Saturday afternoon. Q. You were Interested?—A. Yes, it was my duty to see it. It dealt with the cost of production. Q. What time was it made up—that Is, what day of the week did it show last?—A. Thursday. Financial Sheet Introduced. Q. Who makes it up now?—A. One has not been made out since Mr. Frank left? Q. How long did it usually take him to make it out?—A. Always from about 2:30 or 3 until 5 o’clock. Q. Look at this and tell me if this Is the sheet you found on his desk Sunday morning?—A. Yes. Q. How does it compare with his regular handwriting? Dorsey objected. “I object, your honor,” he said. “The writing is the best evidnce.” Q. I want to ask you are you familiar with Mr. PTank’s writing?— A. Yes. I have been seeing it about five years. Q. Now', I want to ask you one question, but don't answer until we get a ruling. Does this compare fav orably with all of Mr. Frank’s writ ing? Dorsey objected. Ruling on Handwriting Reserved. "The code says, your Honor, that we are entitled to the very best evidence,” the Solicitor said. "This section holds that in any question of handwriting that an expert must testify, and the papers or specimen of handwriting on the day in question and on other days should be introduced. The Jury might not agree with the witness that the sheet in question and other sheets, aie similar. They can be produced, and they should be.” "I will withhold my ruling until I look up some authorities,” replied Judge Roan. "T will ask the witness something else,” said Arnold. Q. What process did FTank have to go into to get at these results?—A. He had to get reports from every de partment, figure averages, costs, sales, profits, expense.’ Figures Required Clear Head. Q. It took a man with a good clear head to figure it?—A. Yes. Q. What calculation was necessary to arrive at the net result?—A.

Sunday, were you in the factory with Frank and Detective Starnes? A. Yes. Q. There were forty or fifty peo ple In the factory Sunday, were there not?—No. not over s>ix or eight. Q. Did you go into the cellar?—A. Yes. Q. What time did you get to the factory?—A. 8:20. Q. There was a great deal of ex citement there? Dorsey objected. "T think your Honor has already ruled on this ques tion,” said he. Calls Nervousness Natural. Arnold interrupted. “Your honor, it is eminently un fair,” he said. "I want to show' that this young man was whisked from his home before he had his coffee* and It was nothing unusual if he was excited. Why, I lived at a board ing house with some old bachelors, and they wouldn’t even talk before breakfast. When Newt Lee first sew this girl in the basement he ran like a turkey. That was one way of showing his excitement. Some men are naturally nervous; some show' nervousness in reading a paper or making a speech; some men go into battle without even flinching.” Judge Roan ruled: “I think you can show' the occasion.” Rosser interrupted. "Let me give you a little illustration, your honor,” he said. "I was on the streets dur ing the time of the Atlanta riots. Crowds were everywhere and every one was excited.” Dorsey then spoke: "Only a few minutes ago, your honor, you ruled out, or we considered that you ruled out. the question of Newt Lee being nervous or composed. The only question before this Jury is: Was Leo M. Frank nervous?” Dorsey Wins Ruling. "You can’t show that anyone else v/as nervous,” said Judge Roan. Rosser: "If you have ruled that way, it will vitiate this trial. This Jury w'ill never know that that crowd was nervous and excited. It will never know' that Starnes, sleuth that he is, trembled and was excited when he saw' that lifeless corpse. That Pat Campbell, son of the Emerald Isle, started back aghast when, he FACTORY GIRL CALLED TO STAND BY STATE Miss Grace Hix, National Pencil plant employee.

And if there Is one mistake at this time it will vitiate this trial.” "If there is any doubt on your honor’s mind, I want to refer you to the 81 and 85 Georgia,” said Dorsey. "This proposition is simply a dragnet to go out and bring In everyone when Leo Frank Is the only one we are concerned with here.” The objection was sustained. Attorney Arnold declared that he only wanted those around Frank in the factory described. Dorsey ob jected, and the objection was sus tained. Attorney Arnold then asked that the objection of the defense be re corded. Blood Spots Common. Q. How long have you been working at the factory where there were wom en, Mr Darley?—A. 24 years. Q.
