or not. 1 have it written down.”
Rosser: "I have no doubt you have
it written down from Genesis to Rev

The objection to the question was
sustained.

"He saw me take it,” said Dorsey. •
“He saw r you write it,” retorted
Rosser, "before my friend Dorsey
conferred with Hooper. Hooper is a
wise man. He charged three times
that he had been trapped by the wit
ness.”
Judge Roan ruled: "At this stage of
the game I can’t allow you to ask the
witness leading questions. He may

if it is on anything that is written. -

Judge Roan ruled*. "I don’t think
you can lead the witness at this
stage of the game.”
Said Gantt and Girl Were Friendly.
Mr. Hooper interrupted: "As I un-<
derstand it, ^fr. Dorsey has the rignt
to ask this witness what he w’ishes,
provided he asks him about the spe

"Not Sticking to Testimony/*
Dorsey: "I hold. Your Honor, that

right to refer to these reports to re
fresh his memory.”
Judge Roan: "Put your question,
Mr. Dorsey."
Q. Was it before or after 12 o’clock

discretionary with you a? to whether
I may leid a witness. If there ever
was a time when a witness should b
led it is now with this detective who
was hired by the pencil factory and
who has been working with the at
torneys fur the defense. When I
talked with him and he told me things
and now he testifies differently I have
a right to lead him.”
Charges Scott "Trapped” Him.
"If you mean to say the witness has
trapped you, I will permit it," said
Judge Roan.
"I do,” answered Dorsey.
Attorney Rosser objected, and the
court recessed until authorities couH
be looked up.
“He is trying to impeach a wit
ness.” said Ro.‘*ser.
"If it is meant that I am holding
back anything I Aant to disabuse his
mind of that,” interrupted Scott. "I—”
"I am not trying to impe&ch a wit
ness," declared Dorsey. “Here is a
detective employed oy this defendant
^and he simply has had a lapse of
Hjnory ’’
sey wanted to submit a memo-
honor."
Rosser (angrily): "Then I withdraw
my objection.”
Scott answered the question:
Sometime in May I, with Superin
tendent Pierce, of the Pinkerton
agency, went to the office of H. J.
Haas, in the Third National Bank
Building, and told him there was a
strong suspicion against Frank. He
said he wanted us to give him per
sonally our reports in full before we
submitted it to the police. We told
him we would withdraw' from the
case before we w'ould do that.”

you on your walk through the fac

a spit?—-A. It was a smear.
When Frank Met Her.
Q. Are you willing to tell the jury
whether Frank was nervous or com
posed?
He answered that question.” inter
rupted Rof^er.
"Did you?” asked Judge Roan of
Scott.
A. I said his eyes were piercing and
he looked pale.
Judge Roan asked the witness if
Frank was composed.
A. He w r as composed.
Dorsey resumed his questioning.
Q What happened at the police
station Tuesday night?—A. Detective
Black and I had a discussion in
Frank’s presence about Newt Lee.
We had been talking to Lee. Mr.
Black told Mr. Frank he didn’t think
Newt Lee was telling all he knew. I
said about the same thing. We asked
him if he would consent to go into a
room with Lee and try to get the
truth out of him. He agreed to and
we left them alone together about ten
minutes. When we interrupted. Lee
did not seem to have finished his con
versation. ‘Mr. Frank,’ said Lee, *lt’»
awful hard for me to be handcuffed te
this chair.’ ‘Well, they got me. too.’
said Frank. Frank told me later they
did not get anything out of the negro.

Dorsey: "I object to anything that

Judge Roan: "Isn’t it competent ev

there w f as not any effort at suppres
sion ?”
Dorsey replied: "Your honor, the
State can show flight on the part of

oversight.
Q. Well, w’hy didn’t you tell the
Coroner about what Frank said about
Gantt and Mary Phagan? Gantt was

must have been an oversight, if I
didn’t do it.

