C F URSENBACH, Sworn In For The Defendant, 73rd To Testify

C. F. Ursenbach, witness for the Defendant, 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. F. Ursenbach, brother-in-law of Mrs. Leo Frank, testified:
Friday, April 25

Phoned Frank—invited to Saturday baseball game.
Frank: “Might go—will call later.”

Saturday, April 26

~1:40 p.m.: Cook relayed Frank phoned—“Not going.”

Sunday, April 27

Morning: Saw Frank at house—no scratches/marks, disturbed.
4:30 p.m.: Loaned raincoat (raining).
~6:00 p.m.: Met Frank & wife on Washington St.—returned coat.

Cross-examination

Saturday nights: Played bridge (Frank couple); Seligs poker—Franks never.
Positive: Raincoat Sunday only—not Saturday.

Ursenbach’s 1:40 “not going” call, Sunday-only raincoat, and no marks gutted State’s “blood-soaked Saturday”.
Brother-in-law’s timeline turned prosecution’s “guilty cover-up” into defense alibi.
