Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

ing. Anybody could have walked from the fourth floor to
the second floor all day long; there was no obstruction. A
man at the stairway on the third floor can see the second
floor in front of the clock. The front doors were unlocked
all the morning and they were still unlocked when I left.
When Mr. Denham and Mr. White asked me to saw some timber for
them that morning, I went and got the key and unlocked the
motor that runs the elevator. I left it unlocked after that.
Anybody could have started the elevator running then by throw-
ing in the switch. I am familiar with the floor back there
in the metal department. It is a very dirty, greasy, stained
up floor—there isn't a worse one in town. Whenever you walk
along there you will fall down if you are not very particular.
The floor has never been washed the three years that I have
been there. You see the anilines and white stuff scattered
all over the floor every day and the sweepers just sweep it
along together. You see spots on the floor quite frequently.
We work about 100 girls in the factory. Four or five of them
work in the metal room. There is a lady's dressing room right
there where they chipped up the spots, and right across
from there is the toilet, not over six feet from it. I have
seen blood spots frequently ever since I have been working
there around the ladies' toilets and the ladies' dressing rooms;
the foreladies would always tell me about it and I have often
noticed it when we were working or sweeping or anything of the
kind, and I would know what it meant. I would go back and have
it cleaned. These spots that Barrett claims to have found I
don't recall having noticed before; they would not have attracted
my attention. They were right on the way to the ladies' dressing
room. Yes, this man Barrett discovered mighty near everything
