STATE To FIGHT
MOVE To INDICT
JIM CONLEY
Grand Jury Foreman Admits That
Action Against the Negro
Is Considered.

The reported proposal by some Of
the members of the Grand Jury TO
meet for an Investigation of Jim Con-
ley's connection with the murder OF
Mary Phagan has precipitated a
sharp struggle in which Solicitor
Dorsey has declared himself bitterly
opposed 20 any action looking toward
the indictment of the negro as a prin-
cipal in the crime or even as an ac-
cessory after the fact, as the negro
admits himself to be.
The fight has resolved itself into a
contest to determine whether Conley
shall go on the stand in the trial Of
Leo Frank as a reputable. trustwor-
thy and free citizen, the status in
which the Solicitor wishes 10 main
tain him, or as a prisoner with the
shadow Of an indictment hanging
over him
In the latter aspect, several of the
members of the Grand Jury are said
to contend that he should appear, in
asmuch as he is a confessed Access
sorry and possible principal.
The defense is said not to be OPP
pOSeu 10 the review OF the case by
the Grand Jury at this time nor to
the Indictment of Coniey. Luther
4. Rosser chief counsel for Frank,
has charged from the first that Con-
ley was the man guilty Of the STAY
ing of Mary Phagan, and 1t is pre-
sumed that he would be willing to
enjoy the tactical advantage that
the indictment Of Conley probably
would give the defense.
w. D. Beattie, foreman of the
Grand Jury, intimated Thursday
morning that the matter of calling
the body together to consider a Con-
ley Indictment was under consider
alton by. some OF the members, but
he said that no formal request had
as yet been made for him to convene
them. He said that he would issue
the call when he had received a sui
fiCient number OF requests.
II is understood that the requests
will be submitted TO the foreman
Thursday on the ground that the
evidence connecting Jim Gonley oil
rectly with the crime is infinitely
stronger than the evidence on which
Leo Frank was indicted about two
months ago, and that for this reason
Conley should not be permitted to go
before a jury as a free and unsus-
pected man and testify against
Frank
