I didn't say it was liquid. The blood was dry. The little trail where I thought showed the body was dragged went straight on down where the girl was found. It was a

It was in her hair and it was a little moist. This scratch pad (State's Exhibit "H") was also lying on the ground, close to the body.

Anybody could come right in from the street and go all over the factory without Mr. Frank in his office knowing anything about it. The doors are never closed at all. That is

Mr. Ghesling had a better view of Mr. Black and Mr. Frank than I did, because my back was to them and Mr. Ghesling was looking straight across the body at them. Mr. Frank had no difficulty in unlocking the safe when we went back to the factory. The elevator we went down on is a freight elevator, makes considerable noise. It stops itself when it gets to the bottom. I don't think it hits the ground.

Mr.-Frank was apparently still nervous at the under- taking establishment, he stepped lively. He was just his general manner that indicated to me that he was nervous.
