serious mistake. That is an oversight. Yes, I reported to the police before
I reported to Mr. Haas or Mr. Montag.
RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.
Yes, our agency reported to the police about finding the club. I find it
is in our report of May 15th. I don't know when it was reported; I was
out of town. I worked all through this case with Detective Black and every
move he made was known to both of us. As to the stairway from the base-
ment to the upper floor, there was a great deal of dust on the stairs and the
dust didn't seem to be disturbed. This stairway is not in the picture but is
near the back door. It was nailed and closed.

MISS MONTEEN STOVER, sworn for the State.
I worked at the National Pencil Company prior to April 25th, 1913. I
was at the factory at five minutes after twelve on that day. I stayed there
five minutes and left at ten minutes after twelve. I went there to get my
money. I went in Mr. Frank's office. He was not there. I didn't see or hear
anybody in the building. The door to the metal room was closed. I had on
tennis shoes, a yellow hat and a brown rain coat. I looked at the clock on
my way up, it was five minutes after twelve and it was ten minutes after
twelve when I started out. I had never been in his office before. The door
to the metal room is sometimes open and sometimes closed.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
I didn't look at the clock to see what time it was when I left home or
when I got back home. I didn't notice the safe in Mr. Frank's office. I
walked-right-in-and walked right out. I went right through into the office
and turned around and came out. I didn't notice how many desks were in
the outer office. I didn't notice any wardrobe or clothes in. I don't
know how many windows are in the front office. I went through the first
office into the second office. The factory was still and quiet when I was there.
I am fourteen years old and I worked on the fourth floor of the factory. I
knew the paying-off time was twelve o'clock on Saturday and that is why I
went there. They don't pay off in the office, you have to go up to a little
window they open.

RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.
The door to the metal room is sometimes closed and sometimes open.
When the factory isn't running the door is closed.

R. P. BARRETT, sworn for the State.
I am a machinist for the National Pencil Company. I have been there
about eight weeks. On Monday morning, April 28th, I found an unusual spot
