WITNESS TELLS OF MURDER.
Leo Frank Accused of killing Mar,
Phagmn in Factory.

Atlantis, Ga, Aug. +-one of the most
revolving stories ever heard in a court
room was told today at the trial of Leo
Frank. on the charge of numbering little
Mary Phagan.
James Conley. the negro sweeper at
Franks pencil factory. swore that Frank
had attacked the girl: that she resisted,
and Frank struck her. rendering her
unconscious, and that subsequently
strangled her for fear of the story the
girl would tell if she left the factory
alive.
So revolving was Conleys testimony
that Judge Roam ordered every woman
to leave the courtroom. Conley swore
that he had been paid by Frank TO act
as lookout whenever the superinten-
dent received a girl visitor in his office
and that a regular system OF signals had
been arranged between himself and Frank
so that the latter could be warned OF
the approach Of other persons.
