they wanted to chat. When young ladies would come there, I
would sit down at the first floor and watch the door for him. I
couldn't exactly tell how many times I have watched the floor
for him previous to April 26th, it has been several times that
I watched for him. I don't know who would be there when I
watched for him, but there would be another young man, another
young lady during the time I was at the door. A lady for him
and one for Mr. Frank. Mr. Frank was alone there once, that was
Thanksgiving day. I watched for him. He was a woman came there
Thanksgiving Day, she was a tall, heavy built lady. I stayed
down there and watched the door just as he told me the last

I came there sometime between 10 and 10:30. I saw Mr. Frank
as he passed by me, I was standing on the corner, he was coming
up Forsyth Street toward Nelson Street. He was going to Mon-
tags' factory. While I was there on the corner he
said, "Ha, ha, you are here, is yer." And I says, "Yes, sir, I
am right here, Mr. Frank." He says, "Well, wait until I go to
the factory. It won't be many long. I'll be right back." I says,
