AFFIDAVITS To

STORY FOUND
Attorney Leavitt Declares Tale
That CUnIey Admitted Killing
Girl Will Stand Test.
NEWT LEE STILL HELD IN JAIL
Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey
Promises to Present a Bill
Against Him as Suspect.

That several negro women over
heard Jim Conley when he ran the
insurance agent, Mincey, away with
the alleged statement that he had
just killed a girl and didn't want TO
kill anyone else, and that the affidav-
its from the women are in the hands
of the attorneys for the defense, was
stated Saturday by Attorney j. H.
Leavitt, who aided in obtaining the
sensational affidavit from Mincey.
Attorney Leavitt defended the
character of the man who made the
affidavit and denied emphatically that
Mincey even asked about the money
he would receive as a witness, except
whether his railroad fare would be
paid if he were out of the city.
Explains Dukes Doubts.
Il am attorney for the American
Insurance Company and know its
manager, ]. S. Dukes, very we'll" said
Leavitt. He sought to discredit the
affidavit very likely because Mincey
left his employ to get a better po-
sition, and he had to do some of the
outside work Mincey is a college
graduate and is well known in At
lanta. 1t will be utterly impossible
to shake his evidence.
Il am not employed to represent
Frank and aided in getting this af-
fidavit purely because l happened to
stumble on to the information. Be

Habeas Corpus Fight Fails.
Habeas corpus proceedings to re-
lease Newt Lee collapsed in the court
of Judge Ellis Saturday morning.
BY agreement, Bernard L. Chap
pell, representing Lee, withdrew his
application for a habeas corpus; So
licitor Dorsey promised to present a
bill against Lee as a suspect in the
Phagan murder case. with the expec-
tation that a mo bill" would be re-
turned. This appeared satisfactory to
the attorneys for Lee, as well as to
the State.
Luther T. Rosser, Reuben R. Ar
mold and Herbert ]. Haas. of counsel
for Frank, were in court to fight
against the appearance of Frank as
witness. William NJ. Smith repre-
sented Conley, one of the witnesses
subpenaed.
Conley Gets Third Degree.
Jim Conley underwent a racking
third degree late Friday afternoon at
the hands of Solicitor General Hugh
NJ. Dorsey and Attorney Frank A
Hooper in an effort to verify or dis
credit the w. H. Mincey affidavit, in
which the negro was charged with
confessing to the murder of a girl on
the afternoon that Mary Phagan met
her death.
The grilling of nearly four hours
followed The Georgian's publication
of the details of Mincey's accusations
and was undertaken with the utmost
secrecy, an attempt being made to
avoid knowledge of the Sweating"
becoming public by taking ConIey to
the Commissioners room on the sec
ond floor of the police station by a
circuitous route.
