Here ia a facsimile of one of the notes found beside the body of Mary Phagan and intro
duced in the trial of Leo M. Frank. The defense met with little success in its effort to make Newt
Lee admit that he had a part in the writing of this note. Sergeant Dobbs, however, testified
that when the officers deciphering the note came to the word-“night,” Lee said: “That means
me.” “Night witch” has been interpreted to mean “night watchman.” The real battle over
the notes will come when Jim Conley, who admits writing them, is put on the stand.
"I agree with you,” ruled Judge
Roan.
Q. When did you first see Newt I>ee,
the day the crime was reported?—A.
About 5 or 5:30 o’clock In the morn
ing.

recall.
Q. Describe what happened when
you went to Frank’s house.—A. I went
to the door and rang the bell. Mrs
Frank came to the door and asked
what we wanted. I told her I was
detective from the police station and
wanted to see Mr. Frank. Almost at
once he stepped from behind some
curtains. He asked almost immedi
ately if anything had happened at thr
factory.
Knew Frank Previoualy.
Q. Did you know Frank before you
w r ent to the factory?—A. Yes. I saw
him about two years ago and again
about eighteen months ago.
Q. Then you knew him?—A. Yes.
Q. Did you know' him or recognize
him. when you saw him that Sunday
morning?—A. No.
Q. Was Frank nervous or excited
when you saw him two years ago?—
A. No.
Here Attorney Rosser objected to
the testimony being given along this
line. Attorney Arnold also arose to
his feet and said:
“No police officer can give an opin
ion as to how a man looks!”
Judge Roan said:
“Now, Mr. Black, state the facts
and rive your reasons.”
Saya Frank Waa Nervous.
Q. When you saw Frank the morn
ing of April 27, did he seem nerv
ous?—A. Yes.

asked him if he knew a girl named
Mary Fffiagan, who had been found
j uead there. He said no, but he could
1 tell from the records.

I taker's?—A. We went in and the man
| pulled the cover back. Frank looked
at her for a second.

hanging there and he stepped be
hind it.

stepped behind the curtain?—A. I
don’t know.

any view at all.

where the body was?—A. He passed
by it when we first entered the es
tablishment.
Q. With that exception, did he ever
go Into the room?—A. Not to my
knowledge.
Q. How long after he went behind
the curtain did you see him?—A. In
a few minutes we went out to the
automobile.
Q. Was he going toward the body
or away from it?—A. Away from ft.
Q. State whether or not Frank said
anything
Not Sure of Girl’s Identity.
Here Attorney Rosser objected:
“Your honor, my friend evidently
learned under a pastmaster the art of
asking leading questions,” said Ros
ser.
“I want a ruling on this question,”
returned Dorsey. “It is not leadirg.”
Judge Roan overruled the objec
tion.
“Well, your honor sustains me and
overrules Mr. Rosser,’’ said Dorsey.
“The witness will answer the ques
tion.”
A. Frank said he was not sure he
could identify her. but thought from
her clothes she was the girl he had
paid off Saturday. He said he could
tell by looking at his pay roll.
At 12:30 o’clock court adjourned
until 2 o’clock.
Wif# Cheers Frank.
For several minutes before Judge
Roan called the court to order for
the afternoon session Mrs. Frank sat
with her arm around her husband’s
shoulder, laughing and carrying on a
happy conversation. Frank waa visi
bly cheered by her.
Detective Black, who was on the
stand at the noon adjournment, was
recalled to the stand. Solicitor Dor
sey delayed the questioning several
minutes, waiting for Attorney Arnold
to arrive. Then he proceeded.

Q. What skips did Frank say New't
Lee had made?—A. I think it waa
from 10 until 11:30—I can t recall ex-
j actly.
Q. Was It earlier or later?—A. To
i the best of my knowledge it was 9
i o’clock.
Attorneys Clash Again.
Q. How long after he was arrested
did he employ counsel'.'
Attorney Arnold here objected.
"This witness does not know who
employed counsel or whether they
considerable trouble putting on a col- I ever employed counsel, and besides
he would have been in a mighty bad
fix if he hadn’t,” declared Attorney
lar. It seemed that he couldn’t tie his
necktie, and he kept a 1 king fast
questions. He asked real quick: “Has
anything happened at the pencil fac- j
tory?” And before I could answer. \
he asked: “Did the night watchman
report it?”
Q. Did he express any arxiety to go
to the pencil factory?
Rosser objected with: “That is
merely a conclusion, your honor.”
Frank Without Breakfast.
“Let him state exactly w'hat hap
pened, and'the Jury can draw' their
conclusions," said Judge Roan.
Q. Did he ask for anything before
and
Mr.
Arnold. "It is also Immaterial
irrelevant. What do you say,
Dorsey?”
Dorsey replied:
“I want to show that this man em
ployed counsel before he was arrest
ed or even a supect, and I want to
show it as one of the circumstances
that led to this prosecution.”
Judge Overrules Objection.
Judge Roan overruled the objection,
saying that in his opinion the So
licitor's reason was material.
Q. State when Frank first had
counsel.—A. About 8:30 o’clock Mon
day morning Mr. Rosser came into
police headquarter*.
Q. What happened at Frank’s house
before he went to police headquar-
leaving home?—A. He kept saying he ters?—A. Mr. Hazlett went to Frank's

about breakfast?—A. Yes, he told

"Your honor,” said Dorsey, “I move
that that be ruled out as a gratuitous
opinion. The jury is just as capable
of Judging whether he acted as any
man would have acted or not.”
Attorney Rosser objected.
Judge Roan first said he would not
strike the statement, but finally on
the statement of Dorsey That he would
withdraw' the question, he said he
would rule out the answer.
“I will put the question in a differ
ent way,” said Dorsey. ”1 will knock
it down and set it up again.”

