CONLEY TRIAL ON
MERITS ASKED
BY DORSEY

That the disposition Of the cases
against Jim Conley, negro accuser Of
Leo NJ. Frank, convicted of the muir
der Of Mary Phagan will be no mere
cut-and- dried affair was indicated
Thursday afternoon when Jim was
taken before Judge Ben Hill.
The two cases-one charging a fell
ony and the other a misdemeanor-
we're read, and then Solicitor Dorsey
announced that he wanted the case
tried on its merits.
Judge Hill said he would hear the
case Friday morning. w. NJ. Smith,
the Negroes lawyer, was in court ready
to demand that his client be tried
There are all sorts of possibilities
latent in the trial OF Conley If he be-
gins to reCite once again the alleged
happenings in the pencil factory on
that tragic Memorial Day. 1t has
been expected that the negro would
plead guilty, but his lawyer says he
is confident that he can get him off
scott free.
Own Statements Against Him.
Solicitor Dorsey will use Conleys
own admission, in his startling
charges involving Frank, against him
a threat to file formal demand for
a trial If the negro's case was not
called before the adjournment Of
court for the day had been made by
Smith
1t was expected that Conleys case
would come up soon after his indict-
ment as accessory after the fact in
the murder of Mary Phagan, but the
judicial shake-up due to the creation
Of the new Atlanta Circuit postponed
it from time to time. Since the con-
Vening of the new court Smith has
been in constant attendance prepared
to defend his client, but the case has
not been called.
Impatient at Delay.
Becoming impatient at the delay,
Smith uttered his threat Thursday.
Soon after Conley was brought from
the Tower to the big cell near the
court OF Judge Ben Hill, and his case
was placed for the last of the day
Solicitor Dorsey said that he did
not know whether he would reach 1t
by the adjournment of court. In the
event of the filing OF a formal de-
mand for a trial and none is given
this term or the next the negro would
have to be freed, according to his
attorney.
Attorney Smith repeated his start
ling assertion that Conley, despite
his confession of completely in the
disposal of Mary Phagan's body, was
not guilty as an accessory after the
fact and could not be convicted either
on misdemeanor or felony charge.
