LEMOIE QUINN, Sworn for the Defendant:

I am foreman of the metal department. Barrett pointed out
to me where he claimed to have found blood spots on the met-

would get the reward if Frank were convicted. He told me that
several people told him that he had a good chance to get the re-

on several occasions. The floor on the metal room is very dirty.
You could not tell at the alleged blood spots whether they were

a boy cut his hand pretty badly and was carried by the ladies
dressing room to the main office, right near the place where
Barrett found the blood spots. His hand was bleeding. About
a hundred women work in the factory. Rosakoline is scattered all
over the floor of the metal room. That floor has never been
scrubbed since I have been to the factory. I could not tell
what color hair it was Barrett found. There were only a half

hair. If a breeze was blowing from this window from the west
it would blow to where the girls were fixing their hair. The
last time I saw Mary Phagan before the murder was Monday. She
