“I object to that question, your
Honor.” interrupted Solicitor Dorsey.
‘It is a question for argument.”
Rosser: “Can't i show that people
saw* him or didn't see him, to show
some object in his being there.”
Judge Roan: “I think so.”
Dorsey: “Do I understand Your
Honor rules that question is admis
sible?”
Judge Roan: “Ask your question.
Mr. Rosser.”
Jurors Are Inattentive.
Dorsey sat down smiling.
During Mr. Rosser’s questioning a
number of the members of the jury
i were inattentive. It was obvious that
j Mr. Rosser was postponing the cli-
] max of his cross-examination for
some time ahead.
More and more it was apparent
that he was endeavoring to weary the
negro down before making a real
effort to impeach him.
The strategy with which he pre
served his own strength was undis
guised. He kept his seat and asked
most of his questions in an even.

after Mr. Frank had come back from
dinner.
Q. How do you know’ he had come
back from dinner?—A. I was looking
out of the window and saw him com
ing frm Alabama street.
Q. Well, this Saturday you and Mr
Frank got to the facotry at the same

Yes, sir, he went in ahead.

on upstairs.
Q. What time w'as it you locked the
door?—A. I don’t know.
Q. Give your best estimate.—A. I
don’t know.
Q. Was it 1 o’clock?—A.I know it
w’as earlier than that, because 1 heard
the screaming and stamping before
that.
Q. You locked the door before he
stamped?—A. When he stamped I
locked fhe door.
Left Door Unlocked.

that.
Q. Why do you change to-day?—A.
Well, we were right there together.
He went in ahead of me.
Q. What did he say to you about
you wanting to go to the laundry?
A. He didn’t say that to me right
then. He said w’hen I met him at the
factory that I was a little early for
w'hat he wanted me to do and said
he he did not want me to let Mr.
Darley know about it.
Q. Now. Jim, didn’t you say that
yesterday?—A. I dlsremember.
Hooper Strenuously Objects.
Q. Now. Jim. I want to know just
what you said to me yesterday. You
know that you didn’t say that. I want
to know what you said next—
Attorney Hooper interrupted with a
strenuous objection.
“We object to him questioning the
w itness as to what he said next,” said
Hooper. "Such questions can only be
for the purpose of impeaching the
witness. In the eyes of the law
what he said yesterday is written tes
timony. The stenographer took It
down and the stenographer can read
the notes to him. It is not fair to
the witness, especially a witness who
has been on the stand for a day to
make him give the logical sequence
to his testimony. In a matter of
.TOSB--examination like this when a
witness is questioned rapidly it is
neither fair to him nod right In the
eyes of common fairness to attempt
to thus impeach him. The law makes
it plain that the questions and an
swers* of the day before should bo
read to him and left to him to either
qualify, affirm or deny."
Rosser replied: “Your honor, we
are simply trying to test this witness'
memory We are attempting to find
out if he can tell the truth twice, or
if he can lie twice. He has already
lied. We w'ant to test his memory of
his parrot-like story of yesterday, and
we have the right to test his mem
ory.”
Judge Rce^i overruled the objec
tion. declaring that the defense had
the right to test the witness’ memory
by asking if he had said those things.

Conley Isolated in Tower.
Conley was brought to the court
house Tuesday morning at 8:15 by
Deputy Sheriff Haygood. He spent
the night at the Tower in complete
Isolation. He was allowed to see not
even his own attorney, William M.
Smith, by special agreement of de
fense and State.
It w r as the first time for months
that the detectives and Smith had not
been permitted to see him whenever
they wished.
Conley, by Smith’s arrangement, ate
a hearty meal of steak and scram
bled eggs Monday night. He was
given a cold ahow’er bath before he
retired and arose Tuesday morning to
don a brand-new suit of underclothes
which had been provided for him by
his attorney. He ate another hearty
meal and went to the courthouse well
prepared to withstand the grueling
examination that wras in store for
him.
Frank and Conley did not meet
after they left the courtroom Tuesday
night. Conley w r as taken to the third
floor of the Tower, and Frank occu
pied his cell on the second floor.
Frank was brought to the courthouse
Tuesday morning by Sheriff Mangum.
Despite the testimony of Monday,
Frank, his wife and his mother seem
ed ynusually cheerful. They came
into the courtroom before any of the
lawyers and chatted and laughed
quite naturally and unaffectedly for
several minutes before court con
vened.
