FOR
LEE RELEASE
DELAYED
Watchman's Lawyer Says He Will
Await Return Of Dorsey Before
Filing Habeas Corpus.

On account of the absence from the
city Of Prosecuting Attorney Hugh NJ.
Dorsey, Bernard L. Chappell, attor-
ney for Newt Lee, announced Satur-
day that he would not file writ Of
habeas corpus until Monday. He
claims in the petition for the re-
lease of the negro that Lee is being
held unlawfully and without any
charge against him.
Solicitor Dorsey left for his coun-
try place at Valdosta, Ga. Saturday
morning. He will return Monday.
Solicitor General Hugh NJ. Dorsey
will ask the courts to hold the negro
as a material witness for the State,
or may charge him with being an
accessory. He was determined Fri
day to take no chances on so impor-
tant a witness getting out of his con-
troll as he feared the negro might
get beyond the jurisdiction of the
courts If given his liberty.
Attorney Chappell and Solicitor
Dorsey had agreed, when the negro
was committed to jail, to keep him
there until the trial. Chappell noti-
fed Dorsey Wednesday that he
wished to withdraw from the agree
ment and get his client freed.
Chief Discounts coniey Rumor.
The announcement Friday that the
defense had secured an important and
damaging affidavit that connected the
States star witness, Jim Conley, more
directly with the crime created a
sensation in the ranks of the prosecu-
ton.
Chief of Detectives Newport A.
Lapford announced that every move
ment of the negro on the day of the
crime had been checked up" and
that II was matter of impossibility
to find anything more damaging
against him than his admission that
he helped dispose of the body at the
request of Frank.
In commenting on the affidavit Sc
cured at the office of Joseph H. Lea
witt Thursday the attorney said that
il would be almost impossible for the
prosecution to break down any state
ment that was made in the affidavit
when the witness was placed on the
stand.
Calls Evidence Vital.
He said the witness was a citizen
of high standing and would be one CT
the most important for the defense of
Frank.
Attorney Leavitt said that this par
tiCular affidavit was one of more than
so that had been recently secured that
dealt almost exclusively with the
movements of the negro on the day
Of the murder While he would not
comment at any length, he intimated
that the defense had been able to es
tablish conclusively the exact time
Conley entered and left the factory.
He also intimated that affidavitS
had been secured that would show
what time Monteen Slower entered
and left the factory and be able TO
prove she left before Mary Phagan's
car reached the vicinity of the. pencil
factory.
