WITNESSES FOR DEFENSE
PROVE CONLEY IDLE TRUE,
ORSEY ARGUES TO JURY
Continued From Page 3.
he said. “Among: them was that Con
ley was being: intimidated by friends
of Frank in jail. That he was given
sandwiches, offered whisky and wis
threatened with physical harm,
cursed and otherwise abused. It also
charged that Conley was kept in a
cage with a number of desperate
criminals, one of whom was under
sentence of death, and would have
been willing to swear to anything to
prolong his life. Also that Conlev
was quoted as making statement
which he never made. That in con
trast to this, the defendant Frank w-is
kept in a cell block to himself and
that no one except those he desired
to see was allowed to visit him.
“If it was right for Frank to have
the privilege of not seeing anyone
he did not want to see, why should
not Conley have had the same right?
Even by newspaper men the defense
attempted to show that certain ac
tions and w r ords on his part refuted
his statements.
“Judge Roan issued the order which
remanded Conley from the county jail
to the city jail.”
Rosser interrupted—We object to
that, your honor. You did not order
Conley back to police headquarters.
You discharged him from custody.
Dorsey—The effect was the same.
Rosser—We insist that it was not.
The order issued here discharged him
from custody.
Judge Roan—I will explain to you.
In the first instance I issued an order
releasing him from the city jail and
another order that he should be held
in the custody of the county jail.
What I did the last time was to va
cate both orders. The effect was the
same as remanding him back to the
custody of the police.”
“Conley was first in the common
Jail and then remanded to the police
station, and the effect of the Judge’s
next order was to turn him loose. Bu‘
for the police bringing him to testify
in this case he might have been spir
ited out of town and his important
testimony silenced forever.
“They claim he is Impeached, but
I assert he is unimpeachable by any
man except persons with their hands
in the till of the National Pencil Com
pany. Unlmpeached as to character,
except by hirelings of the National
Pencil Company, yet they would turn
this man loose and set aside all this
important evidence when all they
have found against his record are
charges of disorderly conduct at the
police station.
Says Conley Is
Abundantly Sustained.
"I tell you, gentlemen, Conley is
abundantly sustained. Our proof of
the general bad character of Frank
sustains him. Our proof of the gen
eral bad character for lasciviousness,
not even denied by a single witness,
sustains him. Tour failure (pointing
to attorneys for the defense) to cross-
examine and deliver up the sources of
Information of the girls who testified
that his character was bad—those
girls Arnold called hair-brained fanat
ics without rhyme or reason—sustains
him.
"Frank’s relations with Miss Re-
becea Carson, going into the dressing
room .with her in the broad day, first
givenby Miss Jackson, the defense'3
own witness ”
Rosser interrupted: "Miss Jackson
nevt r said anything about Frank go
ing into a room with Miss Carson.”
“Dorsey: “You are right, you are
right. Well, then, by witnesses whose
names I can't recall.
"Their statements sustain him. The
statements that tills libertine and
rapist looked into the dressing room
of these young girls with a sardonic
smile sustains Jim Conley.
"Miss Kitchens, who refuted Mr. Ar
nold's Staten ent that he had called
all the women on the fourth floor to
testify as to Frank's character, sus
tains Jim Conley.
“Darley sustains him. Truman Mc
Crary, the. old darkey praised so high
ly, sustains him in the statement as
to where he put his sack of hay at
the time he drew his pay. Monteen
Stover, telling of her easy walking
shoes, sustains him. She sustains him
in that at the mpment Frank was in
the metal department with this un
fortunate little girl. She went to his
office and he was not there.
"Conley heard footsteps going to
the rear Monteen Stover went up
afterwards. Is that not substantia
tion?
“Lemmie Quinn, your own dear
Lemmie, in connection with the tes
timony of Mrs. Freeman and Miss
Hall, about the time he went to
Frark’s office, sustained him. Frank's
statement about consulting his attor
neys before deciding whether or not
to make public the statement of Lem
mie Quenn's visit on Saturday, sus
tains him,
"Dalton, proving a good character
during the last ten years, sustains
him. Daisy Hopkins sustains him.
Brent, on the second floor, sustains
him. ’ The testimony of Holloway In
an affidavit before he realized its
importance, sustains him. The testi
mony of Boots Rogers, that the power
box of the elevator was unlocked, sus
tains him.
Clash Over Conley’s
“Did,” and “Done.”
