Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

shaft to the place where the body of the young lady is said to have been
found, and 80 feet from the front of the elevator shaft to the trash pile and
90 feet from the elevator shaft to the boiler, and 116 feet from the elevator
shaft to the colored people's toilet. It is 50 feet from the elevator to the
back stairway. The chute as shown on the page 2 of the plat is five feet wide
and 15 or 20 feet long. It empties upon a platform in the basement about
eight or ten feet from the back steps and about 32 feet from where the body
is said to have been found. The back door is 165 feet from the elevator and
the total length is 200 feet. I saw no furniture, except a bunk with old dirty
sacks, which were very filthy. The floor of the basement is dirt and ashes.
The trash pile is 57 feet from where the body was found and it is 21 feet
from where the body was found to the colored toilet, and 42 feet from where
the body was found to the back door. The angle from the colored toilet to
where the body was found is 43 degrees and the partition in the basement
cuts off the vision. I should say that it would cut off about half of the body.
It is very dark in the basement. These diagrams are accurate, made accord-
ing to accurate instruments. On the first floor there is an open areaway, ex-
tending to the west end of the building. It has a door about five feet wide.
There are two toilets in this open areaway, about 90 feet from the front. This
part of the first floor is directly above where the young lady's body was
found. The size of the packing room is shown on page 2 of the plat, is
about 33 by 80. The inner office of Mr. Frank is 12-1.2 by 17-1.2. When the
safe is open, you can see nothing from the inner office to the outer office, or
the outer office into the inner office, unless you stand up, and the safe is about
4-1.2 feet high. A person five feet and 2 inches tall could not see over the
safe. There are no shades in the windows and a person on the opposite side
of the street could look into the office. It is 150 feet from Mr. Frank's
desk to the dressing room. There is no view from Mr. Frank's desk to the
stairway to the first floor. Looking from Mr. Frank's desk towards the
clocks you can see about one fourth of the east clock. You can not see
the bottom of the stairway which leads to the second to the third floor.
The doorways in the metal rooms are about six feet wide. They have glass
in them. It is ten feet from the door to this dressing room. It is 26 feet
from the dressing room to the place marked "lathe" and 37 feet from
lathe to the point where Conley said he found the body. It is 19 feet from
the place where Conley found the body to the ladies' toilet.

CROSS EXAMINATION.

There are ashes and cinders along this walk in the basement. Mr. Schiff
showed me the point where the body was found. I made every calculation
from the point that Mr. Schiff showed me. I made, my diagrams within the
last month. About two feet of the wall prevents seeing from the desk in
Mr. Frank's office to the stairway. You can only see a part of the east clock
and doesn't take in the west clock at all.
