FRANK,Plaintiff in ErrorVS.STATE OF GEORGIA,Defendant in ErrorFrom Fulton Superior Court.BRIEF OF THE EVIDENCE.MRS. J. W. COLEMAN, sworn for the State.I am Mary Phagan's mother. I last saw her alive on the 26th day of April, 1913, about a quarter to twelve, at home, at 146 Lindsey Street. She was getting ready to go to the pencil factory to get her pay envelope. About 11:30 she ate some cabbage and bread. She left home at a quarter to twelve. She would have been fourteen years old

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: CROSS EXAMINATION.I know what time it was when I met Mary, because I looked at Keheley's clock at the corner of Oliver and Bellwood, where I caught the car. She caught the car at Oliver and Lindsay where I caught the car at Oliver and Bell Street. She got on before I did, at the block before. I didn't say anything before the Coroner's jury about seeing a clock there, but I did see one. I know it was about seven minutes after twelve when I got off at Marietta Street because I can

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: and I went and says, "Alright, Mr. Frank," and he says, "What time is it?"and I says, "It lacks two minutes of six." He says, "Don't punch yet, thereis a few worked to-day and I want to change the slip." It took him twice aslong this time than it did the other times I saw him do it. He fumbled puttingit in, while I held the lever for him and I then made some remark abouthe was not used to putting it in. When Mr. Frank put the tape in I punchedand I went

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: saw something laying there which I thought some of the boys had put there to scare me, then I walked a little piece towards it and I seen what it was and I got out of there. I got the ladder and called up police station. It was after three o'clock. I carried the officers down where I found the body. I tried to get Mr. Frank on the telephone and was still trying when the officers came. I guess I was trying about eight minutes. I saw Mr. Frank Sunday morning at about

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: going in the basement. That would only prevent anybody from up stairs from going into the basement unless they went by the elevator or by unlocking those double doors. All of the doors to the factory were unlocked when I got back there Saturday afternoon about six o'clock, the first floor, the second floor, the third floor and the fourth floor. Anybody could come right in from the street and go all over the factory without Mr. Frank in his office knowing anything about it. The doors are never closed at all. That is

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: from there. No. I didn't go back as far as they found the body. I didn't go back that far at all during the night - The reason I went that far back when I saw the body was because I was after the closet. There are two closets on the second floor, one on the third floor and one on the fourth floor. I didn't see the lady's hat or shoe when I went down to that little place with my lantern, nor the parasol. My lantern was dirty. I was sitting down

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.The first time I saw Mr. Frank put any tape on, he didn't say anything about it being any trouble. The last time he put it on, he said something about that he wasn't used to putting it on. He was holding the lever there and he got it on twice and he had put it on wrong and he would have to slip it out and put it back. When Mr. Frank came out rubbing his hands, he came out of his inner office into the outer office and from there in

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: truding just the least bit. I began to look around and found a couple of notes. The cord was pulled tight and had cut into the flesh and tied just as tight as it could be. The underclothing around the neck was not tight. There wasn't much blood on her head. It was in her hair and it was a little moist. This scratch pad (State's Exhibit "H") was also lying on the ground, close to the body. The body was lying with the head towards Forsyth Street, the head being near the partition.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: hat was possibly nearer the elevator than the shoe. That was a dirt floor and cinders on it scattered over the dirt. I thought the places on her face had been made from dragging. I think I saw little blood on the underclothing. I did not testify before the coroner that the blood ran a little when we moved the body. I didn't say it was liquid. The blood was dry. The little trail where I thought showed the body was dragged went straight on down where the girl was found. It was a

STARNEB, sworn for the State.I am a city officer. Went to the pencil company’s place of business between five and six o’clock, April 27th. The pencil company is located in Fulton County, Georgia. That is where the body was found. The staple to the back door looked as if it had been prized out with a pipe pressed against the wood. There was a pipe there that fitted the indentation

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: CRO88 EXAMINATION.I am guessing about the time. It wouldn't take over five minutes to get off the car, walk to the pencil factory door, in, walk up the stairs and back into Mr. Frank's office. The hasp is bent a little. I heard Boots Rogers testify at the coroner's inquest and I testified twice. I did not correct any statement at the coroner's inquest that Boots Rogers made. I am the prosecutor in this case. I can not give the words of the conversation of the telephone message between myself and Mr. Frank. I

