G C FEBRUARY, Sworn In For The State, 20th To Testify

G. C. February, 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)
G. C. February, Chief Lanford’s private secretary, stenographed Frank’s April 28 statement at police headquarters (Exhibit B, State).

Rosser present—stared out window, silent.
Black joined later.
Frank: Showed shirt, opened trousers—no stains.

Cross-examination

Never court stenographer (only Recorder’s court).
Typed longhand same day—time uncertain.

February’s “silent Rosser” and “clean clothes” gutted State’s “guilty panic”.
No lawyer input, no blood—defense flipped into cooperative innocence.
