The hearing was originally scheduled for June 30 on the Supreme Court schedule, but was postponed after Justice L.S. Roan promised to take Mrs. Roan to the beach the first week of July.

The defense had said Connolly murdered the girl on the first floor and dumped her in a puddle. On May 10, a man named McWorth and Whitefield ran the factory. They found a corner of a pay envelope with Mary Phagan's name and a two-digit number written on it, and that the Pinkerton field manager, Harry Scott, had been out during the investigation into Mary Phagan's murder. I found a dirty club to impress. When Scott returned, he was told that a pay envelope had been found, but nothing more. Chief Rumford dismissed the envelope as a plant, while Commissioner H.B.

Mincey claimed that when he was at the corner of Electric Avenue and Carter Street near Conley's house in the late afternoon, Conley approached a black man and asked him to take out insurance. Conley replied that he had killed a white girl, and Mincey left the belligerent black man.
