JIM CONLEY DRUNK DAY OF CRIME, GIRL SAYS HE TOLD HER ‘I Don’t Know Where I Was Saturday, ’ Rebecca Carson Swears He Admitted 1*1 I ft P ONE OFTHE FIFTY NEW WITNESSES SUMMONED BY THE PROSECUTION AS HE LEFT Continued From Page 1. ing to the crowd and to the feelings of the jury. Does you honor think that good practice—honorable prae tice—especially when a man is on trial for hiM life? Arnold Calls Dorsey Overzealous. "My friend is zealous—he is a little overzealous, I think, but that is not a matter for me to criticise. Your honor, our jury system is very lame If we admit this sort of evidence. They are good men, but simple men It’s hard for them to distinguish be tween things that condemn a man and things that prove him guilty. 1 won’t say that the conduct of the So licitor is Illegal, but it is a little more culpable than the act of the mother. It's a pretty pass if a man’s wife and mother are to be barred at the hour Qf his trial. This evidence of the State was put in to poison the minds of the jury. It was hard to bear— awfully hard to bear-—but 1 promise it shall not occur again. We will do all we can to prevent a recurrence." "Your honor, 1 didn’t ask Mr. Jones all the questions I might have asked him,” replied Dorsey. "You ruled the questions I did ask were legal. I a?Ked only questions I can substan tiate by reputable witnesses—-some of tnem high-class women, I regard them. "It's a mistaken idea about me be ing overzealous. 1 am trying to do my duty. I want to protect myself and the court. You have excluded other women. There is no reason why these should be allowed to remain to offend the dignity of the court. An accused man should not be allowed to bankrupt his wife and mother. Mr. Arnold criticises my act. The courts have held It is highly improper for a law yer to express hiB opinion on the evidence Mr. Arnold has branded this evidence as lies before I put these good women on the stand." Judge Roan ruled, after more ar guing: "You are entirely right, Mr. Dor sey. in saying that you are entitled to protection. Oth«»r women were put out because the evidence was of su^h a nature as to be indecent to be heard by them It is a matter in the discre tion ol* the court to state whether those ladies should be allowed to re main. I will say that If there are any more such outbreaks a* yesterday I shall be forced to exclude them.” Mrs. Frank, the mother, and the prisoner’s wife were both in court while the argument was in progress.

Partee, the Georgia Railroad engineer who killed another engineer, Sam Jac kson, a short while ago, was released from the Tower Thursday morning under a $5,000 bond, furnished by a number of engineers, friends of Partee. Bond was granted by Judge J. T. Pendleton following application for bail by Partee. A plea of self- defense was made. The killing grew out of remarks which Jackson was quoted as saying about Partee being familiar with an other engineer’s wife. Her husband went to Partee and the two of them started in search of Jackson. They met near the Georgia Railroad round house and the shotoing followed, Jackson being killed almost instantly. A number of Partee’s friends were at the Tower Thursday morning to greet him on his release from the Tower. ME YEARS AGO Letters Uncovered by Workmen Between Walls of the Depot at Decatur, Remodeling of the Georgia Railroad depot in Decatur has served to par tially clear up a series of mail rob beries three years old. In 1910, about the time Agnes Scott College opened for the year, letters addressed to college officials and stu dents and citizens of Decatur began to disappear. Some of them con tained checks and money orders, and complaints by the hundred were filed. Postoffice inspectors worked, but could find no clew, and the investiga- titfn was finally given up as hope less. But the other day workmen -at the depot found all the missing letters stacked behind the plastering. A hole large enough to admit a man's hand was found. Through this hole the letters had been placed between the plastering and the outer wall. Some of the letters still contained checks. The letters had all been opened. Mrs Kirkpatrick, the postmaster, is now engaged in forwarding the long-delayed letters to the addressees. She Is writing a note of explanation to accompany each letter. The theory has been advanced that the letters were taken by some rail way mail clerk and handed out to a trusted confederate in Decatur, who would extract what money and ne gotiable paper he would find and then place the letters in hiding be hind the plastering in the depot. There is no clew to the guilty par ties. Worshipers Routed Fro mTent by Flood GADSDEN, Aug. 14.—Five hundred worshipers were forced to wade through water up to their waists to a place of safety when water from flooded Cove Creek rose around them while they were attending services In a tent near Lagarde last night.
