Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

the least doubt in my mind that these letters were written by the
same person who wrote the notes found by the dead body of Mary
Phagan.

S. M. NETTLEBAUM, Sworn for the Movant.
I am a court reporter and
reported the oral argument made by Solicitor General Hail Dorsey to
the Jury in the matter of the State vs.Leo M.Frank in Fulton Superior
Court, on August 22,23 and 25th.
The Solicitor made the following
statements:

(page 78) "...this man Frank, by the language of these notes, in
attempting to fasten the crime upon another, has indelibly fixed it
upon himself.
I renente it.
We indelibly fixed it upon this
the crime upon another, which were intended to fix
Leo L.Frank.
(page 79) And this men here, by the defending,
to have b en written by Mary Phagan, by the v.rbiage end the
language and the context, in trying to fasten it on another, as sure
as you are sitting in this Jury box has indelibly fastened it on
him.
(page 80) This letter that I hold in my hand says that
this negro did it by hisself.
That letter says, 'he said he would love
me,' and so forth and so on, and 'laid down like the night witch did it,'
and it continues, 'but that long tall black negro did by hisself.'
says, 'I done it!' ana 'I done it!' and 'I done it!' He had written these notes, never would have said 'this negro did it by hisself,' but Frank wanted it understood that the man that did it, did it by himself.
(page 81) My! My! 'That negro fireman down
here did this'.
Thusxxkxx Now, let's see how many times Jim says 'done it.' I looked
the door like he done come cold, me, I becomes the man
what was with the baby looked at me like he thought I done it, ct
him like he thought I done what that man that that Jim looked
at me like he thought I done it, ct ance and therefore between ignor-
in your office on this people that stayed on that floor and prepared
pad that come from your office, bears the marks of your diction and
Starnes and Campbell, with all the marks of your diction and
oipated that old Jim would get up there and say 'I couldn't
looked et me when we ran into each other and like that U done it'; this man
couldn't have said 'I looked on the door like this and said 'I couldn't
have said I went on and walked up to Mr.Frank and told him that
girl was one dead, he looked just like this and said sh-h-h'.
I could
that old Jim tell a reasonable Jury like this and it said 'a reasonable tele
but 'I done it' just exactly like this brilliant man over in tenant,
told him.
There's your plot.
(page 172) Jim Conley, his statement says,
'I done it', sustains Jim Conley.
(page 174) Maybe he did,in cer-
argument that if there is anything in this world a negro will do
it is to pick up the language of some man for whom he works; and while
he used that, that there are instances you can pick out in which
he used words that the white man other instances you might
showing that he used -the word -done- and -they-know it."

LEON RD HAAS, Sworn for the Movant.
I have read the brief filed by
the Solicitor General in the Supreme Court, and said brief contains
the following language: "These Letters have intrinsic marks of a
knowledge of this transaction.
First the pads were both usually
found in his office and near his office.
The language of these notes
in attempting to fasten the crime upon another has indelibly fixed
it upon himself.
The pad, the paper, the language, yes, even the
fact that the note were written, show -not that the negro com-
mitted the crime, but another."

W. CARROLL LATIMER, Sworn for the Movant.
