was right in front of me. - I said, "I will be ready in a minute" and he went downstairs and I come to the office and put on my coat and hat and followed him and went down. When I went out, talking to Newt Lee was J.M.Gantt, a man that was fired about two weeks ago. Newt Lee told me he wanted to get in to get a pair of shoes he had left there. I went and told Mr. Frank, and Mr. Frank said to me, "What does he want?" and I said "that's all right, and he has been here for a long time and went on home, and I got home about 6:25. Nothing else happened that's all I know. I don't know what time Gantt come down, but I went up. I saw him go in and I looked the door after him, but I didn't try them. I telephoned Newt. I tried to telephone him when I got home, he punches the clock at half hour intervals, and the clock and the phone is in the office, and I didn't get an answer and at 7 o'clock I called him and asked him if Gantt got his shoes and he said yes, he got them all right. I said is everything all right and he said yes, and I told him I would be down at 7:30 the next morning, and he said all right. I have been in the habit of letting the watchman in our watchman, I have never heard of it. I never had any complaint against any watchman about it. As to whether any of our employees go there at night, Gantt did when he was working there, he had a key and sometimes he would have some work left over. I never have seen him go out until I go out, I go out and come back, but he has gone back before I left, but that is part of his duty. I took a bath Saturday night at my home. I changed my clothes, the clothes that I changed are the same clothes I had on Saturday. After I left the shop I went to Jacob's Pharmacy and bought a box of candy for my wife and got home about 6:25.
