31 years old, that
he had geen graduated from a medi
cal school only seven years and that
he was a general practitioner, rather
than a specialist od laboratory man
like Dr. Harris.
Child# Not a Specialist.
The Solicitor then propounded n
number of highly scientific medical
questions to the witness—questions
furnished by the Solictor’s brother,
Dr. R. T. Dorsey—and Dr. Childs
was soon forced to reply that only a
specialist could answer such a line
of interrogation.
Those who expected some sensa
tional testimony from C. B. Dalton,
the ,flrst of the State’s witnesses Fri
day, were disappointed. Dalton’s
story was more in the nature of a
confession of his own derelictions
than an expose of misconduct on the
part of Frank. Dalton testified that
he had seen women In Frank's of
fice on various occasions. Who they
were he did not know. He had wit
nessed no compromising situations.
Dalton was mentioned in Conley's
story and to that extent corroborated
the negro.

Senate Will Pass Them, bat the
House Must Change Front if
They Become Laws.
With the Senate substitute for Rep
resentative Sheppard’s tax reform bill
delivered in printed form to the Sen
ate and the two Administration bills,
providing a pro rata ad valorem tax
for pensions and common schools, in
ihe hands of the Committee on Con
stitutional Amendments, State Sen
ators Friday morning prepared for
the mon important legislation of the
session.
Senator Miller, chairman of the Fi-
najicft. Committee and joint author of
all three bills, declared Friday morn
ing the legislation would be hastened.
He indicated further that all three
bills would be well on their way to
ward pasjage by Monday afternoon.
The .substitute for the Sheppard bill
has been favorably reported by the
Finance Committee, and the two Ad-
' ministration bills, which were defeat
ed in the House and presented in the
Senate Thursday, were considered by
the Committee on Constitutional
Amendments, of which Senator Har
rell is chairman, Friday morning. The
two bills, it is understood, will re
ceive the indorsement of the com
mittee.
Senate Will Pass Them.
The champions of the two Admin
istration bills declare the bills will
meet with little opposition in the
Seriate, as this body has taken a de
cided stand on tax reform which will
relieve the State’s financial embar
rassment.
The two bills, which are similar to
those presented in the House by
Speaker Burwell, were drawn at the
instance of the Governor and provide
that the General Assembly shall not
appropriate for any one year for com
mon schools a sum in excels of that
raised by levying two and one-half
mills, nor any in excess of one and
one-half mills for pensions.
Both bills are constitutional amend
ments and will require a two-thirds
vote in the Senate. Should the Up
per House indorse the measures they
will be sent back to the House, where,
unless there is a change of front,
they will again be defeated.
Two Other Bills Tabled.
The Senate’s decks are clear now
for the consideration of these three
bills. Thursday afternoon the Foster-
Bush-Searcy white slavery bill was
passed by unanimous vote, and two
bills—one by President Anderson and
Senator Huie, of the Thirty-fifth,
providing an increase in State Sena
torial Districts, and the other, by
Senator McNeill, amending the sec
tion of the code so as to permit the
running of through freight trains on
Sunday—w’ere tabled.
The Anderson-Huie bill resulted in
sharp debate between President An
derson and Senator Tarver. The lat
ter charged the bill was an attempt to
increase the representation of the cit
ies at the expense of the rural dis
tricts. The bill, it is understood, was
tabled by friends of the measure so
as to allow further consideration.

upon learning of my condition, urged me to take

began to feel better. I kept on taking the
medicine and improved fast. In Mar-h. 1910,
1 returned home. I think I am entirely well,
have a good appetite and sleep well. When I
left Denver my weight was 130 pounds. I now
weigh 165, my normal weight I thank God \
and your Alterative for my health.”