“The affidavit of Mlnola MeKnight
made before Mr. Craven and Mr.
Pickett sustains Jim Conley. The use
of that cord to choke her, which is
around the factory in such abundance,
su“t"*ns him. The existence of notes
alone sustains him. No negro in the
history of his race, after a rape, ever
wrote' notes to cover up the crime.
The diction of the notes—'I did’ when
Jim says 'I done'- ”
Rosser interrupted: Well, tie
didn't say that. He says ‘I did' and I
have records here. He says here
where he tells of Frank tells of hav
ing to watch. 'I dlsremember whether
I did or not.' ”
Dorsey—I will have to know who
wrote It before I believe It.
Rosser—If God Almighty were to
say it you wouldn’t believe it.
Attorney Arnold read the record—
“And he said he would stay on the
Boor like he did before.
Dorsey—Yes; you are reading his
quotation of Frank.
There was laughter throughout the
courtroom. Deputy sheriffs rapped
tor order.
Arnold—Here it is both ways, quot
ing Frank and direct.
Dorsey—1 am not bound by that re
port. This jury heard it and I am
willing to trust them.
Rosser—Yes; I know that you are
not bound by any rule of conduct in
the universe.
Parry, the court stenographer, at
this Juncture said that Conley was
quoted both ways He said that the
character for "did” in shorthand was
quite different from the character for
“done,’’ and there was no cause for
mistake.
Dorsey Takes Up
Context of Notes.
“The testimony ‘shows that Jim in
a majority of instances used the
word ‘done’ Instead of ‘did.’ I will
not quarrel over that matter any
longer. I am willing to leave it to
the jury.
“The phrase: 'That long tall black
negro did this by his-self shows a
conscious effort on the part of‘Frank
to limit the crime to one man.
“Conley Is sustained as to the
time-of Frank’s arrival at the factory
Saturday morning by Frank himself
He is sustained as to Frank’s visit
to Montag’s. He is sustained as to
the folder that Frank carried in his
hand.
“Arthur White borrowed S2 from
Frank when he left at 3 o’clock that
afternoon. Schiff testified that an
entry always was made of these
loans, or that a little slip was left
in the cash box, indicating that the
loan had been made.
“But where is the paper? Where
is the entry in any book? We have
asked them to show us an entry and
they have failed to do It. The fact
of the matter is that Frank neglected
to make the entry. Why was it? It
was because his mind was so occu
pied with the crime that he had
committeed and with the problem of
getting rid of the girl’s body that he
totally forgot the entry.
“Frank in his statement before you
said that he made every man sign
for the loans he obtained. But they
can’t show the signature of this man
White. I tell you. gentlemen of the
jury that he didn’t take a receipt
from White because his mind and
conscience was on the terrible crime
he had committed.
“Where's Mincey?”
Dorsey Queries.
“Do you tell me that if everything
had been normal he wouldn’t have
taken the receipt? There's only one
reason he didn’t take it and you know
that reason.
“Conley also has been sustained by
the fact that Frank had rich rela
tives in Brooklyn, and by the time
that Frank left the factory that aft
ernoon.
“Where’s Mincey?
“Echo answers where. Either Min
cey was a myth or he was such a dia
bolical perjurer that these lawyers of
Frank’s knew’ that his testimony
would nauseate any fair-minded jury
that heard him.
“Where’s Mincey? I ask. If you
were not going to produce him and
let the Jury see him, why did you
parade the statements in his affidavit
before these men in the jury box? You
know’, and everybody knows, that if
Mincey could have helped your case
you would have had him here if you
had had to go over Georgia with a
fine-tooth comb to find him.
“Every act of Frank proclaims him
a murderer. Every word announce*
that he it was who foully strangled
little Mary Phagan. Every circun-
stance proves his guilt. The circum
stances are extraordinary, yes, but
they are as true as is the fact that
little Mary Phagan lies dead. *
“She died without a blot on her life
or her reputation. She died because
she would not yield her virtue to her
superintendent.
“I have no purpose and have not
had any in the prosecution of this
trial that you gentlemen of the jury
should not have had as honest men.
Your honor, I have done my duty, and
I have no apology to make. So far ns
the State Is now concerned, you may
charge the jury. This jury has sworn
to be unprejudiced and unbiased, and
has said under oath that they will
consider this case with fair-minded
ness and as honest men should, and l
can but believe that there w’ill be but
one verdict—and that it will be guilty,
guilty, guilty.”
