Here Attorney Rosser compared h’3 record of the inquest with the official copv and found them identical. Dorsey said: “Your honor, I want to read Frank’s statement before the Coroner and have it introduced.” Rfcsser: “I will ask your honor to give a moment’s consideration to that.” • Judge Roan ordered the Jury to re tire while he heard the arguments. Dorsey: “I want to read this to your honor. The next witness to be called will follow light on it.” Rosser: “I am quite sure that he can not use a part of that testimony nor all of it. I have two objections. One is that he can’t take or cull out a part of it which, when standing alone, might mean something differ ent. and I object to all or any of it going in.” Starnes Called Again. Rosser considered a Vnoment, then: “After consideration, I will agree to all of it going in.” Dorsey: "We decline that proposi tion.” .. „ , Detective Starnes was then called to the stand. The jury had not returned. Attor ney Hooper questioned him. Q Were you at the inquest when Frank made this statement ?—A. Yes. Q Did Rosser represent him?—A. I don’t know After an extended argument again over the introduction of Frank’s evi dence at the Coroner’s inquest, Dor- said he would give the matter up and take it up again from a different angle. _ , ... Dr H. F. Harris, Secretary of the State Board of Health, was called to the stand, following Starnes, who was called for a moment to testify that he was present when Frank testified before the Coroner. The jury returned. Dorsey begin the questioning: . . q. What is your business?—A. hy- s i clan. Q. What experience have you had? A I began to practice in 1888. Q. Outline, please, your experience. Dr. Harris made a lengthy outline of his experience In the field of med icine, declaring that he became Sec retary of the State Board of Health in 1903. Few Wounds on Body. Q.

Was the injury on her scalp suf ficient to have caused her death?—A. No. Q. What effect do you think it would’ have had?—A. It would have rendered her unconscious. Q.

I should «ay between half and throe quarters of an hour. Q. How fresh were the evidence of violence?—A. I would say Just a few minutes before death. Dr. Harris then address Judge Roan “Your honor. I will ask you to ex cise me 1 am too weak to go on with this. I have been ill three days.” “I just want to ask one more ques tion,” said Dorsey, “and then I will ask vour honor to excuse this wit ness until he is able to return for the cross-examination.” Q. How much blood was lost.—A. very little. . Deputy Plennie Miner helped Dr. Harris from the stand where he was on the urge of collapsing. He he went from the s»tand, Dr. Harris said he would endeavor to return Satur day. G. C. Febuary, stenographer to Chief Lanford, followed Dr. Harris to the witness stand. Dorsey took up the examination: Q. Were you present at Chief Lan- ford’s office when Leo Frank and L. Z. Rosser were there?—A. Yes, sir. Q.

Assistant Solicitor Stephens then read the statement of Frank taken by Febuary. Fixes Time of Visit. Solicitor Dorsey's reason for want ing the statement on record was to show the time Frank said Mary Pha gan came to the pencil factory for her pay. The statement reads: “Came for her pay between 12:05 and 12:10—probably 12:07 o’clock.” Albert McKnight, husband of Min- ola McKnight, cok at the Frank home, was then called to the stand.
