and at this point, I said that Mr.Frank shut the door and disappeared. When I was on the witness stand I only answered such questions as were put to me by the Solicitor General or by counsel for Frank. If I had been permitted to tell the facts in my own way I would have told them exactly as I am telling them now. When Mr. Frank opened the dressing room door and looked in and asked the girls if they did not have any work to do, none of them were in an exposed condition. I had removed my outside street skirt, but my person was fully protected by my underskirt and while Miss Jackson had removed a part of her clothes, her person was not in any way exposed. Detective Bass Rosser called at my home during the trial of Mr.Frank and interviewed me and asked me a great many embarrassing questions as to what I knew against the character of Mr.Frank. I told him that I knew nothing that would reflect on Mr. Frank, and further told him that so far as my knowledge went and so far as I had observed, Mr.Frank always conducted himself as a gentleman. I do not think Mr.Frank showed me the proper respect in coming into the dressing room as he did.

MARIE KARST, Sworn for the Movant. I worked at the National Pencil Company about eighteen months prior to January, 1913, and knew Leo M.Frank. I was a witness for the State at the trial of Leo M.Frank and testified that his character was bad, and I was not cross-examined. If I had been asked as to how I knew Mr.Frank's character was bad, I could only have said because I had heard girls say that they were afraid to have him catch them loafing. No girl or women ever told me that Mr.Frank had ever in any way insulted them. I never saw any woman in Mr.Frank's office and never heard any other girl or women say that they never saw any woman in Mr.Frank's office drinking or eating in any way