Attorney Arnold at the conclusion
of Solicitor Dorsey’s argument at 12
o’clock, arose and made a motion for
a mistrial. Attorney Arnold based hi*
motion on the applause which at dif
ferent times during the proceedings
has broken the order of the court
room.
“Your honor, at the beginning of
this trial,” said Arnold, counsel for the
defense, “I requested that the court-
rom be cleared of spectators. I am
going to make a motion for a new’
trial and we are prepared to prove
each of the instances upon w’hich we
base our request, unless your honor
is willing to admit that they are true.
“First, when the court refused to
rule out the evidence of Frank’s rela
tions with other women as given by
Jim Conley, that there was applause
in the courtroom.
“Second, on Friday, August 22, W’hen
the trial was on, and had just recessed
for* lunch, and when the jury was
within 200 feet of the courthouse, and
just as the Solicitor General was leav
ing the courthouse, the crowd gath
ered around and in plain hearing of
the jury yelled: ‘Hurrah for Dorsey.’
“Third, that on Saturday, August
23, w’nlle the trial was still in pro
cess, and had just adjourned, a
large crowd gathered in front of the
courthouse, and as the Solicitor Gen
eral left the courthouse, yelled: ‘Hur
rah for Dorsey.’ The jury at this time
was in a cafe at lunch within 100 feet
and was in plain hearing of the noise,
and that the crow’d moved up in front
of the cafe and again yelled: ‘Hurrah
for Dorsey,’ all within plain hearing
of the jury.
“Fourth, on August 25, while the
jury was in a room within 20 feet of
the courtroom, that as the Solicitor
General entered the courtroom, the
crowd in the courtroom arose and ap
plauded him, and that your honor ad
monished the crowd that if It happen
ed again he would clear the court
room.
“And that all of this applause has
tended to coerce and unduly influence
the jury. The conduct was most dis
graceful and the defendant has not
been given a fair show at any tim *
during the trial from the start to the
finish.
“I never saw’ a trial w’here there
were so many manifestations of feel
ing. They have a natural tendency
to intimidate and influence the jury.
“1 make the motion for the new
Rev. A. R. Holderby Says Circum
stantial Evidence Would Cru
cify the Saviour Again.
Branding circumstantial evidence,
especially w’hen extorted by the third
degree, as dangerous and unjust, the
Rev. Andrew R. Holderby, pastor of
the Moore Memorial Church, In his
Sunday sermon declared that if the
Angel Gabriel were to visit the earth
he would very likely be convicted of
some violation of the law on that sort
of evidence.
“It is quite certain.” Dr. Holderby
said, “that Jerus Christ would again
be suspected and arrested and cruci
fied just as he was 1900 years ago—
and it would be on circumstantial evi
dence.”
Dr. Holderby arraigned the laws and
courts of to-day, declaring that our
so-called courts of justice are too oft
en courts of injustice and persecu
tion.
“If you have any grievance with
your neighbor,” he said, “you* had
©etter settle the matter by arbitration
and steer clear of the courts. ‘ This is
the Bible injunction. You will not
likely get justice in some of our
courts.
“In the eyes of the law r to-day it
seems that every man is presumed to
be guilty of some devilment unless ne
can prove his innocence.and any man
may be convicted of some immorality
upon the testimony of any irresponsible
witness who has been put through the
'third degree.’
“God exhorts all men to ‘do jus
tice, love, mercy and to w r alk humbly
with God.’ This is the summing up
of religion. It is che Golden Rule,
and if men were governed by this law,
earth would become heaven. There'
would be no need of preachers or
lawyers or courts or Juries or jails.
“But this law of heaven is not
obeyed, hence the sorrow’s and
miseries of earth. We are living in
an age of injustice and cruelty. This
divine law’ of justice and mercy is
often violated by the State as well as
the individual. The law as adminis
tered by the State is inclined to be
vindictive and unmerciful.
Bullish Condition Report and
Strong Cables Also Responsible
for Short Covering.
NEW YORK. Aug. 25.—The upward
trend of cotton prices following reports
of deterioration in tne Southxvest was
resumed at the opening of the cotton
market to-day, the upturn ranging from
7 to 18 points over Saturday’s final.
One of the chief buying motives was the
report of a Southern newspaper making
the condition of the crop as of August
22 at 69.6 per cent, or 10 points off for
the month.
In addition to this the Liverpool mar
ket sent very high cables. Spot
houses were principal buyers, there
being also good buying from the ring.
