It Is.

er he knew- Mary Phagan.
Rosser—This other has nothing o
C with It.
Hooper—If my brother will just
keep still a little bit, we may be able
to proceed further. This has another
value. It shows familiarity or a de
sire for familiarity.
Rosser—If your honor Is w ith us. I
don’t want to argue.
Judge Roan—The question Is
whether It can be shown Just how
this conversation took place.
Rosser—That is not the purpose of
this nee
Hooper—Your honor

er The question is whether this will

says this meeting occurred in the
same place and near the same spot
where w r e have contended the murder
occurre* It is the basis for further
evidence.
Arnold—That last statement let the
cat out of the bag. They want to
bring out another charge. This whol?
case has been beclouded with every
charge that could be imagined. Wo
have gotten away from the charge of
murder and have been made to an
swer every conceivable charge.
Hooper—I object to that, first be
cause it is not true and second be-

McKnight Woman’s
Lawyer Called.
The witness was excused, and
George Gordon, who said he had prac
ticed law for thirteen years, was call
ed to the stand. Dorsey questioned
him.
Q. Were you present at the police
station when Minola McKnight w’as
brought there?—A. Yes; or, rather,
1 was on ne outside a part of the
time. I went there in connection with
getting a habeas corpus proceedings
for her release. The detectives told
me 1 could not go in Just then. I de
cided to make a demand to see her.
and it was granted. I went in and
Stenographer Febuary read a state
ment to her from his notes, then went
out to write it. Detectives Starnes.
Campbell and I,anford. Chief Beavers
and tw'o men from Beck & Greggs’
were there when the stenographer
went out. I said that I didn’t think
that she ought to be held. They told
me they could do nothing unless I got
your (Dorsey’s) permission. So 1
went to see you, and you told me that
you could not let the woman go, be
cause it would put you in bad with
the detectives.
Q Didn’t I say that I had no right
to hold her?—A. No; you said you
would not release her without a ha
beas corpus.
Q. Why did you not wait until she
signed that paper?—A. I went up to
see you.
Q Did you hear her say anything
about the statement? Read over the
notes and then answer the question.—
A. That is the substance of the notes
that Febuary read over to her.
Q. What did she say? Did she
deny or admit them?—A. She said
she believed that was about right.
Dorsey Feared He’d
“Get in Bad.’’
Q I told you I didn’t have any
thing to do with locking her up. and
that it would be meddling for me to
order her release.—A. You said you
would not interfere because you
would get in bad with the detectives.
That is w’hat my recollection is. Mr.
Dorsey.
Rosser took the witness.
Q. You knew that she had
to Mr. Dorsey’s office and had been
taken away screaming? A. Ye£; I
heard that.
Q. That Mr. Dorsey, an officer of
the peace, let the police take that
woman away screaming?
Dorsey interrupted. “You say you
know that?” he asked the witness.
Rosser. ‘‘Wait until I get through.”
Then he continued his question.
Q. Did you ever find out what
Charge they had against her?—A. I
had a habeas corpus to get ner re
lease. but could not get to her.
Q They just held her because she
would not give a statement to the
police that Mr. Dorsey wanted?
Dorsey interposed an objection.
Rosser—I submit to this Jury that
the evidence in this case proves it is
true.
Dorsey—I submit it is not true, I
don't care what you argue to this
Jury.
Rosser—And you didn’t care what
you did to that poor negro woman.
Dorsey—I didn’t do anything to that
negro woman.
Judge Sustain*
Dorsey’s Objection.
Judge Roan sustained Dorsey's ob
jection. Rosser asked Dorsey for the
affidavit that Minola made in Dor
sey’s office. He asked the witness if
he had ever seen It before, and the
witness answered, “No.”
Q. Who was guilty of false impris
onment—was it Starnes or Beavers?
A. Beavers said he knew about it,
but that he could not let her out un
less Dorsey ordered it.
Q Did he have a warrant?—A. No
Westmoreland preferred charges
against Dr. Harris?—A. Yes.
Q. VV'ere those charges substan
tiated?
Arnold—Your honor, the minutes
are the- best evidence.
Dorsey—All right; take the min
utes.
The minute book of the State
Board of Health was handed the wit
ness.
Q. Look at page 128 and tell me if
that is a correct report of that meet
ing?—A. Yes.
Q Now, doctor, I want to know
whether those charges were found to
be true.
Arnold—The minutes are the best
evidence.
Judge Roan—Are those charges on
the minutes? •
A. I don’t see them.
Q. Well, what was the vote?—A. I
think it was unanimous.
Arnold—Doctor, where are the
charges?—A. I suppose they are in
the possession of the secretary, some-'
where In his office.
Arnold—Dr. Harris, then, has the
charges preferred against him? And
while the defense Is on the minutes,
charges are not?—A. You misunder
stood me. Neither the charges nor
the defense are on the minutes. Only
the action of the board.
Judge Roan—Didn’t Dr. 'Westmore
land in his testimony say that he
preferred charges of scientific dis
honesty against Dr. Harris and be
cause the board would not dismiss
Dr. Harris that he resigned?

