Two indictments were founo
against Conley by the Fulton County
Grand Jury. Both charged him with
being accessory after the fact, but
one Of the indictments involved only
a misdemeanor while the other con-
stituted felony
A fine point Of law is involved
in the two indictments. Conley, on
his own confessions, was guilty Of
the misdemeanor by hiding the
knowledge of the crime from the Of
ticers untir he made his admission 20
the detectives some three weeks after
the Phagan girl was slain.
The felony indictment presuppJses
that Conley did hide, harbor or con

he did, was guilty of the felony in

In the event that Conley is con

troll and made wild pitch home, SO
wild in fact, that the other participant
in the game never got within stopping
distance of the ball, and 1t scared on

heard yesterday.
The ball thrown wild by the boys struck
Mr.. Dean on the shoulders, from which
it was alleged he had suffered paralysis
in that part of his body. Mr.. Dean has
no right arm, having lost that member IN
the civil war. Mr. Dean brought suit
against the railway company on the
grounds that it was negligence on Its
part to allow the boys in question to
play ball so near the depot, that such oc-
currences had been going on for some
time and that the company had had an
opportunity to stop them. The defense
based its arguments on the grounds that
il there was suit against anyone IL
was against the boy who threw the ball,
but that it was doubtful if there was
case against him.

DAVIS TELLS HOW

Baseball. the national pastime, was the
predomnating feature OF a hotly con-
tested lawsuit heard yesterday. The at
torneys arguments on both sides were
largely taken up with the alleged danger
or safety in participating in Americas
national game.
Because a baseball thrown by boy
a block away hit him on the shoulder
while he was standing on the grounds OF
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad
company, l.. Y. Dean yesterday sued the
railroad company for a large amount Of
damages. The jury brought in a verdict
for the defendant.
The case was tried in the United States
court before Federal Judge William l..
Grubb. and took up practically the en-
tire day. The incident which caused the
suit happened at Oneonta several months
ago, while Mr.. Dean, a. Birmingham in
surance man, was standing on or near
the platform of the Louisville and Nash
vile depot there waiting on a train.
1t happened that two boys We're playing
