Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The State insists that this Fifth amendment does not containa single extraordinary situation such as is contemplated by lawshould exist before the solemn adjudication of a court and juryshould be set aside. However, the State denies the truth of eachand all of the contentions as set out in this Fifth amendment,and says that the manner in which the same is shown to havebeen obtained, together with the length of time elapsing sincethe murder, all go to show that the claims are false.Wherefore, the State submits that under no circumstancesshould a new trial be awarded

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: evidence shows that said Holloway was thoroughly in sympathy with the defendant, and hence the State insists that the affidavit of said Georgia Denham is shown by the record, through the mouth of Holloway, who was really in sympathy with the defendant, to be false. As a matter of fact, the State says that there was never any blood on said Conley's shirt. If there had been, said Georgia Denham would have immediately, being herself an employee of the Pencil Company's factory, have made such fact known.Referring to the contention by the defendant Frank

Extraordinary Motion for New( ). Trial.State of Georgia, responding to the fifth amendment to the extraordinary motion for new trial, as allowed on May 1, 1914, says:1. With reference to the alleged newly discovered evidence disclosed in affidavit of Georgia Denham, the State says:The contention of the State was that Conley had assisted Leo M. Frank in removing the body. Even if it should be conceded that the said Conley had blood on

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: this court a judgment overruling and denying this application for a new trial, because the State insists that if the transaction referred to in this amendment was true of belief, there would be no occasion or necessity for the said Annie Maud Carter to be spirited away and beyond the jurisdiction of the Court, as the State is informed and believes said Annie Maud Carter to be, and rendered inaccessible to the officers.That the contention of the movant, Leo M. Frank, is false is furthermore shown by a statement in the part of the

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: whose presence was not requested or desired; that among those visitors was one whom this Respondent has every reason to believe was working in the interest of the defendant; that this party presented Respondent with sandwiches which this Respondent did not eat, that this same party also offered to present Respondent with whiskey; that Deponent was threatened with physical harm while in the County prison to the extent of the possibility of taking his life; that he was denounced as a liar, relative to his testimony in this case; and this Respondent is sure

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: said paper, which was introduced on the trial of the originalcase, said Conley said, responding to said rule:"11. Respondent shows that through no fault of the CountySheriff, a sufficient inside force of guards has been providedby the County Authorities, only one man being paid by theCounty to guard twenty cell blocks distributed in twenty wingsand over five floors; that it is a physical impossibility forthis one man to keep up or even know what is transpiring on fivedifferent floors, or twenty separate immense wall and steelblocks, distributed through a large building; that with thisinadequate

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: mother, Mrs. Mary Barrett. If Mrs. Maud Failey and Mrs. May Barrett, who was an employee of the pencil factory at the time this thing occurred, really knew what she now would have this court believe that she does know, then one can deliberately making misstatements as to her knowledge. But as the State believes and charges, for the purpose of protecting Leo M. Frank, who saw the importance of keeping the officers ignorant that Jim Conley was where he said he was, and where the State insists he was.The state submits that the

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: and believes, being pursued and followed in reference to other matters in connection with this extraordinary motion for new trial in behalf of the defendant, Leo M. Frank. The State will be able to show that this transaction is in keeping with other similar transactions, viz, the Wincey incident and the Fisher incident, not to mention other transaction in the course of this case of less importance. Hence the State submits that under no circumstances should a new trial be granted by reason of these perjured affidavits.3. A third amendment embodies a claim on

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: the case of the State Vs. Leo M. Frank. As a matter of fact, the said Conley could have assisted the said Leo M. Frank in the disposition of the body of Mary Phagan, as testified to, and have been seen by the said Boozer. In other words, the testimony of the said Boozer, even if true, a thing that the State denies, is with reference to immaterial matter.2. State of Georgia, answering the second amendment says that C. B. Ragadale has repudiated this affidavit, and insists that he was procured to swear to

Trial.GEORGIA, FULTON COUNTY.State of Georgia, answering the several amendments to theextraordinary motion for a new trial, as filed by movant, Leo M.Frank, and taking them up in the order in which they werepresented to the Court, says:1. As to the amendment claiming that J. W. Boozer, on theafternoon of April 26, 1913, at about 4:15 o'clock met Jim Conleyon Peters street near Castleberry street; The State says that,in

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Answer Ground 18, the State contents itself with showing thegeneral bad character of the witness referred to, viz. Mrs.W. Jaffe. 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

