Because the Court erred in failing to charge the jury, in reference to the witness, Jim Conley, that if the witness willfully and knowingly swore falsely as to a material matter, his testimony ought to be disregarded entirely, unless corroborated by the circumstances, or the testimony of other unimpeached witnesses.The Court erred in failing to charge the jury that, if they believed from the evidence, that Conley watched for Frank,

(Mr. Rosser here read that portion of the cross examination of the witness Rogers, stating that when Frank left the door of the undertaking room, he went out of view.)Mr. Dorsey: Well, that's cross examination, ain't it?Mr. Rosser: Yes, but I presume you would tell the truth on cross examination, I don't know; he passed out of his view, he didn't say he went into a room.Mr. Dorsey: Correct me if I'm wrong. Boots Rogers said

The Court permitted this and other like testimony to be introduced as tending to discredit their statements that the car was on schedule time that day. In doing this the Court erred, for the fact that the English Avenue car was ahead of time as much as four minutes on other days did not indicate that it was ahead of time on the day of the murder.89. Because the Court erred, over the objection of the defendant that the same was irrelevant and immaterial and prejudicial to

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: illegal and prejudicial to the defendant, permitted the solicitor-general to ask the following questions, and the witness, Mrs. Mary E. Wallace, to make the following answers:Q. I will ask you now if you are acquainted with his general character for lasciviousness; that is, as to his (Frank's) attitude towards girls and women?A. Yes, sir.Q. Is that good or bad?A. Bad.The Court admitted the above questions and answers, over the objection of the defendant as above stated, and thereby erred, for the reasons stated.87.

All right, she said, not very much.The Court admitted the above questions and answers, over the objection of defendant as above stated, and thereby erred, for the reasons stated.83. Because the Court, over the objection of the defendant, made at the time the evidence was offered, that the same was immaterial, incompetent, illegal and prejudicial to the defendant, permitted the solicitor-general to ask the following questions, and the witness, Miss Marie Carst, to make his (Frank's) general character for lasciviousness;

The Court overruled these objections and let the testimony go to the jury; and in doing so, movant contends, erred for the reasons above stated.79. Because the Court permitted the witness, Harlee Branch, at the instance of the solicitor-general, to testify to incidents at the pencil factory, wherein Conley, after having made the third affidavit, purported to re-enact the occurrence of the murder between himself and

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: This address of the solicitor was made in the hearing, and in the presence of the jury, without any protest or comment on the part of the Court.The defendant made no objection to this argument at the time same was being had, for the reason that similar argument made by Mr. Hooper had been objected to by counsel, and their objection overruled. The objection made to the argument of Mr. Hooper was not here repeated, for the reason that the Court had stated, in the outset of the case, that objection once noted in

Because the Court erred in permitting Mr. Hooper, for the State, to argue to the jury that the failure of the defense to cross-examine the female witnesses who, in behalf of the State, had testified to the bad character of Frank for lasciviousness, was strong evidence of the fact that, if the defendant had cross-examined them, they would have testified to individual incidents of immorality on the part of Frank; that the defendant's knowledge that

When the verdict of guilty was rendered, the fact of the rendition of such verdict was signaled to the crowd on the outside, which consisted of a large concourse and crowd of people standing upon Hunter and Pryor Streets. Immediately upon receiving such signal and while the court was engaged in polling the jury and before the polling ended, great shouts arose from the people on the outside, expressing gratification. Great applauding, shouting and halloing was heard on the streets

The Court gave no relief except directing the sheriff to find out who was making the noise.(c) During the examination by Mr. Arnold, counsel for the defendant, of V. H. Kreighaber, a witness for the defense, there was laughter in the audience sufficiently generally distributed throughout the audience and loud enough to interfere with the examination. Mr. Arnold called the Court's attention to the interruption for the purpose of obtaining some action from the Court thereon.The Court stated that if

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The Court paid no further attention to this applause than to ask, "What is the matter with you over there?"In failing to grant the mistrial requested, the Court erred. The motion, taken in connection with the admitted and proven facts, movant contends, clearly show that the defendant was not having a fair trial by reason of the great excitement of the crowd. The court room was in an exceedingly small building, on the ground floor, and was crowded during the whole of the trial and defendant contends that this prejudice and animosity of the

Because the Court refused to give the following pertinent legal charge in the language requested:"The jury are instructed that if under the evidence they believe the theory that another person committed this crime is just as reasonable and just as likely to have occurred as the theory that the defendant committed the crime, that then the evidence would not in a legal sense have excluded every other reasonable hypothesis than that of the prisoner's guilt and you should acquit him."This request was submitted in writing and was handed to the Court before the

McWorth told me in person when I returned."The Court permitted this testimony over the defendant's objections, as above stated, and in doing so committed error.

I have compared my watch with Mathis' watch prior to April 26th. There was at times a difference of from 20 to 30 or 40 seconds. We were both supposed to carry the right time. When I came in with my watch with Mathis' I suspect mine was correct,

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The Court permitted this testimony to go to the jury over the objections above stated and in doing so committed error for the reasons stated. Movant contends that this was prejudicial to the defendant because it was a material matter to determine at what time his car got to Marietta and Broad streets on the day of the murder, and it confused and misled the jury to hear testimony as to when he got there upon days other than the day of the murder.51. Because the Court permitted the witness J. C. McEwen, at

This row between the doctors stated is utterly-immaterial and irrelevant and was harmful to the defendant because it tended to discredit the testimony of Dr. Westmoreland who resigned from the Board and to sustain the testimony of Dr. Harris, who remained as Secretary of the Board after Dr. Westmoreland's resignation.49.
