30 minutes. I was in the automobile with Mr. Frank and Mr. Black and his leg was shaking. He was under arrest at the time.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
I don’t know what he was doing in the office. I saw some other people up there that I didn’t recognize. I was sent to the pencil factory to notice Mr. Frank and the pencil factory. I thought Mr. Frank would be arrested.

J. L. BEAVERS, sworn for the State.
I am Chief of police of the City of Atlanta. I was at the pencil factory on Tuesday, April 29th, and saw what I took to be a splotch of blood on the floor right near this little dressing room. The office floor, seemed to be as big as a quarter in the center and scattered out in the direction of this room near the door. There was one spot and some other scattered around that.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
It may have been Monday that I was at the pencil factory. I don’t know whether it was blood or not. It looked like blood.

R. M. LASSITER, Sworn for the State.
I am a city policeman. On Sunday morning, April 27th, I found a parasol in the bottom of the elevator shaft: It was laying about the center of the shaft. I also found a ball of rope twine, small wrapping twine, and also something that looked like a person’s stool.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
I noticed evidence of dragging from the elevator in the basement. As I passed the rear door at 12 o’clock, the door was closed. The umbrella was not crushed. I found it between 6 and 7 o’clock in the morning. The elevator comes down there and hits the ground plump at the bottom of the basement.

RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.
I don’t know whether the elevator shaft has a cement bottom or not. There is a whole lot of trash at the bottom.

L. O. GRICE, Sworn for the State.
My name is L. O. Grice. I was at the National Pencil company’s place on Sunday morning, April 27th. A small sized man, defendant here, attracted my attention, on account of his nervousness.
