ALBERT MCKNIGHT, Sworn In For The State, 21st To Testify

Reading Time: 3 minutes [488 words]

ALBERT Mc Knight, sworn for the State.

My wife is Minola Mc Knight. She cooks for Mrs. Selig. Between 1

and 2 o'clock on Memorial Day I was at the home of Mr. Frank to see my

wife. He came in close to 1:30. He did not eat any dinner. He came in,

went to the sideboard of the dining room, stayed there a few minutes and

then he goes out and catches a car. Stayed there about 5 or 10 minutes.

CROSS EXAMINATION.

Mrs. Selig and Mrs. Frank were present when Mr. Frank came in. I

was in the cook room. There is a swinging door between the dining room

and the cook room. The dining room door was open. The door swings

back and forth, but they don't keep it shut. You can see from the kitchen

into the dining room. You can look in the mirror in the corner and see

all over the dining room. I looked in the mirror in the corner and saw

him. You can look in that mirror and see in the sitting room and in the

dining room. I have no idea how big the kitchen or dining room is. I

was never in the dining room in my life. I was sitting at the back door

in the kitchen, at the right side of the back door, up against the wall.

Minola went into the dining room, and stayed a minute or two, no more

than two minutes. She came back into the kitchen. I don't know

whether the other folks ate dinner or not, I did not see Mr. Selig. I came

to the house from my house in the rear of 318 Pulliam Street. After com-

ing to the sideboard Mr. Frank went into the sitting room where Mr.

Selig was. I didn't see Mr. Selig, but heard him talking. I told about

Mr. Frank not eating after I came back from Birmingham, I told it to Mr. Craven of the Beck & Gregg Company. It was before Minola went

down to the jail. Mr. Starnes, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Morse, Mr. Martin and

Mr. Dorsey all talked to me. I didn't go down to see Minola at the station

house. I didn't see Mrs. Frank or Mrs. Selig that Saturday through

the mirror. I didn't keep my eye on the mirror all the time. I couldn't

tell who was in the dining room without looking in the mirror. Mr.

Frank got there not later than 1:30. Mr. Frank came on back to Pulliam

Street and caught the Georgia Avenue car at the corner of Georgia Avenue

and Pulliam Street. I am certain that he caught the Georgia Avenue

car at Pulliam Street and Georgia Avenue.

RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.

The Selig residence is on East Georgia Avenue between Pulliam and

Washington Streets. I don't know exactly the nearest place for Mr.

Frank to have gotten on the car, Washington Street or Pulliam Street.

I suppose Pulliam Street is nearer to town than Washington. I certainly

saw Mr. Frank that day, from the kitchen where I was sitting.
