in the Frank case, admits having made certain statements as to Frank's
guilt of the murder of Mary Phagan, but says these statements were
made after the trial of Leo M. Frank, and not before; they say that
so far as they know, the said Henslee has not been in Monroe, Georgia,
since the trial of Leo M. Frank, and they reiterate the statement
that all statements made in their hearing by said Henslee, and testi-

the commencement of the trial of Leo M. Frank for the murder of Mary
Phagan on July 28th, 1913; to the best of these deponents' recollect-
