S TO SLATON URGES HOME SCIENCE COURSE AT OPENING OF SCHOOLS Somp of Atlanta’s pupils with shining morning faces, ready to he assigned to classes 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.
