In reply to Ground 14, the State says that, even if it be true
that the said C. Burtis Dalton has changed his evidence as given by
him on the trial of the original case, this is not be ground for a
new trial. Said Dalton merely sustains Jim Conley. As a matter of
fact, Dalton's recitals were denied by one Daisy Hopkins, but Daisy
Hopkins was overwhelmingly impeached for general bad character, much
more effectively than the defense impeached Dalton for general bad
character. But in this connection, the attention of the Court is
called to the evidence of Merck, an impeached witness for the State,
who testified, as will be seen by reference to the brief, to a state of
facts positively impeaching Daisy Hopkins, and sustaining Dalton's evi-
dence, and thus sustaining Conley. As a matter of fact, the State
does not believe that the said Dalton has recented the evidence intro-
duced on the trial, and does not believe that the said Leo M. Frank
will be able to produce any bona fide evidence to the contrary.
