from the regulation order pad or order book-of the National
Pencil Company (State's Ex. ZJ, the sheet was a yellow sheet
with black ruling on it, and certain black printing at the
top. These are the two notes, (indicating papers.)
At the top of these notes where it showed the series and date,
and you can see it has either been worn out or rubbed out, but
the date was originally on there, and down below here is the
serial numbers now, both of those notes were written as though
they had been written through a piece of carbon paper and the
date said Jan. 8th, 1911; the order number is so faint or

no trace of a date on this one at all, but it was there dis-
tinctly visible when Mr. Schiff and myself looked at it. We
continued answering any questions that the detectives wished to
put to us looking to a possible solution of the mystery, when
Mr. Darley came in and said if they didn't want him any fur-

Mr. Schiff had an appointment to meet some friends of his at
the Union Depot that afternoon, and it was a little too early,
so we took a walk around by the Pencil Factory, walking up
Alabama to Forsyth Street and down Forsyth Street on the side
opposite from the factory, to the corner of Hunter and For-
syth, where we noticed the morbid crowd that had collected
out in front of the factory; we stood there about a minute or
two and then continued walking, and then went up East Hunter
to the corner of Whitehall to the
321.
