The Atlanta Georgian,

Thursday, 20th November 1913,

PAGE XXX, COLUMN 4.

That a further postponement of the trial of Jim Conley, the negro witness in the Phagan case, will be bitterly fought, was the declaration of W. M. Smith, Conley's attorney, Thursday.

Attorney Smith stated that he would hold a conference with Solicitor Dorsey and Judge Ben Hill, in whose court the trial will be heard, Thursday afternoon when he would protest against a further delay in the hearing of his client's case, and would urge its immediate disposal.

Solicitor Dorsey Thursday stated, however, that the negro's trial had been put off indefinitely.

Conley, who is being held on two charges one a misdemeanor and the other as being accessory after the fact to the Phagan murder, has appeared in Judge Hill's court on several occasions, but without being called to trial.
