her husband, and it has been snow n
how much the testimony Of Albert
Mcknight was worth, and yet IL

prosecuting officer, although at the
end of the trial there was some sho"

sympathy for the family Of the de-

Anyone reading the trial Of Con

Only stern duty impelled him TO

able by his speech IN this case, he
endeaVored to create this situation.
All the testimony in connection with
Conley's case except Gheesling. was
placed before the jury by agreement.
Selected extracts from the trial OF
my husband.
THE statement Of Conley was read
by agreement. an unprecedented
thing. / am told, in procedure under
the law of Georgia, if not that Of
every other civilized State. And why
was this? Conley had heretofore
sworn that he was unable to read,
therefore he could not. with propri-

statement.
Why Didn't He Go On Stand?
who. may | ask, was unwilling
that this negro should go on the
stand and make a statement? Since
he has been in the county jail no
opportunity has been afforded for the
rehearsing and fixing Of a tale. What
might he have said on the stand?
How consistent would 1t have been
with the story which he told against
my husband? The time since that
trial might have effaced some of this
memorized stuff, and some inklng Of
the real truth might have shown

dictory statement.
Was II merely because the slight
expense might have been saved the
State that this unusual thing was
arranged by counsel? A fair public
will some time determine this cor
rectly.
The testimony of DR.. Harris dur
ing the trial of my husband, was
insisted upon and upheld as that of
a great expert His ability to tell
the condition of the stomach's con
tents by virtue Of science was claimed
unfailing, and | am assured that in
the mind of the public the testimony
given by DIR. Harris on the trial was
convincing.
And yet, the testimony connect
ing my husband with the crime, and
which must of necessity, have shown
the crime to have occurred on the
second floor, was based almost en-
tirely, leaving out the story of Con-

The Hair Evidence.
This same Dr. Harris, expert
microscopic, declared to the Solici-

ing the trial Of the case, with this
knowledge derived from this leading
expert, the Solicitor was content TO

the girl's' and argued 10 the jury that

Bluffs police and detectives believe that
there is existing in this and adjoining

partly from further investigation of the

The organization, the police believe,
exists in Iowa. Nebraska, Illinois and
Missouri. They have information that
a Buick car stolen in Omaha recently
is in a garage at Minden. Iowa, where
it was abandoned by one of the men
who had the Jackson car taken by the
police with Beatty yesterday. The idea
of the police is that the syndicate steal
the cars, substitute number plates and
rush the cars into other states for dis

to be % or 20 years of age, says he is
