CONLEY TOFIGHT
FELON CHARGE
BITTERLY
Attorney Will Permit Him to Plead
Guilty Only to Misdemeanor.
Judge Sought.

Jim ConIey's trial on felony
charge as accessory after the fact in
the murder Of Mary Phagan will be
strongly combated by his attorney,
W. NJ. Smith, according to announce
mcnt made Tuesday.
II is the contention that Conley. on
the States own theory of the crime.
is guilty of nothing more than a mis-
demeanor and that he can not be
tried for crime Of which he is not
accused.
Two indictments were drawn
against the negro at the last session
Of the Grand Jury One charged him
with misdemeanor and the other
with a felony. A nice point of law
has arisen on the felony Indictment.
the Georgia statutes providing that an
accessory after the fact. to be liable
to punishment as a felon. must have
hidden. harbored or concealed" the
person guilty Of the capital crime. as
well as to have withheld the infor-
nation Of the crime from the officers.
Fight Centers on One Word.
If an attempt is made to try Con-
ley on the felony charge. a legal fight
win ensue on the Interpretation of
the word conceal" The State viii
contend that it has a broad meaning,
which includes assisting the culprit to
escape and conceaIing his Identity
from the authorities. This. the Pros
ecutor will contend. admittedly was
done by Conley when he shielded
Frank for several weeks.
Conley's attorney, on the other
hand, win insist that the law be in
terpreted with the 'strictest literal
ness. Legal citations will be made
to show that conceal" in the statutes
means nothing else than hiding or
harboring the person OF the guilty
man This, the neCros lawyers will
insist Conley did not do.
Case May Come Up September %.
Conlev will be allowed to plead
guilty to the misdemeanor charge and
nothing more. The carrying Of the
girls body to the basement was a
part OF the Negroes action in with
holding knowledge of the crime from
the officers, and did not in itself con-
stitute a felony, Il is held.
The negTo's case probably will come

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 16.-FaI-
con and Hope Islands, Of the Friendly

them, several hundred natives and a
few white men also have disappeared.
This news was brought to San

ing was given over almost entirely to
speech-m making by gentlemen from
various points throughout the State
while the executive committee was
working out the problems of a con-
stitution and bylaws and nominal
tons for officers of the permanent
organization.
Friendly but acute rivalry soon de-
veloped on the floor in the matter of
a president of the State Chamber of
Commerce and the location of its per
manent headquarters. Prominent bid
ders for the headquarters are Atlanta
Macon, Albany, Americas and Griffin,
while numerous places had faVorite
sons who wished to serve as presi-
dent
1t has been particularly noticeable,
however that none Of this rivalry
was tinged in any manner by bitter
ness or harshness. If ever before in
Georgia an organization of this sort
was perfected amid more genuine
harmony and real good fellowship. no
one here seems to know where and
when it was.
Many Subjects Discussed.
Every topic Of interest conceivable
in the business world Of Georgia was
discussed All the way from bank
ing and school to blowing and hog
culture. 1t is the purpose Of the State
Chamber of Commerce to touch ev-
cry note in the keyboard Of industrial
progress in Georgia to the genuine
good of the State in all directions
After much discussion the State
Chamber Of Commerce named Mr.
Haden president The place Of per
manent headquarters will be decided
later by the executive committee of
tn chamber.
Mr.. Haden acted as temporary
chairman Of to-day's meeting, and his
nomination to the permanent presi-
dency gave unanimous satisfaction.
Constitution and bylaws providing
for a great and catholic orgauiza-
ton were adopted
The greatest and most impressive
showing made by any visiting delega-
ton was that Of the DeKalb County
organization Headed by a score or
more members Of the Decatur Board
of Trade, a dozen prosperous and pro-
gressive farmers and a cracker jack
drum corps of Boy Scouts, this dele
cation paraded the streets and the
convention hall, and everywhere it
went II was received with loud and
prolonged applause, while Wilmer
Moore, Of Atlanta, probably made the
very best speech of the many really
good speeches
Other Officers Named.

poses complete upon the occasion Of

organization, inasmuCh as it was in
Atlanta that the idea OF State
Chamber organization was conceived
and where in its preliminary details,
il Was worked out. Notwithstanding
this primary of the Atlanta boone $
for the State Chamber, however. the
matter of effeCting permanent organ
ization was participated in by all the
sections of the State generally, and no
one county or section In any way
dominated the proceedings.
Expect 10000 Members in Year.
The State Chamber expects to run
its membership well over 5000 from
the beginning and to double that or
more within the next twelve months.
Il also proposes to work through the
county and municipal commercial
bodies in working inside Georgia, and
to work within itself and by Itself
outside the State, so far as boosting
and pushing the State abroad is cor
Cerned.
