have been an accessory to the crime
and would have been liable to the
death penalty.
Mystery in Notes.
Another weird feature is contained
in one of COnley's stories of the note
writing He said that he wrote one
Of the notes and that Frank wrote
another. Yet the two notes are ad-
mittedly in identically the same
handwriting
After this is explained, those in
terested in the case will ask how
Frank could have been satisfied with
these incoherent notes, in the first
place. It will be represented that il
the notes actually had been dictated a,
as the negro says they were. there
would have been some intelitgibility
and evident sequence to the notes
Instead, they say. the notes are exact

and ignorant person.
oarley's Contradiction.
No explanation ever has been given
Of the wide discrepancies in the time
Of different events on the day Of the
tragedy. as narrated by the negro
and as described by others who were
actual participants in the events. One
Of the most glaring is that Of the
conversation which Conley says he
overheard between Foreman barley
and Miss Matte Smith Conley has
declared that he heard this between
II and Il o'clock. barley insists that
he left the factory with Miss Smith at
$3.50 in the morning. At this time
Conley says he was not in the factory,
but that he came later at the invita-
ton Of Frank.
Conley may not be able to explain
these breaks in his story at this time,
but he surely viii be asked to explain
them satisfactorily when he is called
as a witness in the trial of Frank.

Of a prosecuting attorneys duty was

Solicitor Hugh N. Dorsey replied Fri
day to the letter Of Mrs. Leo NJ,

COlyar made a similar denial.
Following the examination,
Lanford declared that the whole
report was wholly without foun-
dation. He also stated that Con-
ley had reiterated the truth of
his former affidavit and that
there was nothing further to add
to it.

Charges Fielder Plot.
This irst became noticeable when
Fielder endeavored to secure the re-
lease of Conley His Interior motive,
I am sure. was the protection of
Frank. He had been informed that
the negro had this damaging evidence
against Frank and Fielder did all N

Peculiar Features.
A feature of Conley's afhdavits and
stories which has struck many who
have read them over is the apparent
care which has been taken i'm franz
ing tine declarations so that Conley
can not be hello as an accessory to
the murder itself. and so that the in
dictiuent can hold which charges Leo
Frank of killing Mary Phagan by
srraEguldtion.
In the sensational affidavit i'm which
Conlev swore that he helped Frank
dispose of the body, there was no
mention Of the cord with which the
stranEulation was supposed 20 have
been accomplished. It was orJy said
that Frank had told Conley that girl
had hit her head against something
back there This left nothing IN the
negro's story to indicate that the kill
ing had been other than accidental
The indictment charging strangula-
ton would have had no support in
the negro's story
An Omission Supplied.
But the day that the negro went
through the factory with the detec-
tives and re-enacted the tragedy. this
omission was supplied. Conley was
standing at the point where he said
he had found the body and was de-
scriblrg the manner in which II lay
