This is the seventeenth Chapter in the 22-part series of 'Leo Frank Case: Inside Story Of Georgia's Greatest Murder Mystery'.

On Wednesday, the fifteenth day of the trial, Frank's character regarding his alleged sexual misdemeanor was put in issue, defied by the state to produce witnesses who would put a blot on his character.

Judge Roan reversed his ruling striking from Conley's testimony regarding his boss engaging in sexual perversion and having watched for Frank on previous occasions.

Solicitor Dorsey was applauded at his victory, but Attorney Arnold made a motion to clear the court room, which was overruled. Judge Roan held that all of Conley's testimony would remain in the records, giving Solicitor Dorsey the opportunity to bring in witnesses to corroborate this part of the negro's story.

C. B. Dalton, a carpenter, admitted going to the factory with Daisy Hopkins and swore to have seen women in Frank's private office. The defense immediately opened their case, focusing on Dr. Harris' testimony, Dr. Leroy Childs, Harry Scott, Pinkerton detective, and George Epps.

On Friday, the eighth day of the trial, Daisy Hopkins contradicted the testimony of Dalton and James Conley, and introduced a cardboard model of the pencil factory to illustrate the testimony of witnesses. The defense also introduced blue prints of every floor of the pencil factory and used experts to refute incriminating testimony given by the state.

The second week of the trial closed with Herbert Schiff, Frank's young office assistant, on the witness stand. He declared that it was Frank's custom to make out the financial statement every Saturday afternoon and that the work could not have been completed in less than two to three hours. On Monday, August 11th, the defense renewed their attack on Dr. Harris' testimony, introducing several witnesses who swore they would not believe C. B. Dalton on oath.

Hear about the testimonies of the alibis and eye witnesses such as college professors, coworkers and former classmates as they are brought before the judge and jurors by Leo Frank's legal defense team to affirm and swear by the defendant's great moral character and virtue.
