The Leo Frank Case: Conley Enters Case - Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery
This is the tenth Chapter in the 22-part series of 'Leo Frank Case: Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery'. In the grand jury's consideration of Frank's indictment, a new figure, James Conley, entered the case. Conley was arrested during the coroner's inquest and had been seen washing a shirt. The police believed him to be washing Mary Phagan's blood, but Conley denied any involvement. Detective Harry Scott asked Conley to write sentences for him, but he refused, claiming he could not write.
The detectives initially ignored Conley's statements, believing he had nothing to do with the crime. However, upon discovering a contract to pay installments on a watch signed by Conley, they began giving him the third degree of deception. Conley admitted to lying about not knowing how to write but swore that he knew nothing about the crime.
On May 23, Conley sent Detective John Black to tell the whole truth, claiming he wrote notes to his mother in Brooklyn and promised her a job. Black and Scott then rushed to the solicitor's office to present the case to the grand jury. Dorsey, confident that there was enough evidence without the negro to secure Frank's indictment, refused to put Conley on the witness stand.
However, an extra Journal announced the startling news that the grand jury could get an indictment of Frank without the negro's story. Dorsey held a conference with the negro and the detectives, and a stenographic report of the conversation was made. Conley stuck to his story, but the detectives pointed out that it showed premeditation on the part of Frank. Conley swore repeatedly that he would never change his story, and the detective eventually believed he was right.
Hear more about James Conley sworn statement under oath and how he was coerced and bribed into making false notes that would implicate Newt Lee in the murder.
