I mean by mechanical condition of the stomach, no change in the size or thickness, or opening into the intestines, or size or thickness of intestines. The test should be made with

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: There are idiosyncracies in a normal stomach, and where they are too marked I would not consider that a normal stomach. I wouldn't say that there is a mechanical rule where you can measure the digestive power of every stomach for every kind of food.

There is no great amount of variation between healthy stomachs. I can't answer for how long it takes cabbage to

The sections I examined were about a quarter of an inch wide and three-quarters of an inch long. It was about nine-twenty-five thousandths of an inch thick, that is, much thinner than

The State insists that no case does not constitute an extraordinary situation such as is contemplated shall exist before the Court shall set aside a solemn verdict rendered unanimously by a jury of twelve, where the verdict is approved by the trial judge and affirmed by the Supreme Court. Under the law, even if the witness referred to, namely, Miss Marie Karst, had repudiated her evidence, the Court could not grant the motion for a new trial. This affidavit of Miss Marie Karst is also supported by the affidavits of

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: As to Ground 12: The State submits that, at best, this evidence, if true, is merely cumulative. The plea of alibi constituted, as will be seen by reference to the brief of evidence filed in this case, about the only defense set up by Frank, the defendant, and numerous witnesses were introduced along that line. Among other alibi witnesses testifying to almost the same state of facts to which in this ground it is said Pardee and Green will testify, was Miss Helen Kern. Even the testimony, however, of Miss Kern, and the evidence

The State, in answer to this ground, submitsthe evidence taken by the defendant before H.D.Smith, Commissionerappointed by this Court, and also attaches hereto affidavits by MaryRich, which not only absolutely and completely refute the contentions,but which, if true, show the policy and tactics pursued by this defend-ent, Leo M. Frank and his friends in their desperation to set asidethe verdict of guilty; and further show that the motion is not made ingood faith. In no view of the facts as here presented, should a newtrial be granted. The affidavits made

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The absolute worthlessness of the evidence of Mrs. J. B.

Also affidavit of James Conley amply refutes said charge

Burtis Dalton has changed his evidence as given byhim on the trial of the original case, this is not be ground for anew trial. Said Dalton merely sustains Jim Conley. As a matter offact, Dalton's recitals were denied by one Daisy Hopkins, but DaisyHopkins was overwhelmingly impeached for general bad character, muchmore effectively than the defense impeached Dalton for general badcharacter. But in this connection, the attention of the Court iscalled to the evidence of Merck, an

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: As to Ground 16: In answer to Ground 16, the State contents itself with setting out a copy of an original affidavit given by Miss Helen Ferguson.Under no view of this case, could this state of facts referred to in Ground 16 warrant or justify any court in granting the defendant a new trial.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: As to Ground 17. The State, recognizing that the law is that a new trial could never be granted upon the mere ground that some witness sworn in a case has repudiated the evidence given on the stand, has not made any great effort to locate J. E. Duffy, the witness referred to. The law is that, before a verdict can be set aside, the witness repudiating his evidence must be convicted of the offense of perjury. The State asserts that Duffy has not only not been convicted, but that no effort whatsoever has

This is shown by affidavits of W. H. Orr, and J. L.Moore and Bass Rosser, also the affidavit of P. P. Cooper.Thus it is, that when each one of the eighteen grounds ofthis extraordinary motion are considered and measured by thestandards set up by the law of the land, each one of them isseen to amount to nothing. And unless nothing added to nothingmakes something, a proposition which the State submits is nottrue, then

But as the State believes and charges, for the purpose of protecting Leo M.
