was the superintendent of the fac
tory—”
Rosser: “We object and we want
to argue this without the Jury.”
The jury was sent out.
Dorsey—Let the witness tell what
it is.
Turner—Mr. Frank told the girl he-
was superintendent < f the factory an 1
wanted to talk to her. She told him
she had to go back to work. Mr.
Frank then went off.
Mary Backed
Away From Frank.
Q. How was she acting?—A. She
backed off from him and he walked
toward her.
Q. How far did she back?—A.
Three or four feet. That was all T
heard\ Mr. Frank turned away.
Judge Roan—You can go into this
to this extent. You can show wheth
er he knew Mary Phagan.
Rosser—This other has nothing ;o
do 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 with 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
ence
Hooper—Your honor
iuSfcc Roan- Sit down, Mr. Hoop
er. Tne rfaestion is whether this will
show whetfffjr he knew her well
enough to knrhy her name.
Rosser—Thiw.©' lence doesn’t show
that.
Dorsey—Your honor, this witness
says this meeting occurred in the
same place and nfrar the same spot
where we 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 whole
case has been beclouded with every
charge that could be imagined. We
have gotten away from the charge of
murder and have been made to ap-
Bwer 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 MqKnight was
brought there?—A. Y'es; or, rather,
I was on the 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 net go in just then. I de
cided to make a demand to see her.
and it WH granted. 1 went in and
Stenographer Feb nary read a state
ment to her from his notes, then went
out to write it. Detectives Starnes.
Campbell and Lanford. Chief Beavers
and two men from Beck & Greggs'
were there when the stenographer
went out. I said that 1 didn't think
that she ought to be held. They told
me they could do nothing unless 1 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-
i beas corpus.
Q. Why did you not wait until she
; signed that paper?—A. 1 went up to
j 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
I 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 what my recollection is, Mr.
Dorsey.
Rosser took the witness.
Q. You knew that she had been
to Mr. Dorsey's office and had been
taken away screaming?—A. Yes; 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: "Walt 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 her 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.
R«n»ser—And you didn’t care what
you did to that poor negro woman.
Dorsey—I didn’t do anything to that
negro woman.
Judge Sustains
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 naked 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.
Q. Then they let her out the next
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 Fetauary 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 she added to it the
part about the money?—A. She said
something about money.
Q. Now, what else did she say?—A
1 don’t recall.
Q. Didn’t you question her yourself?
A. I asked one or tw r o little ques
tions.
Q. What about?—A. She said
something about a bucket of water
that was not very plain, and I ques
tioned her about it.
Rosser took the witness again.
Q. You don’t kno*r 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 asked him. At
torney Arnold made strenuous objec
tion and precipitated a long argu
ment. The question waa:
“Were you present at the meeting
of the State Board of Health when
Dr. Westmoreland preferred charges
against Dr, Harris?”
“Weo bject to going into that,” said
Mr. Arnold. "We would 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?”
“I am not going into lit further
than to disprove Dr. Westmoreland’s
statement." insisted Dorsey.
“Well, I am going into it,” said
Arnold, “if you don’t. 1 am going to
ask him about a letter he wrote Dr.
Westmoreland.”
"Go ahead, Mr. Dorsey,’> said Judge
Roan.
Q. Were you present when Dr.
Westmoreland preferred charges
against Dr. Harris?—A. Yes.
Q Were 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 w r as 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?
Rosser Says Record
Speaks for Itself.
Arnold: “No: Dj\ 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 w r as 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 w-ant to aak you about
a letter you wrote Dr. Westmoreland.
Dorsey: “We object to that. It is
Irrelevant.”
Arnold: “I haven’t the letter here,
hut will have it long before the doc
tor’s train leaves."
Judge Roan: “I will wait until I
see the letter.”
Dorsey offered part of the minutes
of the State Board of Health *s
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 w'ould 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 we object
to it all.”
Judge Roan: "I will rule the let
ter out.”

jail because she would not give the

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 inadmlssable.”
Crowd Roars When
Sheriff Sits on Floor.
Dorsey: “Every word of it is ad
mirable, because it is a fiat 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 Company, was
called to the stand. Dorsey question
ed him. He was given the Minola
McKnight affidavit to read. Sheriif
Mangum. In an attempt to stop talk
ing in the courtroom, met with a
little accident that s«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 nad expression
on his face. The crowd in the court
room fairly roared.

Judge Roan: “I am going to let

th° part that could not be put In regu

she quotes the conversation she over-*
heard.”
Dorsey: “May I or not, without

she did fcea-r something.
Q What did she «av about being
told to keen her mouth shut?—
Rosser: “Unless he wants to show
that Frank told her that, it is irrele
vant.”
Counsel in
Another Wrangle.
Dorsey: “It Is relevant to impeacn
the negro.”
Roan: “It is relevant, I think.”
Rosser: “You could not impeach
Mr. Selig on such a statement. Cer
tainly it is inadmlssable 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 impeach half a doz
en witnesses.”
Roan: "You understand it must he
relevant to some issue in this case.”
Hooper continued to argue that the
question should be admitted.
“Judge Roan: “If you Insist, I will
let it in.”

erence to what was said to her about
talking?—A. She said she was cau
tioned not to talk.
Q. What did she say at last about
receiving a higher or lower wage?—A.
She said her wages were increased
after the crime.
Q. What did she say first about that
hat?—A. She only made one reference
to It.
Q. Did anybody suggest anything
about the hat, before anyone asked
her about it?—A. Yes.
Q. Now' who w’as in there before
you went to the door and called the
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.
Q. Did you see Dorsey?—A. Yes;
w'e saw horn before we went to the
police station, and he told us he
would arrange for us to see her, and
that we might arrange to get her
out.
Q. Did you tell Minola that you
had come down to get her out?—A.
We did tell her we wanted to get her
out if we got a statement.
Q. Well, why didn’t you get her out?
—A. She left the station house before
we did.
Q. After she gave that statement
they let her out?—A. Yes.
Q. Do you know’ she left there be
fore,you did?—A. No, but the detec
tives said she had.

duty as a good citizen to aid in get
ting at the truth.
Rosser (very angrily and with con
tempt in his voice)—Let him come,
down; let him come down.

Called to Stand.
The witness was excused, and Al
bert McKnight, husband of Minola 1

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.
