sworn for the defendant, testified that they were formerly employ-
ed at the National Pencil Company and worked at the factory for a
period varying from three days to three and a half years; that
Leo M. Frank's character for lasciviousness was bad.

MISS MAMIE KITCHENS, Sworn for the State in rebuttal.

I have worked at the National Pencil Company two years. I
am on the fourth floor. I have not been called by the defense xxxx
xxxxxxx Miss Jones and Miss Howard have also not been called by
the defense to testify. I was in the dressing room with Miss
Irene Jackson when she was undressed. Mr. Frank opened the door,
stuck his head inside. He did not knock. He just stood there and
laughed. Miss Jackson said "Well, we are dressing, blame it", and
then he shut the door.

CROSS EXAMINATION. Yes, he asked us if we didn't have any work to
do. It was during business hours. We didn't have any work to do.
We were going to leave. I have never met Mr. Frank anywhere, or
any time for immoral purposes.

MISS RUTH ROBINSON, sworn for the State in rebuttal.

I have seen Leo M. Frank talking to Mary Phagan. He was
talking to her about her work, not very often. He would just tell
her, while she was at work, about her work. He would stand just
close enough to tell her about her work. He would show
her how to put rubbers in the pencils. He would just take up the
pencil and show her how to do it. That's all I saw him do. I heard
him speak to her, he called her Mary. That was last summer.
