The or-dinary time that it takes wheat bread to pass out of the stomachis not less than three hours.

There can be no doubt that these pieces would retard the digestion and the passage from the stomach into the small intestine.

In the average case I would say that starch had not been in the stomach very long.

A great many thingsretard digestion, such as excitement, anger and grief. Formalde-hyde stops all formed processes of the pancreatic juices, andafter a body was embalmed with it I would not expect to find thepancreatic juices. It also destroys the pepsin, so that 10 daysafter death in the case of a body embalmed with formaldehyde noaccurate opinion could be given as to how long the cabbage (State'sExhibit G) had been in the stomach.

There is a cycle of acidity and in the progress of digestion that increases, and then later it goes down. Food that is not thoroughly emulsified will remain in the stomach indigestly. cabbage like that (State's Exhibit G) and wheat bread, might remain in the stomach until the process of digestion is complete, which ordinarily would be from three and a half to four hours. They might pass through the body undigested. A formaldehyde embalming

There are sexual inverts who are absolutely normal in physical appearance. If I had a subject where there was a blow on the head, going practically to the skull, with no injury to the brain, and the face was livid, the tongue hanging out, with deep indentation in the neck, the flesh pushed out of place, with blue nails and lips, I would say that death was

Embalming fluid destroys the pancreatic juices so that it would be impossible to find them. Babbage like that (State Exhibit G) is liable to obstruct the opening of the pyloris, and to delay digestion. Food of that character might remain in the stomach undigested for 10 or 12 hours irrespective of the acid found there.

I don't know how long it takes an ordinary stomach to digest turnips. If a 13 year old child ate cabbage and bread on Saturday and her body was found that

Cabbage gets its diges-tion in the mouth. That cabbage (State's Exhibit G ) has not beenmasticated thoroughly. They have been swallowed almost whole.

As to whether you could ever find free hydrochloric acid in the stomach immediately after taking Ewald's test breakfast, would depend entirely on the state of the glands, and how long previous digestion had been in the stomach.

At the age of three months, my parents took me to Brooklyn, New York, and I remained in my home until I came South, to Atlanta, to make my home here. I attended the public schools of Brooklyn, and prepared for college, in Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, New York. In the fall of 1902, I entered Cornell University, where I took the course in mechanical engineering, and graduated after four years, in

My duties as Superintendent of the National Pencil Company were, in general, as follows: I had charge of the technical and mechanical end of the factory, looking after the operations and seeing that the product was turned out in quality equal to the standard which is set by our competitors. I looked after the installation of new machinery and the purchase of new machinery. In addition to that, I had charge of the office work at the Forsyth Street plant, and general supervision of the lead plant, which is situated on Bell

I then went out to the shipping room and conversed afew minutes with Mr. Irby, who at that time was shipping clerk,concerning the work which he was going to do that morning,through, to the best of my recollection, we did

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: It is very important that the prices be correct, that the amount of goods shipped agree with the amount which is on the invoice, and that the terms are correct, and that the address is correct, and also in some cases, I don't know whether there is one like that here, there are freight deductions, all of which have to be very carefully checked over and looked into, because I know of nothing else that exasperates a customer more than to receive invoices that are incorrect; moreover, on this morning, this operation of this

Then I started in, we transcribed, first we enter all orders into the house order book (Defendant's Exhibit 18), all these orders which Miss Hall had acknowledged, I entered in that book, and I will explain that matter in detail. There has been some question raised about this, but I believe we can make it very clear. Here is an order from Beutell Brothers Company (Defendant's Exhibit 21); the very first operation on an

I asked Mr. White's wife if she was going or would stay there as I would be obliged to lock up the factory, and Mrs. White said, No, she would go then. I went down and gathered up my papers and locked my desk and went around and washed my hands and put on my hat and coat and locked the inner door to my office

He went off down the stair case leading out and I returned to my office. Now, in reference to Newt

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Well, I expect you have gotten enough of a glance at them for you to know that there are a great many pencils and a great many colors, all sorts and styles; all sorts of tips, all sorts of rubbers, all sorts of stamps--I expect there are 140 pencils in that roll. That shows the variety of goods we manufacture. We not only have certain set numbers that we manufacture, but we will manufacture any pencil to order for any customer who desires an efficient number of a special pencil, into a grade similar

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: the name of the customer, if he was a business in a sufficient quantity. Well, I had to go through this report for Thursday, handed in by Miss Flowers, the forelady of the packing department, as she said, on Friday I had to go through it and make the entries. Now, after I made the entries, I had to total each number for itself; that is, the number of 10-X, 20-X, etc. Now, I notice that both of the expert accountants who got on the stand, pointed out errors. While those errors are trivial,

