Hi,

    Just some clarification, as a result of some offlist email with Donna.

  In 1982 (during the Alonzo Mann affair), the AP did cite a 1962 death date 
for one Jim Conley, he of the Leo Frank case fame.

  This is a separate issue in itself, as no one knows where or when Jim 
Conley died. The AP was simply repeating a death date given for him by Harry Golden 
in his book, A Little Girl is Dead. Unfortunately, this first citation was, 
um, fictional. It has never been verified in the least, and it would be a 
feather in anyone's cap to get such actual data - many have tried. The last 
newspaper references (non-flattering) to Jim Conley (while alive) were in the 1940s.

  Anyway, the man I am looking for was Clarence Conley, who lived in Atlanta 
for most of his life, born by 1899, and appeared in the last Atlanta City 
Directory, for 1960, living on Maple Street NW. It would be great to get a death 
notice for him, if the Atlanta newspapers ever get digitized for the period of 
the 1960s.

Thanks again.

Allen
