B'nai B'rith affair, which Mr.Frank went to and I helped him
carry his packages to the car. As far as my remembering every Saturday
that I have been there for six months previous, I have never lost a
day from the factory since I have been there with the exception of
my vacation. I was with Mr.Frank until half past twelve on Thanks-
giving Day, when I left him at the corner of Mitchell and Alabama,
where he caught a Washington Street car. I don't know what he did
that afternoon. I do know that I remained at the factory every
Saturday afternoon since I have been there because I have not lost
a day. I paid off Friday,April 25th. I remember Helen Fugeren com-
ing to the window and I paid her. I can tell you the names of many
more that I paid off that afternoon. (Witness gives names of eight
or ten more he claims to have paid off). Mr.Frank and Mr.Holloway
were there at the time. It is very dark underneath the chute near
the Clarke Woodenware Company place, we kept shellac in front of the
door there. It is the door to the left. We did not have boxes
piled around there after this murder occurred. If a body had been
shot down there, it would have been 20 or 25 feet from that door.
We go down there every day or so to get shellac, you don't have to
pass by the opening under this chute. I never noticed any indication
that anybody had walked around there. I saw the place in the
metal department where they said there was blood. It looked like dry
blood from a finger being out. It looked like haskolene had been
splashed all over the metal department. There was nothing different
about that particular spot from any others, except that it was red.
It look like it had been swept over. As to those steps by the chute
I don't know what they were nailed up immediately after the murder.
Three days after I came up those steps. I don't remember whether
it was before or after the insurance people made us clean up. I
know I was at the factory on Saturdays and Holidays after twelve o'
clock. I changed the clock at times if I find that it is not right.
We don't run it five minutes ahead of time. Every time I look at
it it is on time. We do not have to regulate it often. We regulate
