STORY Of NEGRO
MAY DECIDE CASE:
On His Evidence Charge Against
Frank Will Stand
or Fall.

Atlanta. Ga, August 3.-Having de-
voted an entire week TO the introduce
ton of evidence designed to show
that Leo NJ. Frank had ample oppor
tunity to kill fourtecn-year- old Mary
Phagan, for which crime he is now
being tried. attorneys for the State
are expected, when the case is re-
sumcd tomorrow. to direct their ef-
forts toward fastening the murder di-
rectly upon the accused.
That Solicitor General Dorsey has
worked Systematically to forge a chain
OF circumstantial evidence about
Frank during the past week is gen
orally conceded. II is also believed
tha. the greater part of the states
evidence has been introduced with the
idea of leading up to the testimony of
the negro sweeper. James Conley, by
which it Is believed the States case
will stand or collapse.
While the state placed only twenty
six witnesses under oath at the begin
ming of the trial. thirty have been
called to the witness stand. and more
will be introduced during the coming
week
L is admitted by both the prosecu-
ton and the defense that Conley's ap-
pearance upon the stand will be the
crisis of the case. 1t is predicted with
confidence that when Conley tells of
having assisted Frank in dsposing of
the girls body, the defense will en-
deavor to extract from the negro an
admission that he, and not Frank, was
the murderer. Solicitor General Dor
sey has expressed his firm belief In
Conley's story.
1t was not expected tonight by
those familiar with the case that the
negro Conley would be placed on the
stand before Tuesday,