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: May handed this in from the packing room proper, there is another room where pencils are packed, viz: the department under the foreladyship of Miss Fannie Atherton, head of the job department. The jobs are our second or throw-outs for which we get less money, of course, than for the first. You see that Fannie A (Def'ts Ex. 4b); that is Fannie Atherton. That is the job department. Now, I took each of those job sheets and separated them from the rest of those sheets, finding out how many jobs of the various kinds

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: pencils, which are the two figures most important, I divided one by the other. I also used, in getting up the data for the financial sheet, by the way, 'one of the most important sheets' is this very little sheet here (Def't's Ex. 40). It looks very small, but the work connected with it is very large. Now, some of the items that appear on there are gotten from the reports which are handed in by the various forewomen. Now you saw on the stand this morning Mr. Godfrey Winekauf, the Superintendent of the

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: of 4374 gross. Now, there is another little slip of paper (Def'ts Ex. 4a) here that requires one of the most complicated calculations of this entire financial, and I will explain it. It shows the repack, and I notice an error on it here, it says here 4-17, when it ought to be 4-18; in other words, it goes from 4-17 through 4-24. That repack is gotten up by Miss Eula May; you will notice it is O.K.'d by her. Miss Eula May Flowers, the forelady, packed that; that is the amount of pencils

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: That added up, as you will see, to $70.00. In other words, there were 40 gross of pencils, 36 gross of which sell in our medium price goods; 86 gross 35-K; 10 gross 930-X, $2.50, that is a high priced goods. Therefore, the re-pack for that week was 36 gross medium priced goods and 10 gross of high price goods. I will show you now where the $70.00 is and where the 36' grosses is, and where the 10 gross figured in the financial sheet (Def't's Ex 4). There is a little sheet stuck

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Ex. 9(a) I had to work on, showing the pencils that were repacked, going into the display boxes, and the numbers, and subtracted that from the total amount 46 from 2755 1/2, which leaves 2719 1/2; in other words, I just deducted the amount that had been taken out of the stock room and repacked from the total amount that was stated to be packed, showing the amount of repacked goods. Now all I had to do was to copy that off, it had been figured once. The value of the repack was $70.00;

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: are many pencils that don't take rubber at all. There are jobs that don't take rubber on them, plain common pencils, going pencils that don't have rubber on them at all, and I have to go through all of that operation, that tedious operation again that eats up so much time. Then there is the lead of the various kinds that we use; there is good lead and cheap lead, the large lead and the thick or carbon lead, and the copying lead. That same operation has to be gone through again. Now this

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: some common factor, so I make the multiplication in figuring out the cost at two cents. That involves quite a mathematical manipulation. Then I come to the skeleton. Skeletons are no more than just a trade name. They are just little cardboard tiers to keep one pencil away from the other, that is all a skeleton is. I have to go through and find out which pencils are skeletons. If it is a cheap pencil, they are just tied up with a cord, and there are pencils in a bunch, and there are pencils

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: our lead plant delivery, for information. Then the slat delivery, that is not worked out simply because that is Mr. Schiff's duty to work that out, and that it is a very tedious and long job and when I started in to do that I couldn't find the sheet showing the different deliveries of slats from the mill, so I let that go, intending to put that in on Monday, but on Monday following I was at the police station. I took out from this job (Defendant's Ex. 4b) sheet the correct amount of

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: from this sheet, the last entry in A, which I had to make.Then the orders received. The entry of the orders received that day involved absolutely no more work on my part than the mere transfer of the entries. On this blue sheet (Defendant's Ex. 1) I have here the orders received are in terms of "Total gross" and "Total value," and we need that to compare the amount of shipments with the amount of orders we are receiving to see whether we are shipping more than we are receiving, or receiving more than

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: and credit sides of a ledger is the Value", "gross Value"of the goods which have been packed up during a given week.Down here below you will notice "Less repacked." You rememberthe repacked, that I told you about, the pencils taken out ofstock and repacked to make them move better. That value isdeducted, so that it won't allow error to enter into thisfigure. Then we take off 12% down at the bottom. That12% allows for freight allowance, cash discounts, insidetrade discounts, and possibly other allowances, and gives usthe net value or the net amount of

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: salesman sells little or big his salary goes on and his expenses goes on. Rent, heat, light, power, sales department men, and all that, is figured out, as you would find by looking back, continuously, from week to week, and there is no work other than jotting it down to figure in this total.The repair sundries is also arbitrary at $150.00. The machine shop, however, is evadable. It appears alongside of "Investment". "Investment" is crossed out, and "Machine shop" written in. There is a reason for that. The time was at the inception of

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: in ferrules, the medium rubber, and the better class of rubber.In other words, it's gotten by adding together therubber at 9 cents a gross, and the rubber at 14 cents a gross,and adding together the total amount of gross used. And yousee it says "materials", and it is reckoned at 10 cents; inother words, the materials used in making the tips in that tipplant we figured at 10 cents a gross, and the labor is in-cluded in that payroll item up above.