“Your honor,” Rosser said, “I want
to call your attention to your ruling
about impeaching a witness. If 1
decide to impeach Mr. Black, I will
call him back.”
Rosser than took up the question
ing again.
“Did you go out to Frank’s home
and examine the clothing in the laun
dry?” asked Rosser.
Dorsey Overruled.
Solicitor Dorsey objected to this
question.
“Your honor,” said Dorsey, “that
question has never been put by the
State, even remotely hinted at, and
they have no right to ask it.
Rosser replied:
“I have got a right, your honor, to
bring out from this witness that
nothing incriminating was found.”
Judge Roan overruled Dorsey’s ob
jection.
Ko&ser again put the qestion, but
Dorsey Interrupted.
“Do you mean to rule that Mr. Ros
ser can ask this witness a self-serv
ing question ?” he asked. "Why, that
question has never been put by the
State. I challenge the record.”
Judge Roan called the stenographer
who took the notes during the morn
ing. The court rested while bailiffs
went to the floor above to get him.
The stenographer’s report was
brought into court and an excerpt
from Black’s testimony at the morn
ing session read, which said: “We
walked out to Frank’s residence Mon
day after Frank was released.’’
“There is no evidence that the
house was searched.” said Dorsey.
“Mr Rower now wants to get in some
evidence regarding the searching of
his clothes. If you can show that
there was a searching of Frank’s per
son at the time Mr. Hass asked that
FTank’s home be examined, go ahead.”
‘That is Just what I am going to
show.” said Mr. Ros^r.
Examined Frank’s Laundry.
Q. Mr. Black, didn’t you tell Mr.
Dorsey a while ago that Mr. Hass de
manded that you go out and search
Mr. Frank’s house?—A. Yes.
Q. In accordance with that demand,
you did go?—A. Yes.
Q. Did you examine Mr. Frank’s
laundry?—A. Yes.
Q. Mr. Frank did not have an op
portunity to telephone home before
you got there?—A. Y'es.
Q. Mr. Black, you examined Newt
Lee’s house?—A. Yes*.
Q What did you find?—A. A
bloody shirt.
Q. Where is that shirt?—A. I gave
it to Mr. Dorsey.
On the request of Mr. Rosser. Mr.
Dorsey produced the shirt referred to,
and Black identified it.
Q. Did Newt Lee say the shirt was
his?—A. Yes.
Here Solicitor Dorsey took the wit-
new.
Q. What did Frank say about Lee
not having told all he knew?
“I object,” said Mr. Rosser. The
objection was sustained.
Rosser is Overruled.
Q. State whether at the time Haas
asked that Frank’s house be searched
Lee was a suspect?—A. Yes, he was.
“I object,” said Mr. Rosser.
“I want to show that Frank was do
ing all he could to point the finger of
suspicion at Lee,” said Dorsey. “I
want to show that Frank had de
manded. after his premises had been
searched and nothing found, that
Lee’s home be searched, and this
bloody shirt found. Our contention
is that this shirt was a plant. We
will show’ a further effort on the part
of Frank to incriminate Lee by chang
ing the time slip.”
The objection was overruled.
Mrs. Frank showed feeling at this
speech, but Frank’s expression re
mained unchanged.
Q. Did Frank say anything about
Lee not having told everything he
knew?—A. Yes; he said he didn’t be
lieve Lee had told everything he
knew.

the bloody shirt) and tell me whether
it Is bloody oh one side or both sides.
—A. Both.
Q. Did you have any trouble get
ting into Newt Lee’s house?—A. No.
Q. How many times had you seen
Mr. Frank before that Monday?
Attorney Rosser objected.
“He asked all of i.hat this morning,”
Rosser said
“eLt him ask the question,” re
turned Judge Roan.
Q. How many times have you had
conversation with Leo Frank?
Here Judge Roan interrupted. “All
of that has been brought out,” he
said.
Then Rosser took the witness on
recross-examination.
Q. Didn't you say time and time
again that you couldn’t tell whether
you went to Lee’s house before or aft
er your talk with Frank about those
time slips?—A. I can’t say.
Q. Then, isn’t it true that you don't
remember?
Black sought to explain, but Rosser
drowned out his voice.
“I don’t want your explanation, I
want your memory,” said Rosser.
Black Says He Is Confused.
Q. Didn’t you swear that you didn’t
remember whether or not you had the
conversation with Mr. Frank about
the notes on Monday?
Black tried to explain again, but
