She was lying on her face with her hands folded up. Her face was turned somewhat toward the left wall. A bruise on the left side of her head, some dry blood in her hair. One of her eyes were blackened. There were several little scratches on her face. Somebody worked her arms to see if they were stiff. The arms worked a little bit. The joints in her arms worked just a little bit. When we first went down the basement we stayed down there about 20 or 25 minutes. During that time neither the shoe, the hat, nor the umbrella had been found. In the elevator shaft there was some excrement. When we went down on the elevator, the elevator mashed it. You could smell it all around. It looked like the ordinary healthy men's excrement. It looked like somebody had done naturally; that was before the elevator came down. When the elevator came down afterwards it smashed it and you smelled it. As to the hair of the girl any one could tell at first glance that it was that of a white girl.

RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.
The body wasn't lying at the undertakers where it could have been seen from the door.

RE-CROSS EXAMINATION.
At the moment the face was turned towards me, I didn't see Mr. Frank but I know a person couldn't have looked into the faceless he was somewhere close to me. I was inside and Mr. Frank never came into that little room.
