SWEEPING DENIAL
OF CONLEY STORY
MADE BY FRANK

Atlanta, August 1s.-Leo NJ. Frank,
on trial here for the murder of 14-year-
old Mary Phagan, today made an ex-
tended statement In his own behalf, at
the close of which the defense an
nounced its case completed.
After relating to the jury the story
of his early life leading up to the time
he assumed charge of the National
Pencil company's plant here, Frank
made sweeping denial of the acts
with which he is charged by the state.
He described in detail his movements
on the day of Mary Phagan's disap-
pearance as we'll as that following.
when the girls mutilated body was dis
covered in the factory basement. Speak
ing of the murder Frank said:
Il know nothing whatever Of the
death of Mary Phagan." Frank char
acterized Conley's testimony as a
tissue of lies" and denied that he had
ever been guilty of immoral conduct
such as that described by the negro.
1t is expected that introduction of
evidence in rebutal by the state will be-
gin tomorrow.
