The Solicitor and the deteCtiN =

Of Attorney Arnold wnen the hear
ing on a new trial resumed Monday
morning The indictment against
Frank was brought before the Grand
Jury ever knew about Conley's con-
fession, before there ever was any
thing to warrant the Indictment. r
Just want to show the spirit that has
pervaded the investigation all the
way through.
The Solicitor contends that Con
ieys story damns I'rank, but this
indictment was drawn and returpcG
before ever the grand jurors were
aware Of the negro's statements ana
before there was anything 10 connect
Frank with the crime except his free
and voluntary admission that ne was
in the factory at the time Mary Pha-
gan came In TO get her pay.
Question OF perversion.
People have been only too eager
. 10 believe Frank a peryert. But from
what source did they get their infor-
nation? They got It from only one
person, the miserable lying Jim Con
lev. who knew his own neck was AT
stake. ! am making no charges, but
II required only the merest sugges-
ton from the detectives to persuade
Conley to utter this Infamous and
diabolicsl lie against Frank In order
to save his own neck.
What were the detectives doing
with Conlev al the time they had
him The States own witness, De
tective Harry Scott admitted that
they coaxed csjoled, threatened. led
and prompted the negro and pointed
out TO him the weak spots III MS
story and made him revise It,
The Solicitor claims that all the
crcumstances and all tho testimony
of the ca go sustain Jim Conley's story,
Conveys story never was corroborated
except in the facts which the detec-
lives knew before they had Conley's
confession and 10 which the confess
sion itself was made TO conform.
The jury was taking sound. and
mo- sense, in this trial, Conley was
not sustained by Monteen Slower
Far from It. HIS story was atcheJ
up to fit her TESTIMONY"
The la Nver went over each incl
dent and each particle OF estlmony
by watch the Solicitor argued during
the trial that Conlev was sustained.
Arnold contended that Conley was
supported by none OF the citations OF
Dorsey. and advanced his reasons
Arnold laughed a, the idea that
Conley watched Al Franks direction
while women visited the pencil fac
tory office.
