Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: REDIRECT EXAMINATION. When I stated that it took two and a half hours to three hours to make up the financial sheet, I meant with out any interruptions. We have quite a few interruptions on Saturdays, salesmen drop in, draymen and people come in, for their envelopes after we have paid off. When I said to Mr.Dorsey that he might do the work from 8.30 to 10.30, I had reference purely to the financial sheet, making the entries in the house order book, requisitions and dictating the correspondence, I did not include. The correspondence

We have had unreliable people at the factory. We give them a trial. I knew that Conley was unreliable a good while ago. Found it out the first time I ever spoke to him. When we found that we couldn't trust him we took him off the elevator. Mr. Darley and I did it. We didn't take it up with Frank. Girls in the factory have told me about his

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: 26B'nai B'rith affair, which Mr.Frank went to and I helped himcarry his packages to the car. As far as my remembering every Saturdaythat I have been there for six months previous, I have never lost aday from the factory since I have been there with the exception ofmy 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 didthat afternoon. I do know that I remained at the factory everySaturday

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: I say he did work on the average sheet on Saturday because those orders came in that day. I know they could not have been entered the Thursday before and that they were entered in fact Saturday because I had gone over the orders and find that they average the same thing that he has got on the average sheet. None of the orders came in the factory before Saturday morning because they were not there Friday night when I left. I am sure of that. I have never known Mr. Frank to leave

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: It is true that he could have done all of the work in two hours and a half. I didn't hear him say that he could have done it in an hour and a half. The work that have just been over and the entries in the book and the letters that he dictated to the stenographer is the sum total of all the work that I have seen done on the books in the office on April 26th. Mr. Frank and I were not paid off on the 25th, or 26th. In addition

It is not easyto say how long that would take. It is merely looking at those thingsand putting them down,you have got to over it,and get the differentclasses of goods that we pack and take it and put it under the headof the specialty,that is the head of the class of goods manufac-tured that week. You must have the slat record. I haven't got theslat record here. It certainly is different from this. It comesfrom

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: when I left Friday night. I left Friday night at half past six. I didn't go to the factory on Saturday morning. I have never timed Mr.Frank entering those orders. I said I guess it would take him thirty minutes to actually enter them. After entering them he mu-st transcribe and acknowledge them. The initials "H.H" on these orders(Defendant's exhibits 14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24), means Miss Hattie Hall, the stenographer. "H.G.S." on these regulations (Defendant's exhibit 25 to 35 inclusive) are my initials, means that I checked the order and O.K.'d it and its gone. Miss Hattie

He phoned me first about twelve o'clock, and then again about twelve thirty. He wanted to see if wecould not injustice to all the employees try to sift this thingdown, and he suggested getting the Pinkerton. He phoned againnear one o'clock. Mr.Frank spoke about his nervousness. He didn'ttalk a great deal about it. He may have spoken to me one or twiceabout it. I think one time he explained to me how terrible thegirl looked and the other time

He did not speak to the negro Conley that day. Today we tried to open up the factory, but every body was so excited that we couldn't do any work. The girls were standing around, crying. We had to suspend. As I went out of the shipping room that morning, I saw Conley standing at the back of the room. I said "what are you doing here?" He says:

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: (Defendant's exhibits 25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35) are in Mr.Frank's handwriting and are O.K. by me when I check it, which meansthat we ship the goods. All of the goods called for by these ordershave been shipped out by me after being O.K.'d with the exceptionof the order of R.E. Kindell and Company 7197 (Defendant's exhibit34), which was cancelled by letter. None of these orders were atthe pencil company factory when I left there Friday night, and theywere there when I got back on Monday. The work of looking overthe orders and intering them in the order book

He would send an acknowledgement card for every order we received. If the order wasn't understood, he would write. The next item he entered was "House order 7189 Woolworth Store 53,Logansport,Ind." to be shipped at once, received on 4-36-13". He figured that order out and entered it. The next order is "House order 7190, store 55 DeKalb, Ill. received 4-26-13, ship at once". The next order 14 "House order 7191, store 35 Wilkesbarre,

This is the comparison sheet he made on Saturday. It is dated April 24th, 1913. (Defendant's Ex. "11"). The requisition and

We did not do any of the work on that sheet on Friday. I think it would take about three hours to go through the calculations and complete that sheet. That was our average time. There is no difference in the handwriting of Mr. Frank in the financial sheet of April 26th, from that of the week previous. It is just the same. The financial sheets are all kept in this book here (Defendant's Ex.

People sometimes want them packed in tissue paper and he has to know which pencils are packed. He has got to go through all the pencils to determine which took wrappers and which did not. Our pencil production averaged 2900 to 3000 gross per week. A gross is 144. The next item is "skeletons".

He has to calculate and have a separate report as to each kind of pencil, and then add them up. We manufacture over a hundred kind of pencils. That week we dealt with about thirty-five different kinds. To do this you have to add, multiply, classify and separate each pencil into a different class. The next item appearing on the financial sheet is "slats", 2719. In calculating that he had to calculate the number of gross slats used,

It is an open hole. There is no lid to it. It is big enough for the body of a girl of the size of Mary Phagan to go through. If a body was thrown down it, it would roll down and stop on the platform. Mr.

Visible Translated Text Is As Follows: I paid off the help on Friday, April 25th, from the pay window outside of the office. I remember paying off Helen Ferguson that day. Nobody came up to ask for Mary Phagan's pay. Before any one could get another's envelope, they have to have a note to that effect. There was no reason for anyone to go to Mr. Frank to get their pay Friday, April 25. I was at the window paying off employees. We had posters put up all over the factory announcing that Saturday would be a legal holiday and

There is a dirty box with dirty crocus sackson it in the basement on the Clarke Wooden Ware Company side.It is very filthy and dirty down there.

From there we went down and examined the time clock and went through the south aisle and down the ladder into the basement, where I was shown that everything had been found. As to Mr. Frank's manner and deportment at the time we were in his office, he seemed to be perfectly natural. I saw no signs of nervousness. Occasionally between words he seemed to take a deep breath and deep sighs about four or five times. His eyes were very large and piercing. They looked about the same they do now.

I don't know when he made this last statement. I don't remember whether that was before or after I went out to Lee's house and found the shirt. It was after Mr. Frank told me about the skips in

Yes, Mr. Frank being in front of me had an opportunity to see it also. No, 'r. Frank didn't go into that sleeping room, Mr. Frank went out just ahead of me.

I heard Mr. Rosser say to Mr. Frank to give them a statement without a conference at all between Mr. Frank and Mr. Rosser. I said that we wanted to have a private talk with Mr. Frank without Mr. Rosser being present. I wanted
