following answers at the coroner's inquest: "Q. Had you ever
seen him change that before? A. Well, he put the tape in
once before. Q. When was that? A. I don't know, sir, when
it was, it was one night. Q. How long did it take him the
first time you ever saw him put the tape on? A. I never
paid any attention to him. Q. Well, about how long did it
take him, five minutes? A. No, sir, it didn't take him
that long. Q. Did it take him a minute? A. I couldn't
tell exactly how long. Q. How long did it take the other
night, on Saturday night? A. Well, it took him a pretty
good little bit, because he spoke about it. He said it's
pretty hard, you know, to get on." I don't know whether he
swore anything else on that particular subject without examining
the record.

Q. C. FEBRUARY, sworn for the State.
I was present at Chief Lanford's office when Leo M. Frank
and L. Z. Rosser were there. I took down Mr. Frank's state-
ment stenographically. I don't remember Frank's answers in
detail. Mr. Rosser was looking out the window most of the
time. He didn't say anything while I was in there. This (Ex-
hibit B, State) report is correct report of what Mr. Frank
said. It was made on Monday, April 28th.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
I believe Mr. Rosser and Mr. Frank were in the room when
I came in. It was sometime in the forenoon. I have never
been a court stenographer except in Recorder's court. I am
Chief Lanford's private secretary. Mr. Black was in there
during the latter part of Mr. Frank's statement. Chief Lan-
ford asked Mr. Frank if he changed clothes. He showed part of
his shirt and opened his trousers.
