L.K.ROSSER,MORRIS BRANDON, R.R.ARNOLD, HERBERT J.
HAAS, LEONARD HAAS, Sworn for the Movant. We did not, at the
date of the trial, nor until after the Supreme Court had affirmed
the case of Leo M. Frank have any knowledge of the fact that J.W.
Boozer knew and would testify that Jim Conley was on Peters Street
in the City of Atlanta, on the 26th day of April, 1913, between the
hours of four and four thirty o'clock. We (except Morris Brandon,
who did not have active control) made active search to trace Conley dur-
ing each hour of the day of April 26, 1913, and did not, until the
date of the affidavit of said Boozer find anyone who would testify
to seeing Conley at that date. Neither of us had any knowledge
until the date of the affidavit of said Boozer, to-wit, April 17,
1914, that the said Boozer knew and would testify to the facts set
up in the affidavit of said date.

LEO M. FRANK, Sworn for the Movant. I did not, at the time
of the trial, nor until after the Supreme Court had affirmed my
case, have any knowledge of the fact that J.W.Boozer knew and would

1913, and did not until the affidavit of said Boozer find anyone
who would testify to seeing Conley at that date. Neither did I
have any knowledge that the said Boozer knew and would testify to
the facts set up in his affidavit made on the 17th day of April,
1914. attested by Geo. Burke as Notary.

2ND AMENDMENT TO MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL.
MRS. MAUD BALLBY, Sworn for the Movant. On Saturday, April 26,1913,
I was living at 265 Humphries Street. At eleven o'clock A.M., or a
very few moments after that time I boarded a Stewart Avenue car and
left the car at Forsyth and Mitchell Streets. My mother, Mrs. May
Barrett was with me, and after leaving the car we both walked to-
