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 eharge the negro was caught when he said he saw Mary go in ahead of Monteen because according to State’s Witness George Epps, Mary was at Mariet- now;- did he smile?”—A. Yes, he smil ed, or made some kind of face at Mias Mayfield. Q. Did he say anything?—A. No* just looked at her and waJked out. Q. He never said anything about flirting?—A. No. The witness was excused and Har- lee Branch, a reporter for The At lanta Journal, was called to the stand. Arnold questioned him. Q. Do you recollect having an in terview with Jim Conley?—A. Yes, 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 jufy.” Q l 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 sav it took him 30 min utes to get the body down into the basement?—A. Ye*. Q. I will ask if he didn’t say Lem- 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 lie 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 th$_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 went through the negro's re-enactment of the crime. He esti mated the start at 32:18. Rossef ! niade another strenuous objection, but | Judge Roan admitted the evidence. Branch said that at 1:05 o’clock he : left the building and the negro had reached the point in his pantomimf ! where ne wrote the notes irt Frank's 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 I office. Conley says the disposing of the body began at 12:56. The events Conley de- I Q P° in ^ oourt adjourned until scribes could not have occurred in the intervening 14 minutes, according to the 1 defense, because Conley said he was in the wardrobe 8 minutes, and the writing of the notes must have taken at least 6 minutes, according to the State itself. The State will undoubtedlv attack this formidable alibi in its rebuttal evidence. blood on the floor?—A. Not until Monday morning. Q. Did you see it?—A.

Hooper—If anything improper is going on, I wish you would make it public. Solicitor Dorsey, who was standing near the witness, turned and said "Your honor, we want this matter settled, if they think anything im proper is going on.” Judge Roan—No complaint has been made. Dorsey—We are bringing it now. The officer came in and spoke u Mr. Starnes.

I don’t care if it takes a month.” Schiff left the courtroom and Dor sey continued to question the wit ness. Q. Did you show' this envelope to Herbert Schiff?—A. liater. Q. Did he Identify it as his hand writing? Rosser: “We object. Mr. Arnold is a little excited about a fire close to his building and will be back in a few minutes.” Dorsey—Well.

All I want is to har e my ob jection recorded. He has tried to im peach every witness we have put up on the grounds that'he did not re port to the police.” Judge Roan: “Mr. Dorsey, you can ask the witness whether he told any city detectives about the note and the bludgeon, or whether he sought to conceal it. You can not ask him what somebody told him to do." Hooper: "What w T e want to do is to show that Pierce is the head of the Pinkertons, and that he controls the policy of the Pinkertons."
