Wednesday, 13th August 1913: Three Witnesses Make Denial Of Albert Mcknights Story, The Atlanta Constitution

Charles Bernhart, a local business man, was put on the stand to testify of an examination he had made of the Selig home relative to the line of vision from the kitchen into the dining room, in an effort to refute the testimony of Albert Mc Knight, who testified several days ago that he had stood in the kitchen on the day of the tragedy and had seen Frank enter the dining room, take something from the sideboard and leave the house without eating dinner.

He displayed blue prints and declared that it was impossible to see the dining room from the position in which the negro had testified. He was borne out in this statement by Henry Wood, a contractor, and Julius Fischer, a well-known business man, both of whom said that but very little of the dining room could be seen from any part of the kitchen. All three of these tests were made Tuesday morning at the request of the defense.
