STATE'S EXHIBIT 2

Miss Hattie Hall's testimony before Coroner's inquest, as follows:-

"He (Mr. Frank) came to Montag's office and I went to his office. I went to his office after he went to his, somewhere between 10:30 and 11. I didn't notice the clock. Ask to whether I got any financial sheet on Monday, or not, I remember the previous Saturday I was at the pencil factory and I helped him make up the financial sheet. I filled in part of it, I suppose by that he must have got at up. I transferred some of the things to that sheet. Mr. Frank told me that I really don't remember whether it was morning or afternoon. It was morning. I don't work on Saturday afternoons. I don't remember that I was in the inner office with him at any time except when I was taking the letters. He was pretty quiet there. I suppose he was at work."
