PRISON BOARD IS
DENIED BOOST
IN SALARY
Bill to Increase Compensation to
$4,000 Defeated-Cross-
State Road Act Held Up.

An effort to increase the salaries OF
the members of the State Prison
Commission from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year was defeated in the House Mon
day following an hours debate. The
vote was III to 80 against the adop-
ton Of the report of the penitentiary
Committee.
Arguments favoring the passage of
the bill were made by Representatives
Wohlwender Wimberly and Slater.
who insisted strenuously that a sal
airy Of $4,000 was absolutely made
quate for the service involved and
the caliber of the men composing the
present board.
Mr.. Wohlwender gave notice he
would move to reconsider the bill.
Delay Action on Road Bill.
The first bill to come up for a third
reading at the session Monday was
the one providing for a public high
way from the Kings Ferry Bridge on
the OgeeChee River, in Bryan County,
through the counties of Bryan, Lib
erty, Mcintosh, Glynn or Wayne and
Camden, to some suitable point on
the Florida line. the State to furnish
either 80 or 100 State cOnvicts to the
counties through which the road will
run. The proposed highway will con-
next with State road traversing
Florida.
After some discussion, a motion
postponing action on the report of the
committee, which was favorable, I'M
til Wednesday was carried. Three
hundred copies of the bill will be
printed and distributed among the
members in the meanwhile. Those
backing the bill have hopes of ulti-
mately extending the road clear across
the State.
Gambler County Gets Boost.
Gambler County received a boost
when the Constitutional Committee
reported it favorably. Action on il
will come up probably Wednesday or
Thursday.
A reconsideration of House Bill No.
SO, which was killed Friday, was
granted upon the motion of Repre-
sentative Darlington of Richmond
This bill provides for the forecIosing
of a mortgage within four weeks in
stead of four months, and the House
showed itself almost equally divided
on the question when it was put to
the vote last Friday.

be heard from again as a seriously
considered piece Of evidence in the
Phagan case. To my mind it means
absolutely nothing The statement,
undoubtedly, was made and sworn -,
but the prosecution places no de-
pehdence in It and will be able to dis
prove 1t if its signer is called as
witness in the case.
1T is difficult to understand Of
course, how such a statement could
be made in good faith. II It was
made in good faith, l believe that
Mincey was laboring under a dslu-
sion. Possibly he was talking to a
negro the afternoon of the crime.
When he read of the murder OF the
little factory girl, the incidents Of his
conversation with some unidentified
COlored man took on a form in his
excited Imagination that made him
certain that this negro had told of
a killing and that the negro was Jim
Conley"
But the defense is firm in the be.
lief that the affidavit and Mincey's
testimony will be important in their
efforts to prove the innocence of
Frank and the guilt of Conley. This
part of the defense win be strength
ened by character testimony for Min
cey and by statements from negro
women who are said to have over
heard the conversation between Con-
ley and Mincey in which the negro
is quoted as boasting:
Il killed girl to-day; l don't want
to kill anybody else"
Green important Witness.
Much depends on the testimony OF
the negro. Will Green, who has been
tracked through a half dozen States
and is now believed to be in the hands
of detectives In Birmingham, Ala. The
report that he had declared he had
been an eyewitness of the attack
upon Mary Phagan and had asserted
that il was a negro who was guilty OF
the crime gave weight for the first
time to the possibility that direct evil
denCe would be produced at the trial
of Leo Frank.
Until Green entered the case the
evidence against both Frank and Lee
was purely circumstantia II Green
sticks to the story he is said to have
told TO companions, il will throw the
bulk of the dependence for the con-
viction of Coniey upon his evidence.
Green, according to report told
friends he was shooting craps with
negro on the first floor of the pencil
factory on Saturday. April 26 He is
reported to have said little girl came
down the steps and that his negro
companion, who was partially intoxi-
Gated and had been losing money de-
clared he was going to steal the girls
money.
Green demonstrated, he said, but
the other negro started toward the
girl and Green fled. The next Monday
he read of the murder and left for St
Louis. 1t was at this city the hunt
for him began
