getting 18 months sentence, that Jim was doing a lot of talking
and that if he didn't stop talking so much, he was going to talk
his neck on the gallows. This morning somebody came after me to go
to Mr.Dorsey's office. I went there and he told me that I must
remember that Annie's case hadn't been settled yet and he said that
the best thing I could do for Annie and myself was to bring Annie
down there to him. I told him I didn't know where she was and all
I could do would be to ask the layers in the 4th National Bank
Building where she was and I said I thought I would go over and ask
them where she was, and he said there wasn't no need in the world
to ask them. On last Thursday I met Annie on Decatur Street and she

also asked me if Annie had something in a pawn-shop on Decatur
Street, and I said yes, but I didn't know what it was.

J. JACOBS, Sworn for the Movant; I am acquainted with Annie Maude
Carter. She is a woman of good character and credibility and I would
believe her on oath.

LEO M. FRANK, Sworn for the Movant. The facts set out and sworn to
in Exhibit A, hereto attached, were unknown to me at the time of my
trial before the jury in Fulton County, Georgia, and were unknown
to me until the date of Exhibit A. I did not know the facts and cir-
cumstances set out in Exhibit A until the date of said Exhibit A
and could not possibly have known the same by the exercise of any
manner of diligence.

L. Z. ROSSER, R. R. ARNOLD, LEONARD HAAS, HERBERT J. HAAS, MORRIS
BRANDON, 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 facts and circumstances set
out in Exhibit A, hereto attached. We, (except Morris Brandon, who
did not have active control of the case, and whose firm was represent-
ed by L. Z. Rosser) made diligent search to find out all about the
