OCR. I was present when the stenographer took down the questions propounded to both Mrs. Maude Bailey and Mrs. May Barrett. I told the Solicitor General as to what Mrs. Maud Bailey had stated to me before he began questioning her. As Mrs. May Barrett went to leave the office of the Solicitor General she saw sitting in the office her niece, Mrs. Mary Phagan, and Mrs. Barrett said in substance to her daughter, "You told a pack of lies."

S. L. ROSSER. Sworn for the State. I have read over the above and foregoing as signed by Deputy Sheriff Plennie Minor. The recitals of fact as contained therein are true.

MRS. T. D. MORRIS. Sworn for the State. I am personally acquainted with Mrs. May Barrett.

Three white men were standing out in front of the pencil company. While I was standing in front of this building two ladies came down and went across Forsyth up Hunter St. One was a tall lady and the other was low and chunky. There was a tall, slim negro sitting on the inside of the door and he came out and sat down by the side of the negro who I first saw sitting on a box in front of the factory.

I remained in front of the pencil factory until Mrs. Barrett and Mrs. Bailey came down. I
