318 X. AMERICAN STATE TRIALS.

Mr. Dorsey. No, they didn’t sea him there, I doubt if anybody
else saw him there either,

Mr, Arnold. If a erowd of people here laugh every time we say
anything, how are we to hear the Court? He has made a whole lot
of little misstatements, but T let those pase, but I'm yoing to inter-
rapt bim on every substantial one he makes,

Mr. Dorsey. He seys those ladiea saw Quinn—says they
‘saw Quinn was there before 12, and before I left there at 1
o’eclock.’? ‘‘You saw him at that, did yout’? ‘Yes, sir.”’
“Now, you are sure he did that’? ‘‘Yes, sir.’’ ‘You are
positive he did that!’’ ‘Yes, sir’; and then Mr. Arnold
comes in with his suggestion, and she takes the bait and runs
under the bank—he saw how it cut. Then T came back at her
again—now, just to show how she turned turtle, ‘“You did sea
Frank working Saturday morning on the financial sheet?’’
“No, he didn’t work on the financial sheet.’’ ‘Why did you
state a moment ago you saw him working on it?’? ‘‘No, sir, I
didn’t.”’

My Lordt Gentlemen, are you going to take that kind of
staff? I know she is a woman, and I’d hesitate except I had
the paper here in my hand, to make this charge, but if you, as
honest men, are going to let the people of Georgia and Fulton
County and of Atlanta suffer one of its innocent girls to go
to her death at the hands of a man like this and then turn him
Yoose on such evidence as this, then I say, it’s time to quit
going through the farce of summoning a jury to try him, If
T had the standing, the ability and the power of either Messrs.
Arnold or Rosser, to ring that into your ears and drive it
home, you would almost write a verdict of guilty before you
left your box.

Perjury! Perjury! When did old John Starnes and Pat
Campbell, from the Emerald Isle, or Rosser ever fall so low
that, when they could convict a negro—easy, because he
‘wouldn't have Arnold and Rosser, but just my friend Bill
Smith. And for what reason do they want to let Jim go and
go after this man Frankf Why didn’t they take Newt Lee?
Why didn’t they take Gantt? The best reason in the world