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: about 3 a. m. about hearing the telephone ring. Mr. Black said something about whiskey to Mrs. Frank in Mr. Frank's presence. Mrs. Frank said Mr. Frank hadn't had any breakfast and we'd allow him to get breakfast. I told Mr. Black that I was hungry myself. Frank said let me have a cup of coffee, Mr. Black in a kind of slip, said, "I think a drink of whiskey would do him good," and Mrs. Frank made the remark that she didn't think there was any whiskey in the house. Mr. Frank seemed

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: that he didn't know whether he did or not but that he could tell whether she worked at the factory by looking at his pay roll book - As we were leaving Mr. Frank's house, Mr. Frank asked Mrs. Phagan to telephone Mr. Darley to come to the factory. Mr.-Frank was apparently still nervous at the under- taking establishment, he stepped lively. He was just his general manner that indicated to me that he was nervous. I never saw Mr. Frank in my life until that morning. After we got out of Mr. Frank's

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: (Defendant's Exhibit I), the first punch was 6:01, the second one was 6:32 or 6:33. He took the slip back in his office. I glanced all the way down and there was a punch for every number. While we were walking through the factory Mr. Frank asked two or three times for a cup of coffee. As to what Mr. Frank said about the murder, I don't remember that I heard him express himself except down in the basement. The officers showed him where the body was found and he made the remark that

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: Frank stepped into that dressing room, but he passed out of my view. So did Mr. Black. Mr. Ghesling had a better view of Mr. Black and Mr. Frank than I did, because my back was to them and Mr. Ghesling was looking straight across the body at them. Mr. Frank had no difficulty in unlocking the safe when we went back to the factory. The elevator we went down on is a freight elevator, makes considerable noise. It stops itself when it gets to the bottom. I don't think it hits the ground.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: dressing room and Mary's machine within two or three feet. Mr. Frank, during the past twelve months, would pass through the metal department looking around every day. Sometimes I would find him talking to some of the men in the office at the clocks. He came back in the metal room to see how the work was getting on. The metal is kept in a little closet back under the stair steps. I asked Mr.Quinn, not Mr. Frank, if the metal had come. Saturday at twelve o'clock is the regular pay-day, but the week

I didn't pay very much attention to it. I went over to Mr. Frank's house with Boots Rogers. Mrs. Frank came to the door. Mrs. Frank had on a bath robe. I stated that I would like to see Mr. Frank and about that time Mr. Frank stepped out from behind a curtain. His voice was hoarse and trembling and nervous and excited. He looked to

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: 18anything that we might find in connection with the case. On Tuesday night Mr. Scott and myself suggested to Mr. Frank to talk to Newt Lee. Mr. Frank spoke well of the negro, said he had always found him trusty and honest. They went in a room and stayed from about 5 to 10 minutes alone. I couldn't hear enough to swear that I understood what was said. Mr. Frank stated that Newt still stuck to the story that he knew nothing about it. Mr. Frank stated that Mr. Gantt was there on Saturday

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: whether Mr. Frank finished dressing upstairs or not. I couldn't see him when he went behind those curtains. We stayed at the Frank home about ten minutes.

Yes, Mr. Frank was in front of me had an opportunity to see it also. No, Mr. Frank didn't go into that sleeping room. Mr. Frank went out just ahead of me. When we went back to the pencil factory Mr.

I was employed by Mr. Frank regarding the National Pencil Company. I saw Mr. Frank Monday afternoon, April 28, at the pencil factory. We went into Mr. Frank's private office.

This white stuff covered all of the dark spots. I didn't note any unusual signs of nervousness about Frank in his office. There wasn't any trembling or anything of that sort at that time. He was not composed. On Tuesday night, April 29, Black, Mr. Frank and myself were together and Mr. Black told Mr. Frank that he believed Newt Lee was not telling all that he

No, I did not report that to you. I reported

The spot was about 4 or 5 inches in diameter and little spots behind these from the rear - 6 or 8 in number. I discovered these between 6:30 and 7 o'clock Monday. It was blood. It looked like some white substance had been wiped over it. We kept potash and haskoline, both white substances, on this floor. This white stuff was smeared over the spots.

He was at the station house two or three hours. I told him Chief Lanford wanted to see him.CROSS EXAMINATION.I saw Mr. Rosser and Mr. Haas at the station house about 8:30

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: 800that I locked it Saturday. I did say in that affidavit it is kept locked all the time. The reason I said at the coroner's inquest that the elevator box was always locked and that I left it locked on Saturday was because I forgot to tell about that sawing. I did that sawing just after I left there Saturday. Friday evening I never heard Mr. Frank say anything to Newt Lee. When I left the factory at 11:45 on Saturday Mr. Frank said to me "You can go ahead if you want to;

Mr. Darley was the next one that came in and then Mattie Smith the next. She stayed about 10 minutes and went out again. I met Miss Corinthia Hall and Miss Emma

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: RE-CROSS EXAMINATIONWhen I gave Mr. Dorsey that affidavit about locking the elevator I was telling more about my habit, the way I usually did it. I forgot to tell him about sawing those planks that Saturday morning and the fact that I sawed those planks makes me know that I left the elevator unlocked.

