in the presence of Mr. J. V. Darley and Mr. Herbert Schiff.
I told him that I expected that he had seen what had happened
at the Pencil Factory by reading the newspapers and knew all
the details. He said he didn't read the newspapers and didn't
know the details, so I sat down and gave him all the details
that I could, and in addition I told him something which Mr.
Darley had that afternoon communicated to me, viz: that Mrs.
White had told him that on going into the factory at about 12
o'clock noon on Saturday April 26th, she had seen some negro
down by the elevator shaft. Mr. Darley had told me this and
I just told this to Mr. Scott. After I told Mr. Scott all
that I could, I took him around the building, took him first
back to the metal room and showed him the place where the hair
had been found, looked at the machinery and at the lathe,
looked at the table on which the lathe stands, and the lathe
bed and the floor underneath the lathe, and there wasn't a
spot, much less a blood spot underneath. I showed him the other
spot in front of the dressing room, and I took him to the fourth
floor and showed him where I had found White and Denham a little
before one the first time and about three the second time.
Then I took him down into the basement and made a thorough
search of the basement, and that included an examination of the
elevator well which was at the bottom of the elevator shaft,
and I noticed Mr. Scott was foraging around down there and he
picked up two or three or may be four articles and put them in
his pocket, and one of them I specially noticed was a piece
of cord exactly like that which had been found around the
little girl's neck. We then went back and I showed him
where the officer said the slipper had been found, the hat had
been found and the little girl's body was located. I showed
him everything that the officers had showed me.
