lounge, sofa, cot or bed in the whole factory. I found two
boxes down in the basement in Clark Woodenware side of old
dirty, rotten stuff, too dirty & rotten for a human being to
rest upon. It's boggy in there. They had on top of them some
dirty, filthy, nasty erouse sacks. There is no lounge, bed,
sofa or anything of the sort in the metal room. I have never
seen a chair in there. I have never seen any blood under the
machine that Barrett claims he found hair on. I never saw any
blood on the place the negro claims the little girl's body was
lying. You can get into the metal room either from the front
or the back if the back door is open. You can lock the back door
from the inside. There is a cross bar across the door. The
rule was to keep it locked, but a great many times I found it
unlocked. It was very dark around the elevator on the first
floor on April 26th. It was a cloudy day and darker then
usual because the front doors were closed. It's too dark to stand
on the outside and see through the elevator. I left the factory
with Mr. Frank on his way to Montag Brothers. I never saw Jim
Conley that day. I never saw Mr. Frank talk to him or speak to
him or come into contact with him in any way that day. I have
never goosed or pinched Jim Conley or jollied with him. I
kicked him when I caught him loafing, and sometimes I would take
a piece of board to him and he would laugh ever' time I did it.
I have never seen Mr. Frank goose or pinch him or play with him
or jolly him. No, I never knew Daisy Hopkins. I have never
seen Dalton until this morning. From June 1912, until
January 1913, I left the factory at twelve o'clock on Saturdays,
and usually came back between five and six. I did that most
every Saturday during the two years that I have been there.
