Julian Loeb, 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)
Julian Loeb, cousin of Mrs. Frank and resident at 380 Washington Street (opposite the Wolfsheimer home), testified that on April 26 he saw Leo Frank in front of the Wolfsheimers between 1:50 and 2:00 p.m.

Frank was talking to Mrs. and Mr. Jerome Michael, inviting them to the B’nai B’rith lodge meeting the next day (Sunday).
Frank, lodge president, left on foot up Washington Street toward Glenn—not by car.
Loeb did not see him board a streetcar.

Loeb’s precise residential sighting—1:50–2:00 p.m.—placed Frank blocks from the factory, calmly conducting lodge business with two witnesses, during the State’s alleged murder window.
A family neighbor’s clock-checked stroll became another unshakable link in the defense’s ironclad afternoon timeline.
