He did not make an affidavit in the Frank case for me. He told me he gave her a dozen bottles of beer one night and she was to meet him and he said she went off and never came back. He was not asked to make an affidavit. I was not talking to him about the Frank case, I was talking about Nell Wood. I brought up the subject. We talked about all these kind of characters, you know, down there. I was not making any investigation for C.W.Burns at that time. Mr. CROSS EXAMINATION.
