0244 Page – Leo Frank Georgia Supreme Court Appeals Records, 1913, 1914

Here is the extracted text from the image:

I'm going to confront him, even before any attorney, no
matter who he is, returns from Tallulah Falls, and if not then,
I tell you just as soon as that attorney does return, I'm going
to see that that negro is brought into his presence, and permit-
ted to set forth his accusations. You make much here of the
fact that you didn't know what this man Conley was going to say
when he got on the stand. You could have known it, but you dared
not do it."

Whereupon the following colloquy ensued:
"Mr. Rosser: May it please the Court, that's an untrue
statement; at that time, when he proposed to go through that
dirty farce, with a dirty negro, with a crowd of policemen, con-
fronting this man, he made his first statement, his last
statement, he said, and these addas, nobody ever dreamed of them
and Frank had no chance to meet them; that's the truth.
You ought to tell the truth; if a man is involved for his life;
that's the truth".

Mr. Dorsey (resuming): It don't make any difference about your
addendas, and you may get up there just as much as you want to,
but I'm going to put it right up to this jury---
"Mr. Rosser: May it please the Court, have--- I got the right
to interrupt him when he misstates the facts?"
"The Court: Whenever he goes outside of the record".
"Mr. Rosser: Has he got the right to comment that I haven't
exercised my reasonable rights?"
"The Court: No sir, not if he has done that"
"Mr. Rosser, Nobody has got a right to comment on the fact
that I have made a reasonable objection".
"Mr. Dorsey: But I'm inside of the record, and you know it,
and the jury knows it. I said, may it please Your Honor, that
this man, Frank, declined to be confronted by this man, Conley".
"Mr. Rosser: That isn't what I objected to, he said that
at that meeting that was proposed by Conley, as he says, but
really proposed by the detectives--- when I was out of the City,
that if that had been met, I would have known Conley's state-
ment, and that's not true, I would not have been any wiser about
his statement than I was here the other day."
