B B HASLETT, Sworn In For The State, 16th To Testify

B. B. Haslett, 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)
Detective B. B. Haslett and Black arrived at Frank’s home ~7:00 a.m., Monday, April 28.

Told Frank: “Chief Lanford wants to see you.”
Station house: 2–3 hours; Rosser & Haas arrived 8:30–9:00.
Frank went willingly—no resistance.

Cross-examination

Two officers: Standard procedure—voluntary or not, he was coming.
Frank unaware he had to go—no formal arrest.

Haslett’s “voluntary” pickup and lawyer arrival gutted State’s “guilty flight”.
Detective’s routine turned prosecution’s “dawn raid” into defense proof of cooperation.
