LEO M. FRANK. 325

a whole raft of other stuff that Schiff, as willing as he was,
as anxious as he was, couldn’t stultify himself to such an ex-
tent as to tell you that Frank did that work Saturday morn-
ing. But if he did write that financial sheet Saturday after-
noon, a thing I submit he didn’t do,—I’m willing to admit
he wrote that letter——I ask you, as fair men and honest
men and disinterested jurors representing the people of this
