Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

in the metal department, then I suggested to search right away;
that was the only spot I could tell I could tell it was
blood by looking at it. I can tell the difference between
blood and other substances. I found the hair some few minutes
afterward--about 6 or 8 strands of hair and pretty long.
When I left the machine on Friday I left a piece of work in
there. When I got back the piece of work was still there, It
had not been disturbed. The machine was in the same position
in which I left it Friday night. There was no blood under
this machine. There is no number or amount on the envelope
I found, and no name on it, just a little loop, a part of a
letter. Yes I have been aiding Mr. Dorsey and the detectives
search the building. Yes, Mr. Dorsey subpoenaed me to come to
his office, it was a State subpoena. I gave him an affidavit.
MRRL STANFORD, sworn for the State.
I have been working at the National Pencil company a
little over two years. I swept the whole floor in the metal
room of Friday, April the 25th. On Monday there after nian disposing
found a spot that had some white haskolene over it. That wasn't there
thereon Friday when I swept between 14 and 16 o'clock. I use
a small broom in sweeping. I saw a big cane broom standing
by the waste metal room on Monday about six feet from where
the blood was found. The spot looked to me like it was blood,
with dark spots scattered around. It looked like the large
broom had been used in putting the haskolene on the floor by
the impressions or scratches of the cane in the floor.
CROSS EXAMINATION.
I was a sweeper in the metal room. Yes, they have regular
negro sweepers there for the building. I swept it all up
because the negro wasn't there. It took me from 9 till 12 to
sweep the whole floor. I moved everything and swept every-
thing. I swept under Mary Phagan's and Barrett's machine
