man of good moral character and credibility and we would believe

H. G. SCHIER, N. V. DARLEY, sworn for the State. On
April 26, 1913, we were connected with the National Pencil Company
as assistant superintendent and head foreman respectively. We
now act as superintendent and head foreman respectively. We are
familiar with the order blanks in said factory and make this
affidavit with respect to the four books attached, marked 1, 2,
3 and 4. Book #1 is an ordinary pad such as is in use at the
present time at the factory, and was in use on April 26, 1913, -
It consists of alternate white and yellow sheets, the white sheet
being the original and the other sheet being carbon copies, the
practice being to insert a piece of carbon sheet between the
white and yellow sheet at the time of writing the order. Books
2, 3 and 4 are order pad books similar to book 1 with the exception
that they have already been used, whereas book 1 is new and unused,
that is to say books 2, 3 and 4 have had orders written in them
and torn out. The figures on the date line, commencing "Atlanta,
Ga." are figures representing the date of the orders as made. The
figures on the line commencing with the word "number" represent
the order of the number as made and the writing below is, in each
case, the order itself, that is to say a specification of the
goods ordered. The initials found on the yellow sheets are those
of the persons making the order for the National Pencil Company.
The books 2, 3 and 4 represent a period extending from March 12,
1913 to April 29, 1913.
