were out of material and she was laid off for the rest of the
week. I have never seen Mr. Frank speak to her. I went to
the factory on April 26th, to see Mr. Schiff. He was not there.
I often go to the factory on Saturdays and holidays. The street
doors were open when I got there. I did not see Mary Phagan, nor
Jim Conley, nor Montie Stover. The doors to Mr. Frank's inner
and outer office were open. The time I reached Mr. Frank's
office was about 12:20. I saw Mr. Frank on Sunday at Bloomfield's
undertaking establishment in the afternoon. He had on a black

found. It was perfectly dry there, there was no water on the
floor.

I never mentioned it to Barrett either. I told Chief Lanford on
the following Monday that I was at the factory. I told it to
Frank on Tuesday. He said he would mention it to his lawyers.
I told Frank I didn't like to be brought into it, but if it would
help him in any way I would do it. As to whether Mr. Frank
told me that his lawyers advised him to
