K rur ' xta mronnTAN and ndws. scon used by defense 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.

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.

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. Oct. . . . Nov . . . 11.16 11.16 Dec. . . . 11.15 11.16 Jan . . .
