ordinary motion for new trial.
Conley's denial, made in the pres
ence of Solicitor Dorsey, was the first
intimation that Conley had not been
the author of these letters, by which
Franks lawyers sought to show that
Conley had written the famous 'mur-
der notes" found beside Mary Pha-
gan's body without assistance from
anyone Conley had testified at
Franks trial that the notes were
written by him at Franks direction.
Franks attorneys claimed that the
expressions and general form of die

tical to those of the murder notes
and that Conley had written both

Conley stated Wednesday that

I'VE believe in the enforcement of
the law in this case" they declared.

There is no ground in this case
on which to ask a commutation of
sentence"

Judge Roam, in his letter, said
he had doubts of Franks guilt" said
Mr.. Patterson. He thought a man
ought not to be hanged unless the

were satisfied OF the mans guilt, and
Judge Roam was not satisfied
Judge Roam in his letter did not
express anything not stated before" "
replied Mr.. Morris.

Patterson "He expressed a doubt as
to his own action in refusing Frank

was as to the correctness of the

officials were in the delegations.

Viola Dana In Broadway Feature.

VAOA~ lana III DlOouWdy CdtuIcs
"The Daughters of Isabella" are
today in charge of the Bonita theatre
and the proceeds are to be used for
charitable purposes. The program is
an unusually attractive one in every
respect. Not only are the pictures
exceptionally good but the program
will be augmented by instrumental
and vocal selections rendered by local
talent. The headliner on the picture
program is the three-act feature
comedy drama, ''The Slavey Student"
with the little Broadway child star,
Viola Dana, in the lead. The play
was written to fit her charming per-
sonality by the noted playwright, Lee
Arthur. ''The Slavey Student" en-
tertains and pleases, yet there is
plenty of plot, heart interest and
tense action. '"The Slavey Student"
is none other than the little girl
artist, Viola Dana, and in this play,
vibrant with the sweet wholesome
life and love of school days, her per-
sonality and ability never were better
placed. It is play that fingers like
pleasant memory. A 'Ham" COM
edy, 'The Flashlight F'livver," and a
Vitagraph comedy, ''Mr. Jarr and
Circumstantial Evidence" are also
on the bill,
The four-reel Universal feature,
''The Suburban" with King Baggot
in the lead, should not be overlooked.
1t is one of the best ever shown. Be
sides this strong drama there will
be two-reel L. K, o. comedy, "Scan-
dial nj the Family" tomorrow.

CITY LIVE STOCK Be
MOVED At ONCE To
ANOTHER LOCATION
BUILDING OF CITY STABLES
WILL NOW NECEssITATE THE
BOARDING. OF ABOUT TWEEN
TY HEAD OF STOCK.

Quite a proposition faced the street
commissioners department yesterday
when he began to figure on the care
of about twenty head of live stock
which have to be moved from the
present stable site to another loca-
ton, to permit the construction Of the
new city stables, contract for which
will be enered into probably today.
The city stables are stationed ON
the west side of Spring street between
Garden and Romano streets, and it is
upon said site the improved stabling
facilities will be erected. 1t will mean
however, the removal of more than
twenty head of live stock, making up
that owned by the street department
and this was being worked out by
the commissioners yesterday.
Several offers to care for the stock
were received. yesterday, about the
most reasonable and the very lowest
being from one livery stableman, who
wanted fifty cents per day for feeding
the animals. This will amount tt
more than $500 per month, and as
Commissioner Johnson stated yester-
day, there was no disposition to accept
the figure until proper advertisement
had been inserted.
It is probable that the city vii,
take care of the stock until arrange
ments can be made, when the stock
will be assembled. 1t is possible that
it will be three months before the
new stables are ready for occupancy
