As he read it he kinder grinned.
He told me be believed Mr. Frank
was just as innocent as the an-
gels from Heaven. He was never
known to tell the truth; would
not believe him on oath.

Cross-examined. Have never
heard Mr. Frank aeeused of any
act of immorality or familiarity
with the girls in the factory. Jim
Conley got two papers from me
on Tuesday and Wednesday. I
bought them. Jim always seemed
to be kind of nervous or half
drank or something. He aroused
my suspicions after he began to
read the papers and grin about
them and eomment on them.
