The electrocution was wltne.^sed by Penitentiary Commissioners and 25 visitors, including reporters, although under the new law newspapers are not allowed to print details of execu tions A misdemeanor charge may be the most serious on which Jim Conley, confessed accessory' after the fact in the murder of Mary Phagan. may be tried. This developed Friday when preparations were being made to ask for his Indictment by the Fultcfh County Grand Jury. A delicate point in the interpreta tion of the law’ is involved In Con ley’s case. It had been expected that he would be tried on a felony charge, but several lawyers who have inves tigated the law on the point say that it is doubtful if this can be made in view of the circumstances of the case as developed in the testimony dur ing the trial of Leo M. Frank for the murder. What Constitutes Felony. An accessory after the fact may be found guilty of a felony if, in the Vecords of the law’, he “harbors or conceals” the perpetrator of a crime punishable by death or life imprison ment and withholds from the officials the information of the crime. The misdemeanor charge may he made when information of this sort is withheld, no mention being made of harbor!^' or concealing the per petrator. Conley’s story, as it was told to the jury in the Frank trial, involved at no point the “concealing" of Frank in the accepted meaning of the term. Unless it can he given a broader meaning, it Is thought by many law yers that the misdemeanor charge is the most serious that can .be brought against the negro. bridges destroyed and lumber mills badly damaged.

Woodward s ttack on the new charter and the i city officials who are supporting it at j the meeting -of the South Side Im- i provement Association, in the Pryor Street School Thursday night, has resulted in a movement to get up a bigger meeting to hear a second speech and put more ginger in the election fight. The fact that there were less than 100 persons present caused Mayor Woodward to declare that the crowd was not big enough for him to go fully into Atlanta’s political situation, but if they would get up a real meet ing he would give them some “red- hot” stuff. Leaders in the organization have taken him at his word, and in an ticipation of a stirring campaign be tween now and the election on the new charter on September 24. are planning to give Mayor Woodward an opportunity to spread himself. Charges “Ring” Runs Eoards. Judging by his attacks Thursday night, which were so hot that Dr. J. G. Rradfleld, chairman of the meet ing, left during the talk and later resigned his chairmanship, the next speech Is expected to be a “hum dinger.” He amplified some of his statements in an interview Friday morning, and here are the ideas he wants Impressed: “That a ’ring’ is in control of all the boards of the city. ‘T don’t care anything about Dr Bradfleld’s -ratuitous insults after I had left the meeting. If he and all of his kind should resign all their official poaitlons, the city probably would be better off. “That the object of the new’ char ter is to perpetuate his ‘ring’ of bosslsm. “It abolishes the Police Commis sion and creates a Board of Public Safety. Under the present charter the chairman of the Police Commission !s prevented from succeeding hlmse f on the commission ^t the expiration of his term next March. Charter Framet by “Gang.” “The adoption of the new charter w’ould mean that the fire department would be turned over to the old crowd that has run the police department for so long. "The new charter was framed in a back room of private offices by a gang of men who would tell you, the people, to go to h— L if you’ll pardon the phrase, it it served their pur pose.” Turning to the more personal phases of the meeting Thursday nlghfcr Mayor Woodward snid that ho had nothing but good will in his heart for ex-Mayor Courtland S. Winn, and that he was going to call him up and explain his attitude to day. He recalled the exact words which Dr. Bradfleld Interpreted \s an attack on hi9 brother-in-law, ex- Mayor Winn, and left the meeting. “I asked them why they had not gotten improvements on the South Side,” said Mayor Woodw’ard. “I told them they had had the Mayor and a majority of the Council from their section. “Later I said if the city govern ment had continued to be run as it was the last six months of last year, the city’s income would not be suffi cient to pay the Installments on il legal moral obligations, to say noth ing of the fixed expenses of running the city. “I never mentioned Mayor Winn’s name. “If Dr. Bradfleld is so averse to as sociating with me, he might resign from the Board of Health. He and a good bunch of his crow’d could get out, and the city would not suffer.” After Mayor Woodward had left the meeting Thursday night, Dr. Bradfleld returned and said: “Gentlemen, I must apologize for leaving the room during that speech. But I could not sit here and listen to the attack on ex-Mayor Winn. I must resign from the chairmanship of this organization. I can not asso ciate* w’ith a man whom I would not take Into my own home."
