long enough to think what to do and what to say. Burke was writing this all down, as we were talking and when we finished, he got the stenographer of the National Pencil Company to write out what was said. The paper was not written in my presence. I went upstairs while they were preparing it. He then sent for me to come back to sign it. I did not read the paper after that I signed. I don't think there was anybody in the room. Afterwards Burke came to see me at my home and asked me to sign another paper. Burke represented that the new paper which I signed was exactly like the other one, except that the new paper had on it "extraordinary Motion for new trial". I took Burke's word as to what these papers contained. I did not tell Burke anything different to what I have set out above, and if he has anything in either one of these papers other than what I have stated, then said Burke has misled me and misrepresented the facts to me. Frank did not knock at the door, and gave no intimation that he was coming in. It is true that Mr. Rosser when he talked to me about Leo M. Frank, asked me fully with reference to what I knew concerning said Frank's character and his relation with women, and of course that line of questioning was calculated to be embarrassing, but the deportment, bearing and manner of the said Rosser was gentlemanly in every respect, and he only asked such questions as were necessary to get at the truth. I refer to the detective Bass Rosser.
