Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

Mr. Starnes, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Morse, Mr. Martin and Mr. Dorsey all talked
to me. I didn't go down to see Miss May at the station house. I didn't see Mrs.
Frank or Mrs. Selig that Saturday through the mirror. I didn't keep my eye
on the mirror all the time. I couldn't tell who was in the dining room without
looking in the mirror. Mr. Frank got there not later than 1:30. Mr. Frank
came on back to Pulliam Street, and caught the Georgia Avenue car at the
corner of Georgia Avenue, and Pulliam Street. I am certain that he caught
the Georgia Avenue car at Pulliam Street and Georgia Avenue.

RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.

The Selig residence is on East Georgia Avenue between Pulliam and Wash-
ington Streets. I don't know exactly the nearest place for Mr. Frank to have
gotten on the car, Washington Street or Pulliam Street. I suppose Pulliam
Street is nearer to town than Washington. I certainly saw Mr. Frank that
day, from the kitchen where I was sitting.

MISS HELEN FERGUSON, sworn for the State.

My name is Helen Ferguson. I worked at the National Pencil Company on
Friday the 25th. I saw Mr. Frank Friday, April 25, about 7 o'clock in the
evening and asked for Mary Phagan's money. Mr. Frank said "I can't let
you have it," and before he said anything else I turned around and walked
out. I had gotten Mary's money before, but I didn't get it from Mr. Frank.

CROSS EXAMINATION.

When I got Mary's money before I went up there and called my number
and called her number, and I got mine and hers. I didn't ask the man that
was paying off this time to let me have it. I don't remember whether Mr.
Schiff was in the office or not when I asked Mr. Frank for Mary's money. Some
of the office force were there, but I can't recall their name. I worked in the
metal department about two years. I never saw little Mary Phagan in Mr.
Frank's office. I don't think Mr. Frank knew my name, he knew my face.
It has been some time since I asked for Mary's pay by number. I do not believe
that I ever saw Mr. Frank speak to Mary Phagan.

RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.

I don't know who paid off on Friday, April 25th.

R. L. WAGGONER, sworn for the State.

I am a city detective. On Monday, April 29th, from ten thirty until a
little after 11 in the morning I was in front of the pencil factory on the other
side of the street. I would continually see Mr. Frank walk to the window and
look down and twist his hands when he would come to the window looking
down on the sidewalk. He did this about 12 times when I was there in about-
