DORSEY Iola Stover, will you describe for the court Mr. Leo Frank’s manner in the factory?
IOLA STOVER He’ll call my name. I’ll turn my head. He got no words to say. His eyes get big, My face gets red, And I want to run away.

GIRLS He’ll call my name I’ll turn my head He got no words to say. His eyes get big, My face gets red, And I want to run away.MONTEEN I’m in the lounge, I turn around, He passes much too close. I eat my lunch, I hear a sound,
