A. No sir, I know the time I arrived there and the time I
left the factory.

Q. First, I want you to state what he said he did, and what he
said Mr. Frank did, and then come to the time business?

A. I don't quite understand what you told to do.

Q. Just go ahead and tell what Conley said he said, and what
Conley said Mr. Frank said, and show what Conley did the day
you were over there, take it up right back here where the body
was and go on with it, leaving out, however, what he said about
the cord and all that?

A. He said when he found the body, he came up to Mr. Frank,
called to him from some point along here, I should judge
(indicating on diagram), I don't understand this diagram exactly,

came up and told Mr. Frank about it, that he would have to come
and help him, or something like that, and that Mr. Frank came
back and took the feet, I believe, he said, and he took the
head, and they brought the body up to the elevator and put it
on the elevator.

Q. (By the Court) Was he going through all that thing?

A. Yes sir, he was enacting this all the time, and talking
all the time. He described how the body was put on the elevator,
and he said Mr. Frank run the elevator down, and he went on down
the elevator.

Q. (By the Court) Did he go down in the elevator?

A. On this trip, yes sir, he went down in the elevator to the
basement, and he said Mr. Frank helped in the body out, and
they dropped it there, and Mr. Frank told him to take it up
