They also contend that it proves Conley’s story a tissue of falsehoods. Thus, they declare, Conley lied when he said Quinn preceded Monteen Stover and Mary Phagan because Quinn did not arrive until 12 :20, just as they charge the negro was caught when We said he saw Mary go in ahead of Monteen because according to State’s Witness George Epps, Mary was at Mariet ta and Forsyth at 12:07, while "Monteen entered the factory at 12:05. Proceed ing further, the defense attacks Conley’s story of the disposition of the body on the ground that Helen Curran saw Frank at Alabama and Whitehall at 1:10, and Conley says the disposing of the body began at 12 :56. The events Conley de scribes could not have occurred in the intervening 14 minutes, according to the defense, because Conley said he was in the wardrobe 8 minutes, and the writing of the notes must hate taken at least 6 minutes, according to the State itself. The State will undoubtedly attack this formidable alibi in its rebuttal evidence. now; did he smile?”—A. Yes, fag smil ed, or made some kind of face at Miss Mayfield. Q. Did he say anything?—A.

Dorsey: "The story of his actions is practically the same.” Judge Roan: “He can go as far as this evidence is similar. The jury* can tell whether it is the same or\ not.” Rosser: "It is the duty of the Judge to pass on it before it goes to the Jury." Q. I call your attention to this in terview* of May 31. Read it over and tell the substance Before Mr. Branch had replied, Mr. Rosser questioned him. Q. I will get you to state whether Conley said anything about seeing the little girl’s purse?—A. He did not. “Took 30 Minutes to Take Body to Basement.’* Q. Didn't he say it took him 30 min*, utes to get the body down into the basement?—A. Yes. Q. I will ask if he didn’t say Lem- t mie Quinn got to the factory after 12 o’clock and stopped eight or nine min utes?—A. Yes. Dorsey took the witness on cross- examination. Q. Was he positive about the time? —A. I tried to get him to be as defi nite as he could, but he qualified his statements with the word "about.” Q. Did you get this interview be*- fore or after Conley went htrough what he said was his part in the crime at the factory?—A. It was two or three days after. Q. Did you see him go through that performance at the factory?—A. I did. Rosser objected. Dorsey—I want to show by this witness Conley’s preformance and that it was just as admissible as the evidence of Dr. Owens the other day. Judge Roan overruled the objection. Rosser continued to object, on the ground that Conley has told a differ ent story since the interview. Branch w*ent through the negro’s re-enactment of the crime. He esti mated the start at 12:18.
