Attorneys for Defense Working
to Secure Affidavits Show
ing Prejudice.
Continuod from Pag® t.
and intimidation by the clamor of
the crowds that several times mani
fested their hostility toward Frank
and their approval of Dorsey’s ef
forts to convict him.
A strong tight also will be made *n
the fact that parts of Conley’s testi
mony, admittedly incompetent at the
time they were given, were allowed
to stay in the records when the de
fense made an objection on the fal
lowing day.
Detectives Seek New Evidence.
Solicitor Dorsey Is combating every
move of the defense. He has convict
ed his man; he believes absolutely
in his guilt of the prisoner, and ne
does not Intend that any efTort *o
save Frank's life shall be successful.
The Solicitor has three detectives
working on the case whenever Ad
ditional Information comes to his of
fice. Detectives Starnes. Campbell
and Rosser have been detailed on
certain angles, just as they were be
fore the trial and before the State
was rewarded with a conviction.
Dorsey is said to have a score of
new witnesses in readiness in t he event
that the defense is able to get a new
trial from Judge Roan or the Su
preme Court. One of them Is said to
be a jailer who was on guard In
Frank's part of the Tower during the
period before the trial.
Newt Lee Disappears;
Detectives Search City.
City detectives are making a close
search of the city for Newt Dee, the
negro night watchman at the Na
tional Pencil Factory, who mysteri
ously disappeared after his release
from the Tower August 26. He is
wanted as a witness before the Grand
Jury Tuesday, when the Jim Conley
case will be taken up by Solicitor
Dorsey.
Even Dee's attorneys, Graham &
Chappell, are in ignorance as to his
\s hereabouts, according to their reply
to City Detective R. H. Starnes’ re
quest of them for his address.
The negro was to meet the detec
tives at police headquarters Saturday
night, but did not appear. His fail
ure to show up was not regarded as
important until the detectives failed
to find him Monday. The fact that he
could not be located at anv of the
places where they felt certain of find
ing him and that his attorneys also
knew nothing of him caused the of
ficers to redouble their effort*
Dee Is regarded as one of the most
important witnesses in the effort :o
indict Conley. Ah a matter of fact,
he will be practically the only witness
called by the Solicitor, as Conley’s
admission that he helped move th*
body is regarded as sufficient to
bring an Indictment as an accessory
after the fact.
Since Dee’s release from the coun
ty jail his attorney# hav* filed a pe
tition with the Board of County Com
missioners asking that he be paid for
the time he was held In the Tower as
a witness. No action has been taken
by the Commissioners beyond refer
ring the matter to the attorney for
the board for an opinion. Some of
the Commissioners favor paying the
negro. Duther Roseer is County At
torney.

Expected Tuesday.
The case against* Jim Conley,
charged with being an accessory after
the fact in the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, will be taken up by the Grand

papers regarding the case ready.

“I won’t sign any of these checks