Speaks for Itself.
day?—A. Yes.
Q. Did you see her?—A. I saw her
that first evening. She was In a cell
and crying hysterically. I asked Chief
Beavers to let her out in the corridor
and I guess he did.
Dorsey took the witness again.
Q. Didn’t I tell you that I had abso
lutely no rights In the matter?—A.
Something like that, but if you will
pardon'me, Hugh. I will tell you ex
actly what was done. I went to you
when the police told me they could
not let the woman go without an or
der from you. You told me you had
not had the woman arrested and was
not having her held.
Q. Now, didn’t Febuary read over
to you a portion of that affidavit?—A
Yes, he read something.
Q. Now, didn’t he read a part of the
statement, and sh* 4 added to it the
part about the money?—A. She said
something about money.
Q. Now, what else did say?—A
1 don’t recall.
Q. Didn’t you question her yourself?
A. I asked one or two little ques-.
tlons.
Q. What about?—A. She said
something about a bucket of w’ater
that was not very plain, and I ques
tioned her about it.
Rosser took the witness again.
Q. You don’t kno«c what happened
behind those doors?—A. No.
At this point court adjourned until
2 o'clock.
President of State
Board of Health Testifies.
When the afternoon session start
ed Solicitor Dorsey announced that on
account of some of the State’s wit
nesses being out of the city he would
vary his program. He called Dr. S
E. Benedict, of Athens, president of
the State Board of Health, and a
member of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Georgia for 32 years, to
the stand.
On the first question a^ked him. At
torney Arnold made strenuous objec
tion and precipitated a long argu
ment. The question was:
“Were you present at the meeting
of the State Board of Health w’hen
Dr. Westmoreland preferred charges
against Dr Harris?”
“Weo bject to going into that.” said
Mr. Arnold. “We w’ould have to get
the minutes of the board and all of
that.”
“I am not going into the matter
further than to disprove Dr. West
moreland’s statement,” said Mr- Dor
sey, “that the State board found Dr.
Harris guilty of scientific dishonesty.”
‘’You can go into the question of
the feeling of the witness,” said Judge
Roan.
“Suppose.” said Rosser, sarcasti
cally, “Mary had a little lamb, it's
fleece was white as snow, would that
have anything to do with this case?”
“Lam not going into iit further
than to disprove Dr. Westmoreland’s
statement,” insisted Dorsey.
“Well, I am going into It,” said
Arnold, “if you don’t. I am going to
ask him about a letter he w’rote Dr.
Westmoreland.”
"Go ahead, Mr. Dorsey,” said Judge
Roan.
Q. Were you present when Dr.
Arnold: ‘‘No; Dr. Westmoreland’s
version was that the board found him
guilty but refused to dismiss him,
and he (Dr. Westmoreland) resigned.”
Dr. Benedict: ‘‘That is not true.”
Rosser: “Never mind; the record
speaks for itself.”
Arnold and Rosser then examined
the minutes.
Dorsey: “I will ask you iwf you
are familiar with the business and
professional life of Dr. Harris?"
"We object.” said Rosser, and the
objection was sustained.
“Dorsey: “Doctor, what Is the con
dition of the board now?”
Rosser objected again, and was
sustained.
Attorney Arnold took the witness.
Q. Doctor, I want to ask you about
a letter you wrote Dr. Westmoreland.
Dorsey: “We object to that. It is
irrelevant ”
Arnold: “I haven’t the letter here,
but will have It long before the doc
tor’s train leaver.'
.r—^^e Roan: “I will wait until I
se^ letter.”
Dorsey offered part of the minutes
of the State Board of Health js
documentary evidence.
Arnold: “I don’t think any of this
should go in on the ground that it
is irrevelant, immaterial and incom
petent.”
Judge Roan: "I will let it in for
what it is worth.”
The defense asked that their ob
jection be recorded.
Dorsey: “I would like to kown if
the letter of the fourth to the Gov
ernor on the subject was admissable. ’
Rosser: "It is as admissible as any
of the other minutes, but w r e object
to it all.”
Judge Roan. “I will rule the let
ter out.”

