that you stayed there? A. I reckon so; I don't know how long
exactly it was.

Q. Then the lady came down? A. No sir. Mr. Frank says: "I'll
stamp after this lady comes, and you go and close the door and turn
that right latch"

Q. That was the first time he ever told you about the night lock?
A. Yes sir.

Q. The other times, he told you just to close it?
A. Yes sir.

Q. But that time he told you to put the night lock on? A. Yes sir,
and he says: "I'll stamp, and if everything is all right, you take
and kick against the door"

Q. And that time you kicked against the door? A. Yes sir, I kicked
on the door.

Q. You didn't kick against the door the other times?
A. No sir, because the ladies always went upstairs-----

Q. Well, she went up then, too, didn't she? A. Yes sir.

Q. But he told you to stamp and everything would be all right?
A. No sir, he didn't tell me to stamp and everything would be
all right, he didn't say that. If I and he would stamp, and for
me to kick the elevator door if he would be all right.

Q. And then you stayed an hour and a half that time?
A. Yes sir.

Q. Then the lady came down? A. No sir, Mr. Frank come down-----

Q. He left the lady up there? A. No sir, Mr. Frank come down to
the two doors and unlocked the doors and went on-----come back
and says: "Everything all right?" I says: "Yes sir", He went to
the front door and fixed it himself, unlocked the front door
himself, he went and looked up the street like that (illustrat-
ing) and come to the steps and taken the knob and turned it,
there at the head of the stair door, and told her to "come on"
