FRANK CASE ARGUED
BY ATLANTA PASTOR
Rector Of Prominent Church Is
sues a Card Asking for
u Retrial.
CONLEY WILL SEE BURNS
Negro Accomplish Promises to
Answer All the Detectives
Questions.

ATLANTA, March Traditional evil
dence was secured to-day by the attor-
neys for Leo Frank to support their
charge that he was convicted OF the mur.
der OF Mary Phagan on evidence that was
concocted by city detectives. This new
evidence was furnished In an affidavit By
w. s: Jenkins and his wife.
Their affidavit states that detectives
came TO their home one Sunday. and again
the following Monday. and interviewed
their daughter. who is now in the re-
formatory at Milledgevillc. and that one
Of the detectives told the girl he would
give her part Of his salary II she would
swear she was the girl ~ the red dress
who YVES supposed TO have gone to the fac
try with Mary Pnagan and to have been
told by Frank that she need not wait for
Mary. as she would be detained for som,
time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jenkins say that their
daughter told the detectives repeatedly
that she was not the girl In the red dress,
that she did not know either Mary Pha-
gan or Frank and that she had never
VISITED the factory. They assert that the
detectives were threat. ming in manner
AMI said that they had good grounds for
locking the girl up. They say the girl
swearing to false testimony against
Frank.
The declaration OF the negro. Jim Conley.
convicted as an accomplish in the Mary
Phagan murder. that he IL perfectly
willing to see Detective William J. Burns
and answer every question put TO him
was an unlocked for d,veiopment to-day.
Burns is expected Tomorrow. Conley asks
only that some other white man besides
Burns. some one not friend to Frank,
BE- present at the interview.
The Rev. c. X. Wilmer. rector OF St
Luke's Episcopal Church. issued to-day a
card calling for new trial for Frank.
Mr.. wilmer says In part
ought Atlanta to stand for trial
conducted under the conditions surroun l.
ing this trial? On this question Atlanta
herself Is on trial before the bar OF en-
lightened public opinion all over the coun-
try. and perhaps all over the civilized
world.
1T seems TO me that there should be
retrial OF this case. conducted in what
/ one might call more judicial atm IS
phere. esp scially in view OF the fact that
the trial Judge himself was not convinced
either way.
"Analyzing the note written admittedly
by Conley It seems exceedingly improba bl 4
that this note. so full OF negro super
stition. should have been dictated by a
white man. This point was not brough,
to the attention Of the jury and Ia GER
