Mrs. Mattie Thompson, a woman of over middle age and an employee of the factory, was among those put on the stand to testify to Leo Frank's character and also about the alleged flirting carried on by some of the girls from the windows of the dressing rooms.
She said that she did not know the names of any of them and had never seen any of them in the act of carrying on a flirtation, but that it had been talked of in the factory and she and some of the other elderly ladies had reported it to N. V. Darley, assistant superintendent. She said Fran's character was good.
On cross-examination Mr. Dorsey drew from her the statement that she had been talked to by Attorney Hubert Haas, assisting in the Frank defense, just a short while before she took the stand.
Mrs. Mary Bolton, Miss Velvie Holland and Miss Ethel Barber declared that they did not know anything about Frank's character.