Dorsey: "Now I want to tender

Rosser: "All in the world that af
fidavit san show is the treatment that
poor woman received at the hands of
the police. It is inadmissable.”
Crowd Roars When
Sheriff Sits on Floor.
Doroey: “Every word of it is ad-
miwsable, because it is a flat and posi
tive repudiation of Minola’s sworn
statements on the stand.”
Judge Roan: ‘Let me read it. I
will rule on It later.”
The witness was excused, and E.
H. Pickett, also an employee of Beck
& Greggs Hardware Gompany, was
called to the stand. Dorsey question
ed him. He was given the Minola
McKnight affidavit to read. Sheriff
Mangum. in an attempt to stop talk
ing in the courtroom, met with a
little accident that 5«ent a ripple of
merriment throughout the room.
While Pickett was reading the affi
davit, the Sheriff arose from his seat
beside the witness stand.
“You people over to the right are
talking too much, and if you don’t
stop I will have to put you out,” he
said. When he turned to resume his
seat he missed the chair and sat down
upon the floor with a sad expression
on his face. The crowd In the court
room fairly roared.

Dorsey: “But you are objecting to

Judge Roan: “I am going to let

th« part that'could not be put in regu
larly. For instance, that part where
she quotes the conversation she over
heard.”
Dorsey: “May I or not, without

Counsel in
Another Wrangle.
Dorsey: “It Is relevant to lmpeacn
the negro.”
Roan: “It is relevant, I think.”
Rosser: “You could not Impeach
Mr. Selig on such a statement. Cer
tainly it -is inadmissable to impeach
Minola McKnight."
Rosser dictated his objections to
the court stenographer.
Dorsey: “Answer the question. Mr.
Pickett.”
A. At first she denied It, then she
said Mrs. Selig told her to keep quiet.
Rosser continued to object.
Hooper: ‘‘This witness can be put
on the stand and in.peach half a doz

detectives?—A. Alfred McKnight,
Craven and myself.
Offered to Free Her
If She Made Statement.
Rosser took the witness on cross-
examination.
Q. Now why didn’t you believe her
first statement?—A. Because we
thought different.
Q. You kept her there two or three
hours, didn’t you?—A. Yes.
Q. Did you give her the third de
gree?—A. We didn’t call It that.

that we might arrange to get her
out.

had come down to get her out?—A.
We did tell her we wanted to get her
out if wo got a statement.
Q. Well, why didn’t you get her out?

Negro McKnight
Called to Stand.
The witness was excused, and Al
bert McKnight, husband of Minola
McKnight, w’as called to the stand.
Hooper questioned him, and had the
negro step down from the witness
chair and stand before the jury while
he displayed a blueprint of the Selig
home and a diagram of the dining
room and the sideboard mirror*
through which Albert said he observed
Frank during lunch at the Selig home
on Saturday, April 26.
Q. Where were you si’ting in the
kitchen on that da£?
Rosser—I object; you went over
all this on the direct examination.
Hooper—We had no diagram then;
that was brought in by the defense.
Judge Roan—The witness may ex
plain the diagram.
Hooper—I want ta show by this I
witness that the sideboard has been i
moved so as to change the angle of j
vision.
Q. How is the location of the side- i
board to what it was when you saw
it?—A. It has been pushed around.
The witness pointed out the change
to the jury on the diagram.
Rosser took the witness.

changed? Were you there when it

tell by looking at the diagram.
Girl Called to
Stand by Dortsey.
Miss Nellie Wood, a former em- I
ployee of the National Pencil Factory, !
was called to the stand by Solicitor
Dorsey. Attorney Rosser, anticipat
ing the character of her testimony,
announced that he would like a defin
ite ruling at once regarding the in
troduction of certain character evi
dence. The jury retired.
Frank’s wife and mother left the
courtroom by request. Dorsey ad
dressed the court. “We want to show
by this witness actual specific mis
conduct on the part of this defent-
ant. We want to show that Frank
made an indecent proposal to this
lady. It shows his conduct and his
character; and I submit that it is
material.”
Rosser: “Your honor, they have no
right In the world to put that testi
mony in. We have never put any
evidence in that would allow 7 the in
troduction of this testimony in rebut
tal. We insist that you rule definitely.
All the evidence we have put in to
show Frank’s conduct was in rebuttal
to the statements of Conley.”
Judge Roan: “Mr. Dorsey, tell me
how you can get around the statutes,
that you can not ask specific in
