If I could have had just one hour to reply to his eight- hour address ] am confident I could have «hown the jury that I was an innocent man and that the Solicitor was misrepresenting the facts in or der to obtain a conviction.' Thie was a statement made by Leo M. Frank \o friends who visited him in the Jail Wednesday. "Dors^v twisted'and contorted the real circumstances of the case until ‘hey \ve r e unrecoverable,” he con tinued. “He altered everything that was said and everything that w« = done until it seemed to point to my cuilt.

He said he 'ould not under stand how people could be so certain of his guilt when the testimony was ircumstantial in the extreme, excep* for Mint of Conley, who was an ad- mi fed liar and perjurer. Rabbi Marx. Emil Selig. Prince Myers, Montag. Milton Kline and >l rbert Schiff were among Frank’s visitors Wednesday. Mr. Selig. Frank's father-in-law. remained at the Tower from 8:4j until about 11: SO. Schiff brought with him c stenog rapher from the pencil factory and Frank dictated a number of letters and also acme matter in connection with his own case. The former su perintendent is compiling in compact form all of the important testimony at the trial so that he more readily may refer to it when he comes to make his reply to Dorsey. He sent for his diary and for a quantity of paper while Schiff was with him and the two worked to gether for more fhan an hour. An indictment of dim Conley, charging him with being accessory after the fact in the murder of Mary J’hagan will tie asked at the first ses sion of the next Grand Jury, accord ing to the present plans of Solicitor General Dorsey. The new Grand Jury w r ill meet the first week in September, and prob ably will have the request of th^ So licitor for the indictment of Conley as the first business for its disposal. The maximum sentence for this of fense is three years, but it is thought that Conley, as a self-confessed ac cessory and a State's witness, will get off more lightly than the maxi mum Frank told friends Wednesday that he was planning to have a large part in the conduct of the fight to obtain a reversal of the verdict of last Mon day afternoon.
