which had come to the knowledge of this defendant and of his counsel since the original motion for new trial was heard and passed, and which is as follows: That the said Ruth Robinson was a witness for the State on the original trial, and that on the morning of the day she testified detective Bass Rosser came to her house, and conducted her to Solicitor General Dorsey, which was her first meeting with him that the meeting took place in a room opposite the place where the trial occurred; that after being introduced to the Solicitor General by detective Bass Rosser, the Solicitor greeted the said Ruth Robinson effusively, and said he was glad she had come down to see him, and was sure she would make a good witness, and would help him out in the Frank case; that the Solicitor talked to her and questioned her in the room for about an hour and a half; that in the beginning of the conversation, the Solicitor asked her to go ahead and tell him all she knew about the defendant and Mary Phagan; that she told him that she knew nothing against or about the defendant, except that she worked for him; and so far as she knew he was a gentleman in every respect; that thereupon the Solicitor insisted that as she had worked at the factory for a considerable time that she must know something against the character of the defendant, and asserted that he was a very bad man; that she repeated that she knew absolutely nothing against or about the defendant's character, but the Solicitor insisted that she did, and persisted in the statement that the defendant was a bad character; that the Solicitor asked her if she had ever been in the defendant's office whereupon she replied she had been several occasions been thereupon business errands connected with the work performed in the factory; that the Solicitor then asserted that the said Ruth Robinson had been in defendant's office with him alone to keep dates for purposes other than business, to which she replied that it was not true; that the Solicitor finally openly insulted the said Ruth Robinson by affirming that she had had sexual intercourse with defendant in his office, or some room or place in the factory which defendant kept for the purpose of meeting girls, and that he insisted that she knew the location of such room, and that she knew of other girls having been to this room
