"This hair and blood spot - to be discussed hereinafter - were found by Barrett early in the morning, and before any rewards had been offered. "In the photograph of the machine where the hair was found can be readily seen by reference to State's Exhibit A, page 30 (p.371) - and in connection with this State's Exhibit A we will remark that the photograph here is made from a newspaper cut. We presume, but certainly it is not from the exhibit which the State really had in court. It does not correspond in several particulars to the one used in court, but the location of the machine on which the hair was found is accurate."

MISS JIMMIE MAYFIELD, Sworn for the Movant. I worked at the National Pencil Factory in Atlanta, Georgia, for about eight months and knew Mr.Frank when I saw him. I was acquainted with Mary Phagan and knew the color of her hair. I know Mr.Barrett and on Monday, April 28th, Mr.Barrett showed me the hair he said he had found on a lathe machine. It is my positive opinion that the hair was entirely too light in color to be that of Mary Phagan's.

L. A. QUINN, BULA FLOWERS, H. G. SCHIFF, Sworn for the movant. We are acquainted with Miss Jimmie Mayfield. She was well acquainted with Mary Phagan in her lifetime. She could know the color of Mary Phagan's hair and by reason of seeing she hair claimed to have been found by the witness Barrett upon the second floor of the factory, she was in a position to determine whether the hair found by Barrett looked like Mary Phagan's hair, and was thereby enabled to form an opinion as to whether the hair of Mary Phagan and that found by Barrett were identical.
