side of the table in the dining room, or on the north side of the table, in fact
you can not see the table at all, or the door leading from the dining room to
the sitting room. Sitting in a chair against the jamb of the kitchen door, you
could not see a man in that mirror. You would have to be a foot or more
inside of the door before you get any view of the mirror at all.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
Taking a point between the door and the back porch and a point about
the pantry you could see about half of the mirror. The floor in the dining
room showed that this furniture had been standing in the same position for
some time. You could see the top of a man's head if he were sitting at the
table. If the mirror were turned you might get a view. It depends on the
angle of reflection. It is easy to move the furniture. The mirror is rigid in
the furniture.

H. M. WOOD, sworn for the Defendant.
I am the Clerk of the Commissioners of Roads and Revenues of Fulton
County. Standing in the back kitchen door of the Selig residence that en-
ters on the back porch and undertaking to look into the dining room, I
could not see the mirror in the corner of the dining room at all. Moving up
into the kitchen, near the passageway, I could see nothing but the top of one
chair by looking in the mirror.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
The view that I could get of the mirror would depend upon where I stood
in the kitchen. I can only speak from the conditions that existed as I saw
them as to the arrangement of furniture.

JULIUS A. FISCHER, sworn for the Defendant.
I am a contractor and builder. I looked at the house of the Selig's at
68 E. Georgia Avenue. Standing in the kitchen door I had very little view
of the sideboard. You could see possibly an inch in the mirror. You can
get no view from the mirror. The table was made sitting down and standing
up. The mirror is four feet high from the floor. You could get no view of
the dining room table, nor see a man sitting at the table. The mirror is fixed
straight up and down. The view you get depends on the angle of the mirror.
If properly adjusted you might see a man standing up.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
I had the mirror turned around, but I couldn't see anything. The mirror
was too high from the floor. I don't know what the conditions were on
April 26th.
