An effort to increase the salaries Of
the members of the State Prison
Commission from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year was defeated in the House Mon
day following an hours debate. The

would move to reconsider the bill.

counties through which the road viii

next with a State road traversing

After some discussion, a motion

ct. IF that Mincey affidavit ever viii
be heard from again as a seriously
considered piece OF evidence in the
Phagan case. To my mind 1t means
absolutely nothing. The statement,
undoubtedly, was made and sworn II,
but the prosecution places no de-
pendence in It and will be able to dis
prove it If its signer Is called as a
witness in the case.
1T is difficult to understand, Of
be made in good faith. II It was
made in good faith, believe that
Mincey was lsboring under a dslu-
sion. Possibly he was talking to a
negro the afternoon of the crime.
When he read of the murder of the
little factory girl, the incidents of his
conversation with some unidentified
colOred man took on a form in his
excited imagination that made him
certain that this negro had told of
a killing and that the negro was Jim
Conley"
But the defense is firm in the be .
lief that the affidavit and Mincey's
testimony will be important in their
efforts to prove the innocence of
Frank and the guilt of Conley. This
part Of the defense will be strength
ened by character testimony for Min
cey and by statements from negro
women who are said to have over
heard the conversation between Con-
ley and Mincey in which the negro
is quoted as bOasting:
Il killed a girl to-day; / don't want
to kill anybody else"
Green Important Witness.
Much depends on the testimony of
the negro, Will Green, who has been
tracked through half dozen States
and is now believed to be in the hands
of detectives in Birmingham, Ala. The
report that he had declared he had
been an eyewitness of the attack
upon Mary Phagan and had asserted
that ii was negro who was guilty OF
the crime gave weight for the first
time to the possibility that direct evil
dence would be produced at the trial
of Leo Frank.
Until Green entered the case the
evidence against both Frank and Lee
was purely circumstantial. If Green
sticks to the story he is said to have
told to companions. it will throw the
bulk of the dependence for the con-
viction of Conley upon his evidence.
Green, according to report, told
friends he was shooting craps with a
negro on the first floor of the pencil
factory on Saturday, April IS. He Is
reported to have said a little girl came
down the steps and that his negro
companion, who was partially intoxi
Gated and had been losing money, de-
clared he was going to steal the girls
money.
Green demonstrated, he said. but
the other negro started toward the
girl and Green fed. The next Monday
he read of the murder and left for St.
Louis. 1t was at this city the hunt
for him began
