anything for me and was told he had not. Burke had told me also that he would give me a pass from Jacksonville to Atlanta to use anytime soon. Burke did not leave either the $100. or the pass. The only other time I have been offerew any money in connection with the Frank case was in Dublin, Ga. Just a short time after the trial last year, I went to Dublin with Mr. Heifner to do some work on a bank which he was working on here. When I got off the train at Dublin there were two Jews standing there talking. I heard one of them say to the other: "There's that fellow Dalton that swore in the Frank case".

I was with Daisy Hopkins when she telephoned first to Frank's office and told him that she wanted to borrow some money. She said "I have got a friend with me now" and she was told to come right over and bring her friend with her. We went right away. There I saw her when she borrowed the $5.00 from Frank. In regard to the cot in the basement, I know that Leo M. Frank knew about it. He was talking to the girls and
