Here is the extracted text from the image:

incidents at the Pencil Factory, wherein Conley, after having made
the third affidavit, purported to re-enact the occurrence of the
murder between himself and Frank, wherein the body of Mary Phagan
was taken from the office floor to the cellar of the factory,
the testimony permitted by the Court being substantially as follows:
"I will have to give you the time of Conley's arrival at the
Factory approximately. I was up there at twelve o'clock, and I
was a few minutes late. Conley had not arrived there then. We
waited until they brought him there, which was probably ten or
fifteen minutes later. The officers brought Conley into the
main entrance of the factory here and to the stair case--I don't
know where the stair case is here--yes, here it is (indicating on
diagram) and they carried him up here and told him what he was
thereof, and questioned him, and made him understand that he was
to re-enact the pantomime. After a few minutes conversation,
and a very brief conversation, Conley led the officers back here
and turned off to his left to a place back here; I guess this is
it (indicating on diagram), right where this is near some toilets
and he was telling his story as he went through there, and he said
when he got up there, he went back and found the body in that
place. He was talking constantly--all the time practically. I don't know how
he made out a part of his story. Well, when he got back--After
reaching this point at the rear left side of the factory, describ-
ing the position of the body, as he stated it, he stated the head
was lying towards the North and the feet towards the South, as
indicated, and there was a cord around the neck. He didn't state
how long it took for the various movements. I didn't time it; I
know the time I arrived there and the time I left the factory. Con-
ley said when he found the body, he came up to Mr. Frank--called
to him some point along here I should judge (indicating on the
diagram). I don't understand this diagram exactly. And he
told him the girl was dead, and I don't know just exactly what
Frank said. I will try to eliminate as much of that conversation
as I can. Anyhow, he said he came on up where Mr. Frank was
and he was instructed to go to the cotton room, which he
showed us; I don't know, it must be on the same side of the
building about here. I Judge (indicating), and he went in there.
