Jim COnley's Testimony.

'"Tne most startling and spectacular
testimony in the case was that given
by negro, Jim Conley, who frequent
ly had been in the chain gang" the
statement says. He then referred to
the murder notes" found beside the
body, which Conley finally admitted he
had written at Franks dictation,
"Conley claimed Frank asked him to
come to the factory on Saturday and
watch for him as he had done, which
he explained meant that Frank ex-
pected to meet some woman" the gov
ernor says. "Conley occupied dark
place beside the elevator behind some
boxes.
"Conley mentioned several male and
female employees who went up the
steps to tie second floor where
Franks Office was. He said Mary Pha-
gan went up the stairs; that in few
minutes he heard footsteps going to-
ward the metal room; that ne heard
scream and then dozed. In a few min
utes Frank stamped and Conley lock-
ed the door, and then Frank whistled
and Conley, unlocked the door and
went, upstairs. He said Frank was
shivering and trembling and told him
t1at he had made advances to the
girl and she repulsed him, and he
struck ner too hard and she fell and
hit her head against something and he
did not know how badly she was hurt.

Disposition of Body.

according to Conley's story, Frank
told him to get piece Of cloth and
wrap the body in it, and Conley got
piece of bed ticking and tied up the
body, carried it to near the dressing
room, dropped it, then called on Frank
to assist him. He said t2at lie and
Frank took the body to the basement
in the elevator; that they rolled the
body out of the cloth, then went to
Franks Office; that Emma Clark and
Corintha Hall came into the office and
Frank put. him in the wardrobe and
after they left that Frank dictated the
murder notes."
The statement then points out alleg-
ed inconsistencies in Conley's story
and mentions several contradictions
in his story as related in various af-
fdavits. Among them, he said, were
evidence that the elevator had not
been used Saturday afternoon; that
Frank could not have carried the girl
down the hatchway while Conley, a
powerful negro, could have done so;
tnat no bed ticking ever had been seen
| in the factory; that it agreed the mur-

Performance of Duty.

SIN any event the performance Of
my duty under the constitution is a
matter of my conscience The re-
sponsibi1ity rests where the power is
reposed. Judge Roam, with that awful
sense of responsibility which probably
came over him as he thought of that
Judge before whom he would shortly
appear, calls to me from another
world to request that l do that which
he sI.ould have done I can endure
misconstruction, abuse and condemna-
ton, but I cannot stand the constant
companionship of an accusing con-
science which would remind me in
every thought that I, as governor Of
Georgia, failed to do what 1 thought 70
be right. There is territory beyond
reasonable doubt and absolute GER
tainty, for which tie law provides in
allowing life Imprisonment instead Of
execution. This case has been marked
by doubt. The trial Judge doubted.
Two judges Of the State supreme court
doubted. Two judges Of the United
States supreme court doubted. One
of the three prison commissioners
doubted.
'In nv Judgment. by granting a
communication in this case I am sus-
tanning the jury, the Judge and the ap-
pellate tribunals, and at the same time
am discharging frat duty which is
placed on me by the State constitu-
ton.

order committing Franks sentence
from death to Imprisonment for life

LEO FRANK BEGINS
ON LIFE SENTENCE
IN SUIT DENOTTNG LOWEST GRADE
PRISONER HE APPEARS CALM
Demonstration Held in Atlanta-GOT-
ernor Hanged in Effigy at
Marietta

Atlanta, Ga, June 21.-Leo M. Frank
today, began serving life sentence at
the Georgia prison farm for the muir
der of Mary Phagan, the 14-year-old
employee of the pencil factory of
which Frank was superintendent. His
hurried secret trip by train and auto
mobile from the Atlanta Jail to Mil
Iedgeville preceded by a few hours the
issuance of a long statement by Gov
ernor Slaton giving mis- reasons for
committing the death sentence to life
imprisonment.
Frank was delivered at the State
prison farm at 4:30 o'clock this morn
ing and soon after extra editions of
newspapers announced the fact here.
Within a short time crowds began to
gather on downtown street corners
and within three hours their demon
strations had resulted in calling out
two-thirds of the police force and later
an order closing all near-beer saloons
and clubs where liquor might be OBJ
tained. At about noon a crowd, con-
servatively estimated at $500, gather
ed on the capital grounds and listen
ed to several speakers. Most of this
crowd later assembled in the hall OF
the house of representatives, where
several speakers said they doubted

Similar Expressions.

The governor pointed out similarities
in forms of expression and words used
by Conley in mis- testimony, in the
murder notes" and in the annie
Maud Carter letters" parts of which
Conley admitted he wrote. He inferred
that the evidence indicated the notes
were the product of Conley's mental
as we'll as Physical effort. Testimony
of other witnesses than Conley, con-
corning the time of Mary Phagan's
visit to the factory and regarding the
order blank pad, on which one Of the
murder notes" was written, having
been discarded to the basement, was
discussed at length in the statement
In conclusion the governor said:
''In the Frank case three matters
f:ave developed since the trial, which
did not come before the jury, to wit:
The Carter letter., the testimony Of
Becler, indicating that the death notes
were written in the basement, and the
testimony of DR.. Harris, that, he was
under the impression that the hair on
the lathe in the metal room was not
that of Mary Phagan, and thus tend
ing to show that the crime was not
committed on the floor or which was

while made the subjects of an eX-
traordinary motion for new trial, it
is we'll known that it is almost a
practical impossibility to have a YER

that the children should be permitted
to play as they see fit, following their
own choice in snch matters, without
any attempt being made to tell them
what they shall do TO provide their

is the popularity of the playgroul ds
