X. AMERICAN STATE TRIALS

Cross-examined, Mr. Frank got home about 11 o'clock on Sunday. He told us he had been sent for to come to town. He spoke of a crime having been committed; I asked him what had happened. I don’t remember that he told me about the crime. He did not seem unconcerned about it. I said at the coroner’s that I thought he seemed unconcerned about it; I don’t remember his remarking about the youth of the girl or the brutality of the crime. I don’t think Mr. Frank mentioned the name of the girl that was killed on Sunday.

Helen Kerns: At 10 minutes after 1 on April 26, I saw Mr. Frank standing up against the building at the corner of Alabama and Broad Streets.

Mrs. A. P. Levy: I saw Mr. Frank get off a car on Memorial Day between 1 and 2 o’clock and cross the street to his home.

Mrs. M. G. Michael: I was visiting my sister, Mrs. Wolfsheimer, and saw Mr. Frank about two o'clock on April 26th, going up Washington Street towards town. I was on the front porch when he came up and asked me about my people at home. I noticed nothing unusual about him; no scratches or marks of any nervousness about him.

Jerome Michael: I saw Mr. Frank on April 26th between 5 minutes to 2 and 2. I called him, and when he saw my mother standing on the porch, he came over and spoke to her. I noticed absolutely nothing unusual about him. No scratches, bruises, marks, and no nervousness.

Mrs. Hennie Wolfsheimer: I am the aunt of Mrs. Frank. On April 26th, I saw Mr. Frank in front of my house about 2 o'clock. I walked out on the porch after he came. I saw nothing unusual about him. No nervousness or bruises or scratches. I saw no stains on his clothes, no marks or tears of any kind.

Julian Loeb: I live across the street from the Wolfsheimer residence and am a cousin of Mrs. Frank. I saw Mr. Frank on April 26th in front of the Wolfsheimer residence. It was between 1:50 and 2 o'clock.

Cohen Loeb: I was on the car with Mr. Frank going back to town on April 26th after lunch. That was about 2 o'clock. The car was blockaded by the crowd. There was nothing unusual about him. No marks, or scratches, or spots on him. He had on a brown suit and a derby.

H. J. Hinchey: I saw Mr. Frank on April 26th opposite the main entrance to the Capitol. He was on the streetcar going to town. It was between 2 and 2:15.

Miss Rebecca Carson: I work at the National Pencil Co. on the fourth floor and am forelady of the sorting department. I have from thirteen to fifteen girls under me. I have heard the elevator running when the machinery in the factory was not running. On April 28th, I saw Mr. Frank looking at the parade in front of Rich’s between 2:20 and 2:25. He spoke to me; I saw him again at 10 minutes to 3 going into Jacob’s Pharmacy. On Monday morning, I said to Jim Conley, "Where were you on Saturday? Were you in the factory?" He said, "I was so drunk I don’t know where I was or what I did." And Snowball, who was standing nearby, laughed.
