ward hair which was alleged to have been found by Barrett on the lathe, and the said Cora Falta states positively that the hair on said lathe was not the hair of Mary Phagan, and that the same was entirely too light in color and was not of the same texture as that of Mary Phagan, and places in lieu thereof the following; "that she was working at the National Pencil Co., for five years past; that she was acquainted with Mr. Frank and also R. P. Barrett, and knew Mary Phagan quite well and knew the color of her hair; that, on Monday, April 28, 1913, she was in the pencil factory and Magnolia Kennedy called her attention that R. P. Barrett was alleged to have found some hair on a lathing machine; that, at that time, she gave it as her positive opinion that the hair found on the machine was not the hair of Mary Phagan, as it was entirely too light in color to be the hair of Mary Phagan. The said Cora Falta now states that she is most positive that the hair saw on the machine could not have possibly been Mary Phagan's hair and that the hair on the machine was much lighter in color than the hair of Mary Phagan.

The defendant further amends paragraph 4 by striking therefrom the following: "That she was an employee of the National Pencil Company, and was acquainted with Mary Phagan, and knew the color of her hair; that on Monday, April 28th, 1913, her attention was called to some hair that was alleged to have been found on a lathe by R. P. Barrett; and that the said Alice Marjory McCord states positively that the hair on said lathe was not the hair of Mary Phagan, and that the same was entirely too light in color and was not of the same texture as that of Mary Phagan" and places in lieu thereof the following; that on Monday April 28th, 1913, her attention was called to some hair that was on a lathe machine on the second floor of the National Pencil Factory; that she examined said hair very closely; that she knew Mary Phagan during her time of employment at the factory and knew the color of her hair; and she states that, in her opinion, the hair found on the lathe machine was not that of Mary Phagan, as it was much too light to be the hair of Mary Phagan.
