tors of this company and myself have had a conference and
thought that the public should demand that wehave an inves-
tigation made, and endeavor to determine who is responsible
for this murder," and Mr. Frank then said he had just come
from police barracks and that Detective Black seemed to sus-
pect him of the crime, and he then related to me his move-
ments on Saturday, April 26th, in detail. He stated that he
arrived at the factory at 8 A.M., that he left the factory
between 9:30 and 10 with Mr. Darley for Montag Bros. for the
mail, that he remained at Montag Bros. for about an hour; that
he returned to the factory at about 11 o'clock, and just
before twelve o'clock, Mrs. White, the wife of Arthur White,
who was working on the top floor of the building that day
with Harry Denham, came in and asked permission to go upstairs
and see her husband. Mr. Frank granted her permission to do
so. He then stated that Mary Phagan came in to the factory
at 12:10 P.M. to draw her pay; that she had been laid off the
Monday previous and she was paid $1.20; that he paid her off
in his inside office where he was at his desk, and when she
left his office and went in the outer office, she had reached
the outer office door, leading into the hall and turned around
to Mr. Frank and asked if the metal had come yet; Mr. Frank
replied that he didn't know and that Mary Phagan then thought
reached the stairway, and he heard voices, but he could not
distinguish whether they were men's or girls talking, that about
12:30 he went up to the fourth floor and asked White and Denham
when they would finish up their work and they replied they
wouldn't finish up for a couple of hours; that Mrs. White
was up there at the time and Frank informed Mrs. White that
he was going to lock up the factory, that she had better leave;
Mrs. White preceded Mr. Frank down the stairway and went on