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

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 the 15th Ground, while submitting that the same does not constitute an extraordinary case, even if true, the State says that this ground, among other grounds, in view of the facts as shown by the affidavit of Ivy Jones, which will be set out and shown to the Court, shows the methods being pursued and the lack of good faith on the part of movent, and shows conclusively that the motion for a new trial was not a bona fide motion filed upon newly discovered evidence, but was merely a motion for

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: As to Ground 14-1/2. With reference to this ground of the motion, the State submits affidavits of J. W. Gantt Also affidavits of Philip Chambers, As a matter of fact, no one could possibly tell what the number of the order was on the order blank used in this case. The State submits that the number, as developed under a colored photographic lens, is not 1618, as contended by the defendant, but is 1618, as shown by the affidavit of the photographer who took the picture, and the only picture which have been taken

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: In reply to Ground 14, the State says that, even if it be truethat the said C. 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: The absolute worthlessness of the evidence of Mrs. J. B. Simmons, as referred to in Ground 13 of the extraordinary motion, has been duly disposed of in replying to the ground dedicated alone to a discussion of the evidence of the said Mrs. Simmons. Also affidavit of James Conley amply refutes said charge

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The defendant has not stated frankly at this time why he is soanxious to procure this evidence from Mary Rich.Also the State, in response to this ground, submits an affidavitof F. J. Welborn, a copy of which is on file.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: As to Ground 13. 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: changed these statements on the trial, and said, as will be seen by reference to page 3201 of the stenographer's report; "I continued on up Forsyth street to Alabama and down Alabama to Whitehall, where I waited a few minutes for a car, and after a few minutes a Georgia Avenue car came along," etc. There was good reason for the change; first, Whitehall street was a more popular thoroughfare; the corner of Whitehall and Alabama Sts., is one of the most congested streets in the City; more people by far catc h cars

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: on this extraordinary motion, says however, that it is nothing, butright and proper that the Court should be informed as to what Frankhimself said in the evidence on the hearing before the Coroner, as towhere he was at the time Pardee and Green now say they saw him at thecorner of Alabama and Whitehall Streets. On page 55 of the stenogra-pher's minutes of the Coroner's inquest, as reported by Harvey L.Barry, Official Reporter of Fulton Superior Court at that time, and asfiled, as required by law, in the Clerk's Office of the Superior Courtof

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

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: As to Ground 11. 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: To Ground 10, as a full and complete answer, in view of the law obtaining with reference to such matters, the State submits that the affidavit of Mrs. Mamie Edmunds, nee Miss Mamie Kitchens, is a full and complete answer to the allegations of Ground 10. Gold affidavit of Mrs. Mamie Edmunds, nee Miss Mamie Kitchens, is as follows:

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Also with reference to Ground 9, the State respectfully refers the Court to the affidavit of Mrs. Carrie Smith, and the affidavit of Mrs. Nash, nee Griffin, flled with reference to Ground 8.With reference to this Ground 9, as is insisted by the State with reference to all of the grounds contained in this motion, it is submitted that the same does not present extraordinary situations such as are contemplated by the law, and could not possibly, in any view of the case, be reasonably expected to produce a different result to that which

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Answering Ground 9 of the so-called extraordinary motion of thedefendant, Leo M. Frank, the State submits, as a full and completerefutation to the said ground, even if it were otherwise sufficientin law to warrant the setting aside of the verdict of guilty, as ren-dered, the affidavit of Miss Ruth Robertson, a copy of which isannexed hereto annexed. This said affidavit is supported by theaffidavit of her father, W. T. Robertson, a copy of which is

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Also, the affidavit given by Mrs. Maggie May, nee Griffin.These affidavits establish the falsity of the claims as containedin Ground 8, and show in a measure the tactics pursued by this defend-ent in his effort to overturn the verdict of guilty.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The State, answering Ground 8, submits that, under the law, the fact that Dewey Hewell has changed, if such be the fact, her evidence as given on the trial of Leo M. Frank, would not be a ground for granting this extraordinary motion. In addition to the evidence given by Dewey Hewell, showing that Leo M. Frank personally knew Mary Phagan, the deceased, the State introduces the evidence of J. M. Gantt, book-keeper, who swore that Leo M. Frank remarked to him that he seemed to know Mary pretty well. The State also introduced

