by means Of this affidavit, although
by reason OF the law / was compelled
to remain silent and refused an op-
portunity of denying this miserable
concoctiOn
Scores the Solicitor.
Notwithstanding Minola Mcknight
had given this repudiated affidavit, II
was necessary to place her on the
stand on account of the testimony OF
her husband, and 1t has been shown
how much the testimony of Albert
Mcknight was worth, and yet II
served its horrible purpose.
Il feel compelled to call attention
to the animosity displayed by the
prosecuting officer, although at the
end OF the trial there was some show
Of tears, caused, it was said, by some
sympathy for the family Of the de-
fendant who viii say now that these
tears had any such significance?
Anyone reading the trial of Con-
ley, Just had, can have no misgivings
on this subject. The Solicitors So
licitude about Conley was touching.
Only stern duty impelled him to
ask for conviction. Personally, he de-
sired him to go free. in order that all
the opprobrium might be placed on
my husband, and so far as he was
able by his speech IN this case, he
endeavored To create this situation
All the testimony in connection with
Conley's case, except Gheesing, 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
ETY. at this time. read a prepared
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 tale. What
might he have said on the stand?
How consistent would it 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 inkling of
the real truth might have shown
through by inconsistent and contra
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 i am assured that in
the mind of the public the testimony
given by DR.. 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-

A report from New York Friday in
dioated that she would stand by her
absolute retraction of the charges
and the prosecution and the Atlanta
police department are preparing to
combat her new attitude by showing
that the affidavit was made in good
faith and not under influence.
Chief Lanford, for his part, re-
newed his declaration that Mrs.
Formby is not in New York, and that
the alleged retraction was instieated
by Harry Latham. who was supposed
to have gone to New Orleans. He in

The Hair Evidence.
This same DIR. Harris. expert
microscopic. declared to the Solicit
tor in advance that the hair taken
from the lathe on this floor, was not
that of the dead girl And yet. dur
ing the trial Of the case, with this
expert, the Solicitor was content to
take the testimony of one witness
who said that the hair was like
the girls and argued to the jury that
this was absolutely the hair and con-
cealed DR.. Harris statement to him.
Was this fair? Does this conduct
appeal 10 the public as one that
should merit appreciation? In the
trial Of Conley the only witness called
was the undertaken, and his sole tes-,
timony was in reference to the char
acter of the hair found, and the ex-
PLANTATION given that the use Of tar

why, then, on trial where every

Il am sure that time will clearly

nightmare, for such it seems to me,

spiracy will ultimately lay itself bare

Reversal of Fence Case

In building 40 miles Of fence on It's
own lands in Nevada, the Golconda
Cattle Company. Of which Represen-
tative William Kent Of California Is
president, acted in good faith and
committed no offense. the United
States Court of Appeals held.
The case attracted much political
attention when it was first decided
against the company by Judge Far
rington of the Federal District Court,
who acquitted the company Of i'm
proper intent but nevertheless held
in his order that it had technically
violated the fencing law. The order
is now reversed.
The court points out that the com.
pany left nine openings in its fences
situated at points not infrequently
used by cattle and other animals in
their passage to and from Govern.
ment grazing lands.

With rows Of crisp and faky loaves
That they have baked themselves,
Till they the sponge can deftly pat

Press dispatches of last week tell
of the loss of a valuable mining claim
by a Phoebe mining company, where
the opposition attorney was sustained
in the contention that the company
had no standing in the Nevada courts
on account of its failure to comply
with the laws of the State requiring
the fling of its incorporation papers
and publishing an annual statement.
Many mining company officials fail
to recognize the importance Of this
simple proceeding until too late.
