Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

could'nt tell you anybody who came to the factory the first Saturday I watched.
The second time I think there were some young ladies working up on the
fourth floor. I don't know about the third time. I don't know whether any-
body was working there Thanksgiving or not. I didn't see Mr. Schiff at all.
I will swear that he was not in the office with Mr. Frank. I don't know
whether any ladies were working there the next time or not. I have been back
in the metal department, but I never have been on the right hand side where
the machines are. I have swept on the second floor, but not in the metal
department. I don't know where those vats are back there. I don't know
what you are talking about. I don't know anything about the plating room.
I never have been in Mr. Quinn's office. I have put disinfectants in the ladies
and gentlemen's closets back there. I wouldn't go inside. I would only go to
the door. I stood outside of the door and sprinkled it in a little way. Out-
side of that, and going to Mr. Quinn's office, I have never been on the left hand
side of the factory. I have been there where they wash the lead at, and I have
stuck bills in Mr. Quinn's office. Yes, I have been back in there where that
dark place is. I don't know how many times I have stacked some boxes back
in there. I have been back there three times altogether. Sometime before
Christmas. Yes, sir, you can see from the top of the stairway back in there.
I have been back there three times altogether. Sometime before Christmas.
Yes, sir; you can see from the top of the stairway to Mr. Frank's inside office.
A man sitting at Mr. Frank's desk can see people coming up the stairway if
he is watching for them. If the safe door is open I don't hardly think he
can see them. If it is shut he can. I am certain of that. I thought you were
talking about the third floor. He couldn't see people coming up from the first
floor. He can see them after they get along by the clock. I left the factory
5:30 Friday afternoon, before the factory stopped. I think I punched when I
went out. One of them was ten minutes fast. That was the one on the right.
I left there without drawing my money because I knew I wasn't going to draw
but $2.75 and I owed the watchman a dollar and I owed Wedd I wouldn't have
enough for me and to pay him and I told Mr. Frank not to let Snowball draw
it for me. Snowball drew it for me and met me at the shoe shop at the corner
of Alabama and Forsyth Street. He gave me $1.75. I wasn't supposed to
draw but $2.75, and Mr. Frank taken that dollar for the watchman and stuck
an extra dollar in my envelope and that made $3.75. I don't remember how
many beers I drank Friday. Yes, I told Mr. Scott I got up at 9 o'clock that
morning. That wasn't true. I ate breakfast about seven. Yes, I told Mr.
Black I ate at 9:30. That wasn't true. I left my house between 7 and 7:30.
I told Mr. Scott I left somewhere between 10 and 10:30. No, that wasn't true.
I got to Peters Street about 25 minutes to 8. I don't know how long I stayed
there. Some things in my affidavit that I made are true. Yes, there are
some things in my last affidavit that are true. I was arrested on the first of
May. I sent for Mr. Black to come down when I made my first statement on
May 18th. Yes, I denied I had been to the factory in that statement. I made