"That’s all. Call Miss Monteen Sto

Judge here ruled that he Stover
girl could look at the affidavit to re
fresh her memory.
Solicitor Dorsey handed it to the
witness and she slowly read it.
Gantt Recalled.
J. M. Gantt was recalled a moment
at the beginning of the morning ses
sion Thursday to tell of the time he
was arrested and the time he was
released. Scott then was called as a
witness and it was expected that he
would be on the stand most of the
day.
The courtroom was crowded as on
every other day of the trial. .There
was a noticeable increase in the num
ber of women present. The seats all
were taken half an hour before the
time set for the beginning of the trial.
He
been
Although the State’s witnesses
were on the stand all of Wednesday
the day was distinctly favorable for
Frank, partly because nothing dis
tinctly unfavorable was developed
against him—the burden of proof
being upon the State—but most
largely because of two other factors,
the utter collapse of the testimony of
one of the State’s star witnesses, City
Detective John Black, and the testi
mony in favor of Frank that was
given by another of the State’s wit
nesses. Miss Grace Hix, a 16-year-
old factory employee.
Girl Helps Frank.
Miss Hix testified that the strands
of hair found on the lathing machine
on the second floor might have been
the hair of one of the other girls in
the factory, m^ny of whom when they
were ready to leave the factory at
night, combed their hair right where
they had been working. She said that
Magnolia Kennedy’s hair was almost
exactly the color of Mary Phagan’s.
She also said that the red spots on
the second floor might be paint. She
never saw Frank attempt any famil
iarities with the girls.
Black was made the uncomfortable
victim of the fiercest grilling any cf
the witnesses in the Frank trial have
received up to this time.
Luther Rosser, chief of counsel for
Frank, tore into Black the instant the
city detective was turned over to him
for cross-examination.
Black Bewildered.
W r ithin the space of 30 seconds the
attorney had Black unmistakably be
wildered, althougn the detective tried
his best to stick to the details of the
story he had Just narrated under So
licitor Dorsey's questioning.
In another 30 seconds Rosser con
tinued his bulldog tactics and had
Black practically admitting that he
had told an untruth under oath, and
that although a moment before he
had sworn that he had seen Rosser at
the police station between 8 and 8:30
o’clock the Monday morning after the
crime, he now was not sure that it
was not 10 or 10:30.
Rosser, seeking to discredit Black’s
previous testimony and his memory,
drove Black to admit that he could
not remember any of the details of
Frank’s attire the morning that Black
visited the Frank home, and that he
was not sure at all that Frank could
not have seen the face of the Phagan
girl when he visited the morgue Sun
day morning.
Shaky Testimony.
Black swore when Dorsey wa%ques-
tioning him that Frank put on his
collar, tie and coat on the first floor
of his home, but when Rosser got
hold of him he was just as willing to
admit that it might have been in the
cellar or on the roof, and the remain
der of his testimony became shaky
to the same extent.
Taking up a number of the details
of Black’s testimony on direct exam
ination. Rosser made the perspiring
detective admit that he was not cer
tain of a single one of them. None
too fluent and assured under the
friendly interrogation of the Solici-
I tor General, Black instantly became
halting and confused when Rosser let
loose with his fire of disconcerting
questions.
The detective’s features flushed
crimson. He mopped his face which
was running with perspiration. Then
he held his handkerchief up by two
of it8 corners to dry in the breez#
from an electric fan. Before he could
accomplish this, it must be applied
again to his liquid features.
He tripped and stumbled over hi#
answers. He became hopelessly mud-*
died as to times and conversations. He
was groping, but his memory turned
traitor.
The "Plant” Story.
The climax came when Solicitor
Dorsey came out with his declaration
that the bloody shirt found at Newt
Lee’s home was a "plant,” and that it i
was inspired by Frank or persons in*
terested in Frank. He said that he
intended to show that Black had gone
to Lee’s home to make a search only
after Frank had informed him that
several punches were missing from
the time tape taken out of the regis*
ter clock, and that Lee would have
had time to go home between punches.
The Solicitor added that he proposed
to show that the only interpretation
of Herbert Haas’ demand for a search
of Frank s house was in order to open
up the way for a search of Lee’s house
by the detectives.
It took only a few moments to
demonstrate that the Solicitor was
leaning on a broken reed. Black
already had passed through the ordeal
of more than an hour’s grilling by
Rosser and Dorsey had him in the
redirect. Black gave only a half*
hearted and half-certain assent to
Dorsey’s inquiry if these circum
stances did not transpire before the
search of Lee’s house.
But when Rosser charged at him
again even this fragment of memory
and assurance had departed from
him.
"Don’t you know’, Black, that, as
a matter of fact, that shirt was found
before Frank ever said anything to
you about the misses in that time
tape?” Rosser bellowed at the red-
faced, wilting detective.
Waited Six Minutes.
Black opened his mouth, but nd
answer came forth.
"Don’t you know it?" persisted ths
law'yer.
Still no answer.
Rosser drew his w r atch from hiss
pocket and held it on the witness. Six
minutes passed and the silence con
tinued. * Judge Roan started to speak.
"Give him time to answer, your
honor,” interrupted Rosser grimly,
still holding the watch.
“I don’t remember," finally cams
from the lips of the witness.
A moment later Black gave up.
"I’m all crossed up.” he said. "15
don’t know where I’m at.”
Rosser laughed.
“Come down,” he said.
"Come dow'n,” echoed the Solicitor.
J. M. Gantt, discharged employee of
the pencil factory, followed Black on
the stand. Gantt’s most Important
piece of testimony was that Frank,
contrary to tho representations he
made the morning after the murder,
knew' Mary Phagan by name. -
He knew this, he said, because one
day w'hen he had been talking with
the Phagan girl FYank said to dilm:
“You seem to know Mary pretty well,
Gantt.”
