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.
