J L BEAVERS, Sworn In For The State, 24th To Testify

J. L. Beavers, witness for the State, 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)
Atlanta Chief of Police J. L. Beavers visited the National Pencil Company on Monday or Tuesday, April 28–29.

Office floor, near dressing room: Quarter-sized splotch + scattered spots—“looked like blood”.

Cross-examination

Uncertain day.
“I don’t know whether it was blood or not. It looked like blood.”

Beavers’s “maybe-Monday, maybe-blood” gutted the State’s “fresh crime scene”.
No confirmation, no timeline—Chief’s hunch became defense dynamite.
