from Mary Phagan's home. I have known her about a year. The
last time I saw her was Saturday morning going to town on the
English Avenue car. It was about ten minutes to twelve when I
first saw her. I left her about seven minutes after twelve at
the corner of Forsyth and Marietta Street. She had on that hat,
transfer and things when I left her. She was going to the pencil
factory to draw her money. She said she was going to see the
parade at Elkin-Watson's at two o'clock. She never showed up.
I stayed around there until four o'clock and then I went to
the ball game. When I left her at the corner of Forsyth and
Marietta, I went under the bridge to get papers and she went
over the bridge to the pencil factory, down Forsyth Street. I
sat with Mary-on the car.

CROSS EXAMINATION.

I know what time it was when I met Mary because I looked
at Bryant and Kelsley's clock, at the corner of Oliver and Bell-
wood, where I caught the car. She caught the car at Oliver and
Lindsey and I caught the car at Oliver and Bell Street. She
got on before I did, just one block before. I didn't say
anything before the Coroner's jury about seeing a clock there,
but I did see one. I know it was about seven minutes after
twelve when I got off at Marietta Street because I can tell by
the sun. I lived in the country and when I got off I looked
at the sun. Mary got off the street car with me. No, she didn't
ride on to Hunter Street, I am sure of that. She walked on down
to the pencil factory on the right-hand side of Forsyth Street.