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The State submits, with reference to Ground 7, that the same is wholly insufficient; the evidence set out as having been given by Mrs. Ethel Harris Miller and MR. L. LEPOFF being merely cumulative evidence; the question of alibi having been mainly relied upon by the defendant, Leo M. Frank, in the trial in which he was convicted of the offense of murder.The State is informed and believes that these witnesses are non-residents of the City of Atlanta, and nothing is known as to their character, reputation, standing, associations or connections.The State is informed

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The evidence as to the general character of this witness, is sufficient answer to the charge that the State did not introduce her, even if there had not been, as there are other reasons set out,94

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: 6. Referring to ground 6 with reference to the newly discovered evidence of Mrs. J. B. Simmons, the State shows, that this constitutes no satisfactory ground for a new trial, because first, this evidence could not have been produced and would not have been produced a different result in view of the overwhelming and preponderance of the evidence that this girl was dead not later than one-thirty o'clock, and could not have screamed at the time and place referred to by Mrs. Simmons. Second, the said Mrs. Simmons is shown by the following affidavits

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The State submits that Albert McKnight has told the absolute truth, and that no new trial could possibly, under the rules of law as laid down by the Courts, be granted under the showing made in ground 5 of this motion. The State submits that Albert McKnight could not truthfully change the evidence given on the trial, and would not do so, and that he never would have made the false affidavit referred to in ground 5 except for the improper influences shown to have been exerted on him by agents and representatives of

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Also the State submits as a complete answer, the affidavit ofAngus Morrison, andAlso affidavit of R. L. Craven.Also the State submits affidavit of H. B. Pickett.Also the State submits the affidavit of W. W. Boyd taken onApril 22nd, 1914.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: 5. Replying to paragraph 5 of the extraordinary motion, the State, for answer, submits the following as being a complete answer and reason why no extraordinary motion under the law should be granted on this ground, The State herewith sets out an affidavit obtained of Albert McKnight on the 21st day of April, 1914, and also one obtained on the 16th day of April, 1914, which are as follows:

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: GROUND 4.With reference to this GROUND, the same objection is urged against the granting of a new trial, as heretofore referred to.We submit that if a verdict rendered after a trial lasting approximately thirty days, where evidence was introduced covering, as shown by the stenographer's report, seven large volumes, and 3,647 pages of legal cap paper, a voluminous record, can be upset, - where the same has been rendered by a unanimous verdict of the jury, as shown by the affidavits from all of the jurors as attached to the motion for a new

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: GROUND 3.In answering Ground 3, the State attaches a copy of an affidavit executed by Mrs. Cora Rich, which in itself amply disproves the contention of the defendant. The statements with reference to diligence in respect to this subject matter, as set forth in response to Grounds 1 and 2 in this answer, are also likewise applicable to Ground 3.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: State, that Magnolia Kennedy, the defendant's witness, saw thehair, they failed to ask any question,with reference to theidentity of this hair, and the State could with much more showof plausibility contend that because counsel for Frank did notask their witness this question when they knew, or ought to haveknown by diligent inquiry, that she could probably identify thehair as being that of Mary Phagan, that said attorneys for Frankwere suppressing material evidence, than can said attorneys, asthey have done in the first ground of this motion, assert thatthe State was suppressing material evidence, when

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: For one illustration of such a statement on the part of Frank's attorney aforesaid, see p. 2932 of the stenographer's report of the evidence, where he said: I have asked Miss White, a witness for the defendant, whether, inasmuch as you worked on that floor, I am going to ask you a question. Have you ever been to Mr. Frank's office after hours when anything wrong or immoral was done of any sort?For another illustration, see p. 2934 of the report, where the witness, Mr the defendant, Miss Corinthia Hall, was asked: "Now, I

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The said Harris was sworn, as the record shows, long after counsel for the defense had cross-examined Miss Grace Hicks, as shown by the record, and the State submits that the record itself shows that counsel for the defense are shown by this record to have been lacking in diligence in reference to the subject matter involved in Ground 1.GROUND 2.The State contends that the record of questions and answers given under Ground 1 and the other evidence contained in the brief of evidence approved by the court when the motion for a new

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The attorneys for the defendant, under the law, propoundedin this case certain questions to Dr. H. F. Harris, sworn by theState on the trial of this case, said Harris not having beenasked either by the State or the defendant any question withreference to the hair. Said Harris, before D. O. Smith, Com-missioner duly appointed to take his evidence in answer to ques-tions propounded by defendant's attorneys, testified substantiallyas follows, viz: "I am state health officer and director oflaboratories of the State Board of Health. I made two examina-tions of the body of Mary Phagan.
