Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

GEORGE EPPS. Re-called for Cross Examination.
I was present on Sunday after the murder when a gentleman
came to the house and talked to me and my sister about when
was the last time we had seen Mary Phagan. He didn't ask me,

HARRY SCOTT. Re-called for State.
It took Jim Conley two or three minutes to write out the

was chewing his lips and twirling a cigarette in his fingers.
He didn't seem to know how to hold on to it. He could not keep
feet still. He positively denied on May 18th that he had any-
thing to do with the murder of Mary Phagan and that he was at the
factory at all. We talked very strongly to him and tried to
