jtv Ci)NLEY 0> TRIAL ! I >egrro C!!ar?eil as Accessory to Mui- I tier.?Two New Affidavits. Atlanta. Ga? Feb. 23.?James Con- ! ley, negro, principal witness against j Leo M. Frank at the trial which re- j si'lted in his conviction for the mur- ; 5 der of Mary Phagan, pleaded not j guilty when placed on trial here to- i day charged with being an acces- j sory to the murder. Conley, a sweep-j ^ er at the National Pencil factory, \ wliere Mary Phagan was murdered,! testified at the trial of Frank that ; he had helped dispose of tbe girl's j body after Frank had killed her. His j ^ attorneys will contend that this was j R not an act accessory to the murder, j (A jury quickly was completed and j mf introduction of testimony began with ! r the reading of portions of the record | of the Frank trial. These records, including the testimony of Conley, were admitted without objection from the defense. Taking of evidence was completed earlv this afternoon and court ad journed until tomorrow. Aside from j | the Frank trial records, no evidence j of importance was introduced by the ! ^ State. The defense in which he ad- ! mitted the acts related in his testi- ; mony against Frank. Publication of two affidavits charging conspiracy to produce false evidence against Frank and alleged to ! have been sworn to by witnesses ' against him at his 'trial added a new angle to the mystery surrounding the factory girl's death. One of these, ; accredited to Alfred McKnight, negro, alleges that the story of Frank's movements on the day of the murder, j xold by McKnight as a witness for! the State, was untrue and faad been : prepared by a white man. The other affidavit, alleded to nave , been swo:n to by Mrs. Nina Formoy,; who gave evidence to the police dur- j irg the preparation of the case j against Frank, is said to cnarge illegal manipulation of evidence again/i t'-ie young factory superintendent. Attorneys for Frank refused today * to discuss the two alleged affidavits. SEEKING TO KEti.US PLACE I Sulzfr Lcjral Proceedinss to KecoTer I Oiiice.?t aits For IJ is Ytages. i Albany, N.
