Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

cloudy most of the day. It was dark there around the elevator
on the first floor and we had big heavy boxes piled up there.
One of them must have been almost as large as a piano box. If
a man got between those boxes, we would have had to hunt to
find him. It is very dark on the second floor between the
clock and the metal room. It is dark behind the ladies dress-
ing room and on the side next to the ladies toilet. As you go
to the stairs from the metal room, it is very dark. A person
sitting at Mr. Frank's desk in his office could not see anyone
coming up those stairs. It would be impossible to see anyone

metal room contains three or four large vats that have got lids

are about a foot and a half deep. Nobody is supposed to be in
any part of the building on Sunday, that is the only time we
don't have a watchman. The factory is supposed to be locked up
entirely. The elevator steel cables have some slack in them.
It isn't like a stiff iron in there. It would shake when you
catch hold of it. There are two cables, you pull the right one
to come down and the left one to go up. You can catch it and
shake it in your hand. Yes, Mr. Frank is a small, thin man,
about 125 or 130 pounds. Yes, Mr. Dorsey served a subpoena
on me to come down to his office. I didn't know that he did
58 subpoenaed to come into court. They served two subpoenas on
