The Testimony of Alonzo Mann in the Leo Frank Trial, August 1913, Atlanta, Georgia
Alonzo Mann – Testimony for the Defense
I work as an office boy at the National Pencil Company. I started on April 1, 1913. My duties mostly involve sitting in the outer office or hallway. On April 26th, 1913, I left the factory at about
11:30
a.m. At that time, Miss Hall, a stenographer from Montag’s, was in the office with Mr. Frank. Mr. Frank asked me to call Mr. Schiff and tell him to come in. I called, but a girl answered and said Mr. Schiff hadn’t gotten up yet. I only called once.
In the two Saturdays before the murder, I worked at the factory until around
3:30
or
4:00
p.m., and Mr. Frank was always working during those times. I never saw him bring women into the factory or drink with anyone there. I’ve never seen a man named Dalton in the building. On April 26th, I saw Holloway, Irby, McCrary, and Darley, but not Quinn. I don’t recall seeing Corinthia Hall, Mrs. Freeman, Mrs. White, Graham, Tillander, or Wade Campbell. I left at 11:30a.m.
