Thursday, 20th November 1913: Conley Trial Put Off At Request Of Dorsey, The Atlanta Journal

Will Not Be

Held During Pres-

ent Week-Smith to

File

Demand

It was announced Thursday morning by

Solicitor Dorsey that the case of Jim Conley, indicted as accessory after the

fact for the murder of Mary Phagan, would not be called during the present

week. The case was expected to come up Thursday. No reason was given by the

solicitor for not calling the case, further than that there was a crush of

cases for trial.

Conleys

attorney, W. M. Smith, on Friday will file a written demand for a trial on the

minutes of the court. This will insure Conley being tried during this or the

following term of court.
