S. L. ASHER, Sworn for the defendant, in sur-rebuttal.

About two weeks ago I was coming to town between 5 and
10 minutes to one on the car and there was a man who was talking
very loud about the Frank case and all of a sudden he said,
"They ought to take that damn Jew out and hang him anyway". I
took his number down to report him.

CROSS EXAMINATION. I have not had a chance to report since it
happened.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENT MADE BY DEFENDANT,LEO M. FRANK.

In reply to the statement of the boy that he saw me talk-
ing to Mary Phagan when she backed away from me, that is abso-
lutely false, that never occurred. In reply to the two girls,
Robinson and Newell, that they saw me talking the Mary Phagan
and that I called her "Mary", I wish to say that they are mistaken
It is very possible that I have talked to the little girl in
going through the factory and examining the work, but I never
knew her name, either to call her "Mary Phagan", "Miss Phagan",
or "Mary".

In reference to the statements of the two women who say
that they saw me going into the dressing room with Miss Rebecca
Carson, I wish to state that that is utterly false. It is a
slander on the young lady, and I wish to state that as far as
my knowledge of Miss Rebecca Carson goes, she is a lady of un-
blemished character.
