PDF PAGE 5, COLUMN 4 WILL ASK EARLY TRIAL FOR FACTORY SWEEPER Despite the attitude of Judge Hill and the Solicitor General, William Smith, attorney for Jim Conley, will make strenuous effort next week to have the negro factory sweeper, whose story convicted Leo M. Frank, of the Phagan murder, brought to early trial. The case was advanced again on Thursday by Judge Hill and while Mr. Smith was in court he made no objection to the procedure and it was taken for granted that he acquiesced in the matter of postponement. On Friday, Mr. Smith made the statement that he would formally demand the early trial of his negro client when the criminal court again takes up sessions next week. Just how he will proceed with his demand is not as yet made known, but he intimates that he will file a written demand for trial and argue the matter before the court if allowed to do so. It was learned Friday that Judge Hill will not allow the case to come up for trial before the Frank re-trial motion is disposed of in supreme court.
