never came back to work after the newspaper published the repudia-
tion of his evidence of the State. April 15, 1914.
W. H. BOYD, Sworn for the State. I know C.W.Burke. I run the Tex-
minal Restaurant. Albert McKnight was working in the restaurant
in the capacity as pot washer. On the 15th day of April,1914,
Burke came to me and told me that McKnight wanted to quit. I did
not know McKnight until Burke came and told me that he wanted to
quit. Lehon and another man were with Burke at the time. Burke
talked with McKnight, I don't know how long, over in the colored
cafe. I assumed that McKnight wanted to quit and I let him go.
4TH ROUND
ALICE MARJORIE MCCORD, Sworn for the State (before Commissioner)
I have been employed at the Pencil factory for about five years.
I have read the fourth ground in the extraordinary motion for new
trial, where I am quoted as saying "positively the hair on said
lathe was not the hair of Mary Phagan and that the same was entirely
too light in color and was not of the same texture as that of Mary
Phagan. I did not make that statement as quoted. I did not posi-
tively say that the statement is not true. I did not say positively that it was not her hair. I did not say anything about the
texture of Mary Phagan's hair or the difference in the texture in
her hair and that found on the lathe. I don't know whether there
was any difference. The hair found on the lathe, I said looked to
be 11 or 12 years Mary Phagan's. I did not swear to my
opinion that hair positively if I brought to me sometime after
taken from my head. 7TH ROUND
CHARLES PHILLIPS, JR. Sworn for the State. On or about March 6th,
1914, I called at the home for an interview with Leo M. Frank,
and questioned him about the affidavit of Mrs. Ethel Harris Miller.
He discussed the matter at length and in the course of his conver-
sation said that sometime after the trial a friend of his told him
that Mrs. Miller, formerly Miss Harris, saw him on the corner of
Whitehall and Alabama Streets, on the 26th of April. "The moment
it was mentioned to me", said Frank, "the whole occurrence flashed
over my mind and I remembered that she bowed to me and that I
tipped my hat. Although I had naturally racked my memory until for
every happening on that day I had not remembered seeing Mrs. Miller
until the matter was mentioned to me after the trial. When the matter
was mentioned to me, however, I then remembered how she was dressed
