C. J. Maynard, witness for the State 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)**

C. J. Maynard testified that in **June or July 1912**, between 1:30 and 2:00 p.m. on a Saturday**, he saw prosecution witness **Burtus Dalton** enter the National Pencil Company factory with a woman weighing approximately **125 pounds**.

On **cross-examination**, Maynard admitted he was **ten feet away**, did **not observe the woman closely**, and **did not speak to either person**. This brief, vague testimony was offered to support Dalton’s earlier claim that he had visited the factory with women on weekends, implying Frank’s knowledge or tolerance of such activity—though Maynard could provide no identifying details about the woman or confirm Frank’s presence.
