C F URSENBACH, Sworn In For The Defendant, 73rd To Testify

Reading Time: 2 minutes [275 words]

C. F. URSENBACH, sworn for the Defendant.

I married a sister of Mrs. Leo Frank. I phoned him on Friday and asked him if he would go to the baseball game Saturday.

He said he didn't know, he might go and would phone me later and let me know.

On Saturday when I got home about twenty minutes to two my cook told me that Mr. Frank had phoned and told me that he wasn't going to the game.

I saw him on Sunday, after the murder, at my house.

I saw no scratches, marks or bruises on him.

He seemed to be a little disturbed in mind.

I saw him again that afternoon.

He told us about the tragedy.

That evening we met him and his wife coming down Washington street opposite the Hebrew Orphans' Home.

He gave me my rain coat right there, which he had borrowed previously.

CROSS EXAMINATION.

He and his wife and my wife and myself generally play cards Saturday evening.

We were very much interested in bridge and played together often.

Mr. and Mrs. Selig's family usually played poker Saturday night.

Mr. Frank and his wife never played poker.

I am positive I rang Mr. Frank up and asked him to go to the ball game.

Mr. Frank called it off about 1:30 on Saturday; when I got home and got the message from my cook it was twenty to two.

Mr. Frank borrowed my rain coat at 4:30 on Sunday when it was raining, and I met him about 6 o'clock on Washington Street, and he returned it.

He never had that rain coat until Sunday afternoon.

I am positive that he did not have it on Saturday.
