He noted that several signers of that report remain in the Senate.

Blood Spots and Hair Found Tied to Frank Murder Case
In Atlanta on July 31 the state presented new evidence in Leo Frank's murder trial. Machinist R P Barrett testified he found blood spots on the metal room floor and hair on a lathe handle at the factory where Mary Phagan worked.

He described blood spots appearing the day after the body was found and an attempt to cover them with a white substance using a broom. Barrett swore the spots were not present on April 25, the day before the alleged murder. Barrett's testimony aimed to place the crime in the metal room. Miss Manteen Stover testified she visited Frank's office for pay at 12 05 and saw no one during a five minute wait. Defense cross examination followed before adjournment for lunch.
