LEO M. FRANK

A witness stated in the presence of Miss Haas and other passengers, "There has been so much talk that I don’t know what has been said; I don’t remember saying that I would join a party to help lynch him if he got out."

**N. Kelly:** I am a motorman for the Power Company. On April 26th, I was at the corner of Forsyth and Marietta Street about three minutes after 12. I saw the English Avenue car of Matthews and Mr. Hollis arrive at Forsyth and Marietta about 12:03. I knew Mary Phagan; she was not on that car.

**W. B. Owens:** I rode on the White City line of the Georgia Railway Company. We got to town on April 26th at 12:05; I don’t remember seeing the English Avenue car that day.

**O. Tillander:** Mr. Graham and I went to the pencil factory on April 26th, about 20 minutes to 12. I saw Conley this morning; I am not positive that he is the man I saw there; he looked to be about the same size.

**E. E. Graham:** I was at the pencil factory on April 26th with Mr. Tillander, about 20 minutes to 12. We met a negro on the ground floor. I don’t know whether it was Jim Conley or not. He was about the same size. If he was drunk, I couldn’t notice it.

**Tey Jones:** I saw Jim Conley at the corner of Hunter and Forsyth Streets on April 26th. He came into the saloon while I was there, between 1 and 2 o'clock. He was not drunk; I left him a little after 2 o'clock.

**Harry Scott:** I picked up a cord in the basement when I went through there with Mr. Frank. Lee’s shirt had no color on it, except that of blood. I got the information about Conley’s ability to write from McWorth when I returned to Atlanta.

**L. T. Kendrick:** I was the night watchman at the pencil factory. I punched the clocks for a whole night's work in two or three minutes. I don’t think you could have heard the elevator on the top floor if the machinery was running or if anyone was knocking on any of the floors.

**C. J. Maynard:** I have seen Burtus Dalton go into the factory with a woman in June or July 1912. It was between 1:30 and 2 o'clock in the afternoon on a Saturday.

**W. T. Hollis:** I have always said that if Epps was on the car, I did not see him.

**J. D. Reed:** Mr. Hollis told me on Monday, April 28th, that Epps had gotten on the car and taken his seat next to Mary, and that the two talked to each other all the way as though they were little sweethearts.

**Dr. Clarence Johnson:** I am a specialist on diseases of the stomach and intestines; I am a physiologist. A physiologist makes his searches on the living body; the pathologist makes his on a dead body. In the case before me, my opinion is that the digestion of bread and cabbage was stopped within an hour after they were eaten.

**Dr. George M. Niles:** I confine my work to diseases of digestion. Every healthy stomach has a certain definite and orderly relation to every other healthy stomach. Assuming a young lady between 13 and 14 years of age at 11:30 on April 26, 1913, eats a meal of cabbage and bread, and that the next morning about 3 o'clock her dead body is found, with the other evidence...
