Here is the translated text as follows:

896 X. AMERICAN STATE TRIALS.

It is worth noting that there are other instances you might pick showing that he used the word "I done," and they know it. All right, leave the language, take the context.

These notes say, as I suggested the other day, that she was assaulted as she went to make water. The only closet known to Mary, and the only one that she would ever have used, is the closet on the office floor, where Conley says he found the body. Her body was found right on the route that Frank would pursue from his office to that closet, and right on back also to the metal room. The fact that this note states that a negro did it by himself shows a conscious effort on the part of somebody to exclude and limit the crime to one man, and this fact sustains Conley. Frank even, in his statement, sustains him as to his time of arrival Saturday morning at the factory, as to the time of the visit to Montags, as to the folder which Conley says Frank had in his hands, and Frank in his statement says that he had the folder. Conley is sustained by another thing: This man Harry White, according to your statement, got $2.00. Where is the paper, where is the entry on any book showing that Frank ever entered it up on that Saturday afternoon when he waited for Conley and his mind was occupied with the consideration of the problem as to what he should do with the body? Schiff waited until the next week and would have you believe there was some little slip that was put in a cash box showing that this $2.00 was given to White, and that slip was destroyed. Listen to this: "Arthur White borrowed $2.00 from me in advance on his wages. When we spend, of course, we credit it; there was a time when we paid out money we would write it down on the book, and we found it was much better for us to keep a little voucher book and let each and every person sign for money they got."

"Let each and every person sign for money they got," says Frank in his statement, "and we have not only this record, but this record on the receipt book." And notwithstanding that you kept a book and you found it better to keep this little voucher book and let each and every person sign for the money they received.
