down, and he says, "Well, that one you say didn't come back
down, she come into my office awhile ago and wanted to know
something about her work in my office, and I went back there to
see if the little girl's work had come, and I wanted to be with
the little girl, and she refused me, and I guess I struck her,
too hard and she fell and hit her head against something, and
I don't know how bad she got hurt, of course you know I ain't
built like other men." The reason he said that was, I have seen
him in a position I haven't seen any other man that has got
children. I have seen him in the office two or three times be-
fore Thanksgiving and a lady was in his office, and she
was sitting down in a chair, and she had her clothes up to
here, and he was down on his knees, and she had her hands on
Mr. Frank. I have seen him another time there in the packing
room with a young lady lying on the table, she was on the edge
of the table when I saw her. He asked me if I wouldn't go back
there and bring her up so that he could put her somewhere, and
he said to hurry that there would be money in it for me. When
I came back there, I found the lady lying back flat of her back
with a rope around her neck. The cloth was all around
her neck and part of it was under her head like to catch blood.
I noticed the clock after I went back there and found the lady
was dead and came back and told him. The clock was 4 minutes
to one. She was dead when I went back there, and I came back
and told Mr. Frank and he said to go back there by the cotton box, get a piece of cloth, put it around
her and bring her up. I didn't hear what Mr. Frank said and I
went on up there to hear what he said. He was standing on the
top of the steps, like he was going down the steps, and while
I was back in the metal department I didn't understand what he
said, and I came on back there to understand what he did say,
