Guilty Only to Misdemeanor.
Judge Sought,

Jim Conveys trial on felony

the murder Of Mary Phagan will be
strongly combated by his attorney,
W. NJ. Smith, according TO announce
ment made Tuesday.
It is she contention that Conley. on
the States own theory Of the crime.
is guilty Of nothing more than a mis-
dcmeanor, and that he can not be
tried for a crime OF which he is not
accused.
Two indictments were drawn
against the negro at the last session
Of the Grand Jury. One charged him
with a misdemeanor and the other
with a felony. A nice point OF law
has arisen on the felony indictment.

accessory after the fact, to be liable
to punishment as a felon. must have
hidden, harbored or concealed" the
person guilty of the capital crime, as
well as to have withheld the infor-
nation of the crime from the officers.
Fight Centers on One Word.
If an attempt is made to try Con-
ley on the felony charge, a legal fight
viii ensue on the Interpretation OF
the word conceal" The State win
contend that it has a broad meaning,
which includes assisting the culprit to
escape and concealing his Identity
from the authorities. This. the Pros
ecutor will contend. admittedly was
done by Conley when he shielded
Frank for several weeks.
Conleys attorney, on the other
hand, will insist that the law be in
terpreted with the strictest literal
ness. Legal citations will be made
to show that conceal in the statutes
means nothing else than hiding or
harboring the person of the guilty
man This, the Negroes lawyers will
insist Conley did not do.
Case May Come Up September 20.
Conley will he allowed to plead
guilty to the misdemeanor charge and

western portion of the lagoon, while a
similar group representing Modern
Civilization will occupy the eastern
portion.
The dominating architectural fea-
ture of the exposition, the four hun
dred and thirty foot Tower of Jewels,
will be decorated with much sculpture
of purely ornamental character, as
well as the repeated figure of an ar
mored horseman. Terminating the
open colonnades on each side of the

Two south courts will open from

tropical garden lying between the
group and the exposition fence. One
of these will be the Court of Flowers

Occupying positions relatively east

the superb night illumination of the
great court which, at night, will be
transformed into a magical, mystical
fai-yland. Great globes surmounted
by figures representing sunrise and
sunset and typifying the Rising and
Setting Suns, will give forth at night
an incandescent glow. Columns of
thick white glass seventy feet in
height and rising from the center of
the fountains will diffuse a soft white
light throughout the court, completely
illuminating its Tecesses. At the base
of each fountain will be basins in
which reclining figures representing
the planets viii! again surmount the
globes of light behind which the water
will fall in screens.
In the center of the Court Of Sun

compositions of the four elements, Fire,
Water, Earth and Air, will be set in
a sunken garden. These figures, capa-
Bile of most symbolical, imaginative
rendering, are being designed by Mr.
Robert |. Aitkin. Facing each of the
two arches in the court will be Yerti-
