Friday, 21st November 1913: Jim Conleys Case Is Once More Delayed, The Atlanta Constitution

Jim

Conleys case did not come up before Judge Ben Hill in the criminal division of

the superior court Thursday.

On

request of Solicitor General Dorsey, who bowed to the wishes of the judge, the

case was left on the docket to be tried at some future date, as yet unnamed.

William

Smith, attorney for the negro, was in court during the morning session, but

refused to discuss his clients case in any manner save to remark that he

would press the matter to early trial, if possible.

It

is not now believed the factory sweeper, whose testimony was largely

responsible for the conviction of Leo Frank, on a charge of having murdered

Mary Phagan, will be brought into court until after the Frank case has been

disposed of before the supreme court of the state.