Mr. Frank worked on his books until he got ready

I saw the financial sheet on Mr. Frank's desk. Mr. Frank picked it up in his hand. Gantt was at the factory three or four times after he was discharged. My recollection is that Frank said something about the financial sheet on Sunday. It was on May 3rd that Mr. Haas, the insurance man asked that the factory be cleaned upon the Malsby side and on the other side. When

To arrive at the profit that was made during the week he took the actual value of the pencil and the amount of expenses that was paid out for material, labor, etc. He had to get all the data, all the reports and make all those calculations. It usually took him from about half past two to three o'clock on Saturday until five-thirty, and some times later. This financial sheet (Defendant's Exhibit "2") is in Frank's handwriting and

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: "jobs" implies I don't know how many different kind of jobs. There are 24 different kind of pencils. He puts them there as having been produced that week. He got the reports as to the quantity of each kind of pencil and had to tabulate all those reports and arrive at the total of each kind. No, I don't think he had to figure out the cost of production of each kind, but he figures the quantity of each kind of pencil and shows its value on the sheet. Starnes and Black and Anderson

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: On a cloudy day it is very dark. We keep a light burning there most of the time. I couldn't say whether we had cleaned up all the trash and rubbish around the factory, because there are corners and crevices which we don't usually get to. Saturday, April 26, was a very bad, misty day, until about 9:30. It was cloudy most of the day. It was dark there around the elevator on the first floor and we had big heavy boxes piled up there. One of them must have been almost as large

Now, I have very few clerks at Forsyth Street, or any-where else, for that matter, who could make out this sheet (Defendant's Ex-hibit 2) successfully and accurately. It involves a great deal of work andone has to exercise exceptional care and accuracy in making it out. Younotice that the gross production here (Defendant's Exhibit 2) is 2765%. Thatgives the net production. The gross production is nothing more than theaddition, the total addition, the proven addition of those sheets containingthe pencils packed. This other little sheet (Defendant's Exhibit 7A) behindhere represents

The same way to find the good lead and the cheap lead, the large lead and the copying lead; that operation had to be gone through in detail with each and every one of those, and the same with each of the boxes, and that is a tough job. Some of them come packed in one gross boxes and some in half-gross boxes, and, as I say, we have a display box, and there are pencils that are put in individual boxes, and we have to go through

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: I took out from this job sheet (Defendant's Exhibit 8), the correct amount of gross packed—791 as figured there—correct value $396.76, as shown on this sheet, and the average is the same, that I didn't carry out to two decimal places; I didn't carry it to the cent. Then from the pay-roll book I got the pay-roll for Forsyth Street and Hunter Street, and then as a separate item took out from the pay-roll book the amount for the machine shop, which that week was $70.00. The shipments (Defendant's Exhibit 6), were figured for

On one side you notice "Expense," and two main headings "Ex-pense," "Materials." Together they comprise the expense for the week.On the other side, like the debit and credit side of a ledger, is the "Value,""Gross Value" of the goods, which have been packed up during a givenweek. Down here below you will notice "Less Repacked." You rememberthe repacked, that I told you about, the pencils taken out of stock and re-packed to make them move better. That

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: The material is arrived at on the basis, gross, net. The gross basis is the total amount of pencils packed, as per the packing reports handed in by Miss Bula May Flowers, and the net basis is the total amount, total gross, packed by report of Miss Eula May Flowers less the amount of repacked, of which I have spoken. In this case the gross amount was 2,651 gross, net 2,380 1-2 gross, the smaller being the net figure. The slats are figured at 22 cents per gross, and that's simply taking the 2,380

Then we look on down this pencil sheet, cut down each and every one of the items accordingly—you will notice in some places I marked some items, "142 1-2 9-10-X"—and so on down the sheet. In this case there were 20 or 30 different items, all of which had to have the prices correctly traced down, extensions correctly made, marked, re-checked, added up, and totaled, and checked back, and the pack had to be deducted, after which the 12 per cent. had to be figured out, and deducted, giving the net
