MINOLA McKNIGHT (c) Sworn for the defendant:
I work for Mrs. Selig. I cook for her. Mr. and Mrs. Frank live with Mr. and Mrs. Selig. His wife is Mrs. Selig's daughter. I cooked breakfast for the family on April 26th. Mr. Frank finished his breakfast a little after eleven o'clock. Mr. Frank came to dinner about 20 minutes after one o'clock. That was not the dinner hour, but Mrs. Frank and Mrs. Selig were going off to the two o'clock car. They were already eating when Mr. Frank came in. My husband, Albert McKnight, wasn't in the kitchen that day between one and two o'clock at all. Standing at the kitchen door you cannot see the mirror in the dining room. If you move up to the north end where you can see the kitchen mirror, you can't see the dining room table. My husband wasn't there all that day. Mr. Frank left that day sometime after after two o'clock. I next saw him at half past six at supper. I left about eight o'clock. Mrs. Frank was still at home when I left. He took supper with the rest of the family. "After this happened the detectives came out and arrested me and took me to Mr. Dorsey's office, where Mr. Dorsey, my husband and another man were there. I was working at the Selig's when they came and got me. They tried to get me to say that Mr. Frank would not allow his wife to sleep that night and that he told her to get up and get his gun and let him kill himself, and that he made her get out of bed. They had my husband there to bulldose me, claiming that I had told him that. I had never told him anything of the kind. I told them right there in Mr. Dorsey's office that it was a lie. Then they carried me down to the stationhouse in the patrol wagon. They came to me for another statement about half past eleven or twelve o'clock that night
