Reading Time: 3 minutes [359 words]

LEO M. FRANK, 216

T don’t think that Newt killed the girl, but I believe he dis-
covered the body some time before he notified the police,
Newt’s a good nigger.

Scott said that it took Conley six minutes to write a part
of one note. Conley said that he wrote the notes three times.

‘They say that nigger couldn’t lie, Gentlemen, if there is
any one thing that nigger can do, it is to lie, As my good old
friend, Charlie Hill, would say, ‘Put him in a hopper and
he'll drip tye!””

He was trying to prove an elibi for himself when he said
that he was not in the factory on Saturday and told all the
things that he did elsewhere on that day. But we know that
the wretch was lurking in the factory all of Saturday morn-
ing. Further, he swore that while he was in Frank’s office he
heard someone approaching, and Mr, Frank eried ont, ‘‘Gee!
Here come Corinthia Hall and Emma Clarke!’’ and that
Frank shut him up in a wardrobe until they left. According
to Conley, they came into the factory between 12 and 1
o’clock, when as 2 matter of fact, we know that they came be-
tween 11 and 12. And as for his being able to fabricate the
details of his statement—-why, he new every inch of that
building from top to bottom! Hadn’t he been sweeping and
cleaning it for along time? With this knowledge of the build-
ing, he naturally had no trouble in his pantomime after he
had formed his story. The miserable wretch has Frank hid-
ing him in the wardrobe when Emma Clarke came in after the
murder, when it has been proved that she came there aud left
before Mary Phagan ever entered the building on that day.

They saw where they were wrong in that statement, and
they made Conley change it on the stand. They made him
say, ‘I thought it was them.” They knew that that story
wouldn’t fit.

Do you remember, how eagerly Conley took the papers from
the girla at the factoryt And do you remember how for four
or five days the papers were full of the fact that Frank's
home was in Brooklyn, and that his relatives were reported
to be wealthy? Conley didn’t have to go far to get material
