ware Company, where the negro was
employed. Mcknight has not been
seen around his accustomed haunts
since Saturday afternoon. when he
was closeted with Franks attorneys
for more than an hour.
I'VE have been trying to locate Nc

the affidavit" said Craven and Nor
rison. "and we can't find any trace of
him.
Not at Home Since Saturday.
Inquiry at his home, we under
stand, has elected the information
that the negro has not been seen
since Saturday. We intend to keep
on hunting for him, and when we find
him we will make him face us and
repeat the story he swore to in tina
affidavit published Sunday morning.
Mcknight was to have come to work
this morning, but did not show up"
Both Craven and Morrison Indirect
ly charged that Franks friends are
responsible for the disappearance of
the negro, and intimate that he has
been sent out OF town so they can not

story
One OF the other negroes here told
us they saw Mcknight Saturday."

ond affidavit.
Craven Denies Coercion.
81 can prove that the negro made
mis- first affidavit OF his own free viii,
and without any suggestion from me"
said Craven. "and I'm going to do it.
and then let Mcknight and Franks
attorneys prove his statements that I
coaxed him into making his state
ments that damaged Frank"

to the trial, Mcknight declared that
he saw Frank about 80 o'clock the
afternoon of the day of the murder,
and that the factory superintendent
was nervous and would not eat any
lunch
He also related several converse
lions which he asserted his wife, Mi
nola Mcknight. haw overheard in the

ser, Mcknight declared that he made
these statements under coercion and
that he did not see Frank at all on
