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. It 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.. Leavitt's stenographsr.
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.
Conley Faces Arrest.
The new affidavit is interpreted to
mean that a warrant soon will be
sworn out through a magistrate's
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 affldavits 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
M. 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 men,
DRY or through trifiing inaccuracy
the prosecution asserted, the defense
would seek to take advantage of this
to impeach the witnesses testimony

Lake at Piedmont Gives Relief to
SweItering Throngs-Graar
Is Crowded.

Thousands Of pleasure seekers Fri
day splashed about in the waters Of
Piedmont Lake or sought refuge from
the hottest Fourth of July sun in
years in the shady drives of the va
rious parks.
Piedmont Park probably drew the
greatest crowds of people. They
came in droves. Families brought
their lunch baskets with them and
made a day of it. 1t was too hot for
the strenuous exertion of an old-tims
celebration, but in spite Of the torrid-
ity all appeared to enjoy the day Of
rest and to And some relief in the
fact that the celebration was not as
noisy as In some years.
Many of the children found their
greatest enjoyment at Grant Park
about the Zoo, where they stod for
hours watching tahe tigers, lions and'
monkeys.
In all the parks there were scores
Of picnic parties. The occasional
sputter of the small f1recracker was
heard, and every now and then some
one would set off a deafening giant
cracker, but most of this was confined
to the downtown districts where the
'newsies" occupied their spare time
in shatterinR the nerves of the pedes-
TRANS.
The golf courses, tennis courts and
lakes of the Capital City and East
Lake Country Clubs were crowded all
days, especially in the afternoon.

2-Cent Passenger
Rates for Arkansas

LITTLE ROCK, July 4-The two
cent passenger rate went into effect
in Arkansas to-day following an
agreement reached between counsel
for the Railroad Commission and the
railroads and based largely on the
recent decision of the United States
supreme Court. which upheld the
right of States to fix rates.
This ends a long legal battle by
the railroads to annul the two-cent
rate law enacted seven years ago.

ATLANTA BABIES
NEED YOUR MITE
Mothers Congress to Put Bottle:
in Stores for Contributions
to Milk Fund.

Every Albanian willing to spare a
few cents to save a baby life will be
given an opportunity Monday to con-
tribute to the Milk for Poor Babies
fund started by the Atlanta Mothers
Congress, under the direction of Mrs.
John Rowlett, of 1856 East Pine
Street.
Mrs. Rowlett said Friday morning
that Monday morning milk bottles
would be placed in every downtown
store for the receipt of contributions.
The bottles will be in conspicuous
places in the store.
You may drop into the bottles a
nickel or a dime or a quarter: or any
amount you feel like giving. A sub
sCription of any size will be welcome
and will be appreciated by the good
women who are trying to give the
poor babies of Atlanta a chance TO
live through the summer. Every
nickel donated will help in the fight
for the babies.
The Mothers Congress has decided
to put the bottles in stores because
responses to their appeal for a quart
of milk day have not been generous
enough to take care of all the babies
that require milk. The demand al
most doubles the supply.
Already SO children have been
placed on the lists.
Besides the twenty quarts day
subscribed by William Randolph
Hearst, there have been but nine peo-
pie in Atlanta who have shown
enough interest. Seven of these sub
scriptions provide for a quart of milk
each a day and two for pints