However, there was some scattered
profit-ta*klng by some who were big buy
ers last w’eek. Prices, nevertheless, held
firm, and under continued good support
from the larger interests further gains
of 5 to 14 points were recorded by the
end of the first hour.
Following are 11 a. m bids in New’
York: August. 12.06; October, 11.85; De
cember, 11.81; January, 11.71; March,
11.80.
At the close the market was very
steady, with prices at a net advance
of 23 to 29 points from the final quota
tions of Saturday.
Following are 10 a. m. bids In New

Judge Raises Fine to
Curb Sunday Drunks
Sunday drunks fared hard at the
hands of Recorder Pro Tern Preston
Monday in police court. Judge Pres
ton characterized Sunday drinking
as a downright disgrace, and said it
wag his purpose to do all he could to
break it up.
He assessed a fine of $10.75 for
Sunday drunkenness. The ordinary
everyday fine is $5.75.
In imposing the double penalty on
one man the recorder remarked: “If
you want to drink liquor on Sunday,
I would advise you to leave Atltanta.
Drunkenness on Sunday will not • be
tolerated in this city.”
Kentucky Feudist
Slain as He Resists
MANCHESTER. ICY., Aug. 25.—It
w’as believed to-day that the Ilargis-
Cockrill feud w’hich has cost more
than a score of lives is ended.
Greenberry McIntosh, who killed
Greenberry Combs last week, was
cornered by Breathitt County officers
in a Clay County settlement, and
when he refused to surrender was
shot to death. The three men con
victed of killing former Sheriff Ed
Callahan, of Breathitt County, are
serving life sentences, and it Is be
lieved the other participants in the
feud will allow the family hatred to
die.
trial and I stand ready to prove what
I have said.”
The jury was out w’hlle the argu
ments on the mistrial were being
made.
Dorsey Objects to
Mistrial Motion.
Dorsey arose with a strenuous ob
jection.
“I take issue w’ith the defense,” al
most shouted the Solicitor. “I never
heard any such thing as Mr. Arnold
speaks of. I think it w’ould be the
most ridiculous thing in the world to
entertain the motion. I don’t know
whether all that Mr. Arnold has said
is true or not, but I want your honor
to overrule the motion because it
wouldn’t amount to anything if it
were true.”
A mold interrupted Dorsey.
“Didn’t you hear the applause this
morning, your honor?” said Arnold,
fiddressing Judge Roan. ‘‘Didn’t you
hear the cheering last Friday and Sat
urday? Didn’t you hear them yell,
‘Hurrah for Dorsey?’ ”
Judge Roan admitted that he had
heard cheering, but denied that the
exclamation, “Hurrah for Dorsey,” had
reached his ears.
Several witnesses took the stand to
testify as to the demontsratlons which
were claimed to have influenced the
jury. Arnold himself was one of
them.
Deputy R. B. Deavers testified also
that just before the jury entered the
German Cafe on Saturday ifternoon
he heard a demonstration, but asked
if he heard, “Hoorah for Dorsey!” he
declared that he did not.
Deputy C. F. Huber said that he
was with the jury Friday afternoon,
but when asked if he had heard the
demonstrations, said that he had not
and did not know’ anything about it
until next morning.
The crowd -in the courtroom
laughed at Huber’s statement.
“Your honor,” shouted Attorney
Arnold, jumping to his feet. "I want
that in the records. Who else was
with you?” Arnold asked of Huber.
“Mr. Liddell,” Huber answered.
“Say,” interposed Attorney Hoop
er, “aren’t we going to be given
opportunity to cross-examine this
witness?”
In the confusion Hooper’s protes f
w’as overlooked. Attorney Arnold
asked that Liddell be brought in. but
Judge Roan ruled against the defense,
denying a new trial.

HAYWARD & CLARK’S
DAILY COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS. Aug 28.—There
were only a few light, scattered showers
in Texas over Sunday, but cool weather
prevailed ovar nearly the entire belt,
with no excess In temperatures any
where. Indications are for increasing
cloudiness and some showers in the
western States and Gulf districts, partly
cloud}’ to fair elsewhere, with normal
temperatures. Conditions are making
for further and more general precipi
tation in the west this week. Liver
pool showed as much as 10 points ad
vance on futures at the opening of our
market, against 11 higher due. Spots,
12 points higher; sales 5,0<K). First
trades here were at an advance of
about 16 points; selling restricted by
intimidating crop reports; expectation
of a bullish weekly report to-morrow.
