NEW TESTIMONY
LAYS CRIME To
CONLEY
Frank Defense Locates Witness
Who Points to the Negro
Sweeper as Slayer.

A new witness, said to have the
most damaging evidence yet pro-
duced against Jim Conley, the negro
sweeper in the National Pencil fac
tory, entered the Phagan case Thurs
day and made an affidavit, the con-
tents 70 which are carefully guarded
by attorneys for Leo NJ. Frank,
charged with causing the death of
the factory girl.
The identity of the witness is as
much a secret as the exact nature
of his testimony. 1t was learned,
though, that the affidavit was made
in the law office of Joseph Leavitt in
the Grant Building and was wit
messed by Mr.. Leavitts sIenographer.
1t is said the testimony of this
man connects COnley more directly
with the crime than any other state
ment or affidavit yet procured by the
defense. The witness is understood
to have seen Conley on the after
noon of the crime and to have heard
him make remarks in his drunken
condition which were extremely in
eliminating.
Ooniey aces Arrest
The new affidavit is interpreted to
mean that warrant soon will be
sworn out through a magistrates
court for the arrest of Conley. Will
liam NJ Smith attorney for Conley,
said several days ago that If his
client was made a defendant in the
case he would retaliate upon the law
| yers for Frank by issuing subpenas
duces tecum, commanding them to
| appear in court with all the impor-
tant statements and aff1davits which
they have obtained from witnesses
| for their side of the case.
Such a move would be giving the
attorneys for Frank a little of their
own medicine. as Attorney Rosser
created a sensation a week ago by
! issuing subpenas duces tecum for
| Solicitor Dorsey, Chief Beavers, Chief
Lanford, Pinkerton Detective Harry
Scott and all the city detectives who
| had worked on the Phagan mystery.
They were commanded to bring
into court all affidavits and state
ments Of Jim Conley, Newt Lee, w.
NJ Matthews. Monteen Slower and
| other vital witnesses for the State.
Branded as Trick"
Solicitor Dorsey and Attorney
| Frank A Hooper, who is associated
with Mr.. Dorsey in the prosecution,
at once branded the move as a thin
| trick for the purpose Of discrediting
the States witnesses. The sworn
statements would be used they said,
| to compare with the testimony of the
| States witnesses when on the stand.
If there were the slightest devia-
ton through a natural lapse of mem
| DRY or through trifiing inaccuracy,
the prosecution asserted, the defense
would seek to take advantage of this
| to impeach the witnesses testimony
