then went directly to the Atlanta Hospital where Dr. Ballinger waited on me. It was very possible, and quite probable, that blood dripped from my wounded hand upon the floor as I was passing the aforesaid dressing room, and I am not willing to state that blood did not drip from his hand to the floor in front of the dressing room already referred to. I was paid $7.50 for two days attendance in court by the Solicitor.

MRS. M. JAFFE, Sworn for the Movant. I have known Leo M. Frank for about three and one half years. I knew him first at No. 305 S. Pryor Street where he boarded before his marriage and where I also boarded. Since the time I first met Mr. Frank I have known him continuously and have often seen and talked to him on the streets in Atlanta, and at the place of business of Mr. Jaffe and other places, and I was well acquainted with him on April 26, 1913. On April 26, 1913, I left my husband's place of business at No. 74 Whitehall Street, either at one o'clock P.M. or a few minutes prior thereto, and I came directly therefrom to the drug store of Brown & Allen at the corner of Whitehall and Alabama Streets. Just about five minutes past one o'clock on the afternoon of April 26, 1913, I left this drug store and as I did so I recognized Mr. Leo M. Frank who was standing in front of Jacob's Pharmacy on the opposite corner of Alabama and Whitehall Streets, looking towards Whitehall Street. I did not speak to him at the time inasmuch as he was not looking directly toward me at the time I recognized him. I do not know whether he saw or recognized me or not, but my belief is he did not inasmuch as I and Mr. Frank are well acquainted and he would have spoken to me had he seen me. At the time of the trial in June and August, 1913, I had no knowledge whatever of the fact that my having seen Leo M. Frank at Whitehall and Alabama Streets five minutes past one o'clock on the afternoon of April 26th, 1913, would be material in his case and for that reason I did not tell Leo M. Frank or his attorneys of the fact, and it was not until after the trial of Leo M. Frank that I told his attorneys of the fact, the exact time I told them I am unable to state. I am willing to come to Atlanta and testify
