By AN OLD POLICE RE-
PORTER.

There were few Developments IN
the Phagan case last week that TO
my mind were worth considering
seriously OF that threw new light
upon the mystery.
Perhaps It was because OF this
that a good many people wrote
letters to THE Old Police Report
er"-sorns commencing my arti-
cleS others oondemning them; but
IN every case indicating clearly
that the interest has not lessened
observe that some Of the
State news papers are publishing
foolish little paragraphs, bearing
the Atlanta date line, TO the ef-
feot that the Hearst newspapers
have been bought to defend
Frank" This is too foolish to
notice.
Still other newspapers are TAX
ing advantage OF the silly season
10 point out various phases Of the
case that % my mind are neither
vital nor interesting.
Let me say again, positively
az can, that these articles writ
ten by an old police reporter, are
not for the purpose Of either maxi
ing a case for or against any
other individual.

LAWYER ARNOLD THINKS
LEO FRANK is INNOCENT

that they are prepared to go to trial
at any time, although less ornortunity
has been allowed them for preparation
than is customary. 1t Is reported that
no delay will be asked by the defense
unless some contingency arises that
has not been anticipated.
Attorney Arnold will enter actively
into the case at once. He already Is
familiar with the essential evidence
that has been produced by both sides
Conley Wants EARLY Trial.
Jim Conley, the negro sweeper at
the National Pencil Factory, talked
to reporter Saturday night for the
first time since he made his affidavit
confessing that he played a part in
the murder Of Mary Phagan.
COnley declared that the detectives
had told him he would be placed on
trial for his part in the murder on
Monday or Tuesday, and expressed
isappointment when he was told
that he might not be brought into
court for several weeks He said he
had hoped he would have the oppor-
tunity Of confronting Leo Frank and
charging him with the murder.
Il haven't changed my story any
since I've been here" COnley de-
clared. Il told the truth when said
l nelped Mr.. FRANK hide the DOdy or
the girl, and I'm going to stick to it,
I'm anxious to face Mr.. Frank and
tell my story to his face. The de-
tectives have told me I would see him
Monday or Tuesday, but I guess
won't if they are not going to have
the trial"
Conley declared vehemently that
he is innocent of the murder Of the
girl, and declared he is willing to
stay in Jail because, he says, he
knows he will be indicated.

well satisfied with what I have
Question Of
InnaQination.

There is one point of fact that
I shall touch upon o-day, and
that merely because I have been
called to account in that direction
by a correspondent, very courte-
ously, however This correspond
ent disagrees with my doubts as
to the complete truthfulness OF
the final Conley affidavit. and
gives II as his opinion COnley
could hardly have imagined or
made up the tale concerning
Frank he sets forth therein"
Well, Conley is three times a
confessed liar That is admitted
by all parties on all sides A pre-
sumption of lack OF veracity In
Conley is not unwarranted, there
fore. as to his fourth attempt 10
speak the truth,
Now, let's SEE whether Con-
lev could have imagined the
wonderful tale he tells of Franks
doings on the day Mary Phagan
was killed. as ingenious, in parts,
as that tale is.
A few days ago, Conley gave
out an affidavit concerning a new
phase Of the Phagan case. He
sets forth in detail how a GER
tain man had undertaken to feed
him sandwiches, which he de-
clared he suspected Of being
POISONED, and which he, there
fore. shudderingly REJECTED!
Quite dramatlc-even melOdra-
matte
The truth of the matter is, Con-
ley (and this has been establish-s
ed beyond all doubD RAVEN
OUSLY DEVOURED THE SIM
PIE SANDWICHES THIS MAN,
OUT OF MERE PASSING
KINDNESS, GAVE HIM, AND
PRONOUNCED THEM FINE
If Couley afterward imagined
all that poison stuff and nom
sense, with its melodramatic
turn, why could he not have i'm
agined, after three weeks in Jail,
the other melodramatic thing
involving Leo Frank, particular
" in seeking to throw aCcumu-
lating suspicion from himself?
Mind you, now, / have never
said that COnley killed Mary
Phagan-I merely have said that,
to MY mind, there is more rea-
son to SUSPECT that he did it
than to SUSPECT that Leo
Frank did it-and I stick to 1t,
because it is the thing l believed
| may be altogether wrong.
Maybe neither did it; maybe
both did it; maybe Frank ia it
and Couley was a mere acces-
sorry after fact The truth of
that is for the court to say.
And when, after this case
against Frank has been tried and
a verdict recorded, that verdict
will be the truth Of the proceed
ings. and the state or Leo Frank,
however things shall fall out
eventually. will be entitled to the
fun benefit of tin law and in
public opinion.
May we not, therefore, CON
tinue to possess our souls in pa
thence, and await in confidence
the final adjustment of RESPONSE
bility for one Of the most deplor-
able murders ever COnsummated
in the Capital City Of the Empire
State of the South?

be best suited to the establishment
OF justice and truth
And here a thought occurs to
me that is worth while comment
ing on perhaps.
A Orrcspondent--a very foolish
and misguided correspondent
addressed me a communication
early in the week, bitterly and
with utter unreason assailing Lu-
Their 4. Rosser for undertaking
the defense Of Frank. Rarely
have | read more unjust and I'M
necessary letter. II bristled with
invective and vehement protest
II went so far as to say that Mr..
Rosser Is Interested In the Frank
case knowing Frank TO be guilty,
and that he is prepared to stop at
nothing to free Frank of the law,

] shall not defend MT. RoSser.
He does not need H. The people
Of Atlanta know him. But does
not this correspondent know that
the law Of Georgia, Jealous Of
the rights and liberties Of the
people, not only confers upon a
defendant at bar the presumption
of innocence, but actually win not
PERMIT him to go TO trial, no
matter how poor and humble he
may be, WITHOUT COMPE-
TENT COUNSEL?

account. The American printed its
conclusions that he would become
Identified with the case. But Mr.. Ar
mold had not made his definite deci-
sion and refused to commit himself.
The entrance OF Mr.. Arnold into the
case gives the defense a formidable
array of legal talent. Both he and
Luther q. Rosser are in the forefront
Of their profession in Atlanta.
Solicitor General Dorsey made what
is generally regarded as the wisest
selection possible when he picked
Frank A. Hooper to assist in the
Frank trial Attorney Hooper is known
as one Of the most powerful prosecut-
ing lawyers Of the State and has made
a careful study of the case.
The Solicitor will return this after
noon from his weeks trip to New
York One of his first conferences
will be with Mr. Hooper, Judge Roam
and Mr.. Rosser in respect to the date
for the trial
Trial May Be Delayed.
1t is the opinion Of those interested
in the case that it will not be called
for trial on June 80, the date origi-
nally set. The trial is more likely
to begin either Monday, July IA, or
two weeks later, July rs. 1t is known
that the time of Judge Roam is free
these two weeks.