Low private condition forecasts are due
this week, and the opinion that the
coming Bureau w’ill show a decline up
to 10 points in the average condition of
the belt. The demand for contracts was
steady enough to hold the advance
There was some scattered profit-tak
ing on the advance to-day by brokers
who had been prominent buyers last
week. Kiorthin was apparently the lead
ing seller. Baruch was said to be a
seller through Schill and Shearson. The
market, however, tdbk the selling re
markably well and refused to decline.
Spot people were good buyers on all soft
spots.
The New York Journal of Commerce
has the following on the condition of
the cotton crops Tn Alabama, Mississip
pi and Louisiana:
•‘‘Alabama—on account of late June
planting, cotton is very spotted, and
fear is entertained that June cotton
will suffer considerable deterioration.
Some sections have had sufficient rain
fall, and their prospects are bright for a
full crop. But the major part of the
State is needing rain badly. Cotton is
shedding and opening prematurely, and
picking haa begun In eome sections.
Cultivation has been excellent, and with
the exception of boll weevil the crop is
free from insect damage As a result
of heat and drouth, condition is slightly
lower than a month ago. when it was
79.2, but better than last year, when it
was 74.
“Mississippi Barring the very general
prevalence of the boil weevil, the condi
tion is very good. Farmers are fight
ing the nest vigorously with good re
suits. Tne plant Is of good size, well
cultivated and fruitage is good. Many
sections are beginning to feel the need
of rain and shedding is becoming gen
eral. ow’ing to hot, dry winds. Bolls
are opening freely and picking will be
general In September. Percentage con
dition is considerably better than a
year ago at this time, w’hen it was 71.3,
but somewhat lower than last month,
when it was 80.
“Louisiana The presence of the boll
weevil is practically universal and they
have been the cause of material de
terioration. Excessive rains in many
sections have favored their depreda
tions. Sheddng s also general, but not
more than normal for this time of the
year. Cultivation remains good and
there is little complaint of scarcity of
labor. Drouth and high temperatures
have affected some localities. Picking
will he fairly general by September 1
Partial returns on percentage condition
indicates several points below’ last
month, when it was 78.7 per cent.”

established in various issues, extending
up to a point, the only exception being
a drop of 1 point In Great Northern Ore.
A little later a further advance of al

general recessions. Copper was %
down; Steel remained unchanged: Union

the movements Canadian Pacific made
a fractional advance.

Deterioration has been heaviest west
of the River, where the long drouth
continued unbroken and Is making it
self felt on the crop. The conditions
probaly have never been worse in Okla
homa and in Texas. The losses have
been very severe, the plant is withering
and is shedding heavily.
Young bolls are opening prematurely
In Alabama the grade of cotton brought
to market is said to be rather poor.
Hot, dry weather prevailed over most
of the eastern belt during the last fort
night, with a resultant deterioration in
Tennessee. Mississippi and Alabam.
The loss in Mississippi and Louisiana
was greatly’ augmented by boll weevil,
the second hatching of which is infect
ing the fields and doing much damage.
In Georg'a and the Carolinas the plant
about held its own during the month,
and prospects still are bright in these
States 'for a splendid crop.
In many places in the west it is con
tended that rains w’ill not be of benefit
should they’ fall soon, but in most sec
tions correspondents are of the opinion
that good raips would greatly add to the
yield. The extremely hot weather and
the very dry soil tended to minimize
the benefit accruing from recent scat
tered showers In Texas.
Owing to the dry hot w’eather cotton
is opening fast and picking promises
soon to become general. Farmers are
placing the lint on the market as soon
as ginned. Labor, generally speaking,
is ample.

SOUTHERN BUYERS THICK
IN THE CHICAGO MARKET
Marshall Field & Co., In a weekly re
view of the dry goods trade, says:
“Immediate business is keeping up
strong and as the fall season opens up
there is more evidence of the scarcity of
desirable merchandise, the increase in
road sales during the week, together
with market purchases, indicating that
retailers are beginning to anticipate
their needs liberally for the coming few
months Our shipping department t*
working overtime to get out current and
September 1 shipments.
Buyers have been in the market in
unusual numbers from the South and.
Southwest particularly from Alabama,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas and East
ern Oklahoma, where crop conditions are
much improved, and they report an in
creased confidence among the dry good*
trade.”
