ellie said NO told you there negroes here it

about negroes and talking till he of patience All this
time kept walking and looking He followed everywhere
learned later that the man whom talk

Ny talk with Jim Conley Saturday afternoon convinced
that he had killed thought he had but knowing
impossible for him to be connected with this unless he there
got of patience with Holloway much he with
saw everything disturbed and torn up and Holloway
mad was mad At last turned him and told him
that that little girl left that building after she
and that the building who knew the building killed
her Things becoming confused the building, and
after another pary with him about being there
and left the building, thoroughly disguised,
Well this seemed eliminate Jim Conley his words

He said: Il tell you not to come down here.
When he ! coming anyway, he jumped up, and
of the house he said Il have killed
to-day and | don't want to kill another.
said Well day is enough that is 365 year, turned
and walked off.
Now. this told me his jim COney. He told
lived 172 Rhodes talking him somewhere
about of Saturday April 26 He told
he had killed girl that day Again he told me he had killed
that day and he did not want to kill another

er, "if that Mincey affidavit ever VIII
be heard from again as a seriously
considered piece of evidence in the
Phagan case. To my mind it means
absolutely nothing. The statement
undoubtedly, was made and sworn -,
but the prosecution places no de-
pendence in it and Will be able to dis
prove it II its signer is called as a
witness in the case.
1T is difficult to understand, Of
course, how such a statement could
be made in good faith. If it was
made in good faith, l believe that
Mincey was laboring under a delu-
sion. Possibly he was talking to a
negro the afternoon of the crime.
When he read of the murder of the
little factory girl, the incidents Of his
conversation with some unidentified
colored man took on a form in his
excited imagination that made him
certain that this negro had told of
a killing and that the negro was Jim
Conley."
But the defense is firm in the be-
lief that the affidavit and Mincey's
testimony will be important in their
efforts to prove the innocence of
Frank and the guilt of COnley. This
part of the defense will be strength
ened by character testimony for Min
cey and by statements from negro
women who are said to have over
heard the conversation between Con-
ley and Mincey in which the negro
is quoted as boasting:
81 killed a girl to-day I don't wa nj

Green Important Witness.
Much depends on the testimony OF
the negro, Will Green, who has been
tracked through a half dozen States
and is now believed to be in the hands
Of detectives in Birmingham, Ala. The
report that he had declared he had
been an eyewitness of the attack
upon Mary Phagan and had asserted
that IT was negro who was guilty Of
the crime gave weight for the first
time to the possibility that direct evil
dence would be produced at the trial
Of Leo Frank.
Until Green entered the case the
evidence against both Frank and Lee
was purely circumstantial. If Green
sticks to the story he Is said to have
told to companions, 1t will throw the
bulk of the dependence for the con-
viction Of Conley upon his evidence
Green, according to report, told
friends he was shooting craps with a
negro on the first floor of the pencil
factory on Saturday, April 26. He IS
reported to have said a little girl came
down the steps and that his negro
companion, who was partially intoxi-
Gated and had been losing money de-
clared he was going to steal the girls
money.
Green demonstrated, he said, bu'
the other negro started toward the
girl and Green fled. The next Monday
he read of the murder and left for ST
Louis. II was at this city the hunt
for him began.
