D. J. Nix, witness for the Defendant in rebuttal, at the Trial of Leo Frank in the Fulton County Superior Court of Atlanta, Georgia, in 1913 (Testimony Portion From July 28 – August 21, 1913; Closing Arguments August 21-25, 1913)
D. J. Nix, 19-year-old office boy from April to October 1912, delivered a bullet-proof Saturday log that torched the State’s “immoral afternoons” fantasy.

Every other Saturday (summer): stayed until 4:006:00 p.m.
Every Saturday after Sept 1: stayed until 5:306:00 p.m.
Never missed a day—100 % attendance.
Sat in the outer office, 10 feet from Frank.
Frank + Schiff always buried in ledgers.
Zero women, zero drinking, zero alley parades.

On cross, Nix stood unshaken:

Summer: every other Saturday full shift.
Fall: every single Saturday until October.
No women, no back-door romps, no exceptions.

Nix’s six-month, 26-Saturday vigil turned Dalton’s “women every weekend” into ghost stories.
A teenage gatekeeper who never left early proved the fourth floor was paperwork, not passion.
