Leo M. Frank.

No. Fulton Superior Court.
Conviction of Murder: July Term
1913. Extraordinary Motion for
New Trial.

Georgia, Fulton County,--------
Before the undersigned, personally appeared Leo M. Frank, who
being duly sworn, deposes and says that at the date of his
trial and at the date when his motion for new trial was overruled
he had no knowledge that the witnesses Georgia Denham and Cora L.
Leffew knew the facts, or could, or would testify to the facts
set out in Exhibits A, B, D and E attached to the amendment to
the motion; that at neither of said dates, and not until the
date of the Exhibits A, B, D and E did the defendant know that
either of said witnesses had any knowledge of the facts in said
exhibits outlined.

Deponent says that he did not know until after his trial
before a jury, and after his motion for new trial had been
overruled, of the existence of the letters purporting to be
written by Jim Conley, attached as Exhibits C to the amended
extraordinary motion for new trial this day allowed; and the
knowledge of said letters and the existence of said letters, and
that Jim Conley was the author thereof, has recently come to his
knowledge, and was not known by him until after the affirmance of
this case in the Supreme Court.
Leo M. Frank,
