siderably after the trial and conviction of Mr.Frank that I acquainted his lawyers with these facts, and I then told either Mr. Leonard Haas, or Mr. Herbert J.Haas, I do not now recall which. The reason that I did not know the importance of my having seen Mr.Frank at this time, I did not know that it would have any bearing upon the case and when I first learned that it would have a bearing on the case I was then reluctant to tell these facts, as I desired to avoid notoriety and publicity; however, after I was made to understand that my having seen Mr.Leo M.Frank at 10 minutes past 1 o'clock in the afternoon on April 26, 1913, was an important point in this case, I communicated these facts to his attorneys, at a time which, as already stated, was considerably after his conviction, the exact time which I do not recollect.

MAIER LEFKOFF, Sworn for the Movant: On April 26, 1913, I accompanied Mrs.Ethel Harris, mother when she went to meet her sister at J.P.Allen's on Whitehall Street, between Alabama and Hunter Streets.

I should say we reached the corner of Alabama and Whitehall Streets, at about ten minutes after one, and we made no stops between Allen's and that point. I do not know Mr.Frank and I do not remember either of the ladies bowing to him at that time.
