PDF PAGE 9, COLUMN 5 CONLEY IS ANXIOUS TO FACE ACCUSERS Ivy Jones and Mary Rich Are Lying, He Tells His Counsel. “If those Negroes who accuse me will face me, I will show them that they lie. They can’t face me; they haven’t the courage.” These were the words of Jim Conley, the convicted Negro accomplice in the Mary Phagan murder, to his attorney William M. Smith, when Smith apprised the negro of the affidavits of Ivy Jones and of Mary Rich, whose startling affidavits are contained in the re-trial motion of Frank’s defense. “I am ready to face them any day,” Conley told his Attorney. “They are lying, and they know it, and they don’t dare confront me with their stories.” Conley’s new trial motion will be presented to Judge Ben Hill at an early date, as was stated in the office of his counsel.
