and Mrs.Maud Bailey left Mrs.Barrett at the grocery store and we
caught a Stewart Avenue car at the corner of Mitchell and Forsyth
Streets. As we were about to catch the car we heard the 12 o'clock
whistles blow. When I got home it was twenty minutes past 12
o'clock. About a week after the death of Mary Phagan, I was talking
to Mrs.Barrett on the corner of Wells and Stewart Ave. I asked her
what she thought of the murder, as to who was guilty and she stated
that she believed Mr.Frank was guilty and I remarked that she would
have to go to court to testify in the case and she stated that she could
not help that. Job or no job she had to tell the truth. I had a
conversation with Maud Bailey about a week after this occurrence.
Miss Maud stated that she knew a lot about the pencil factory and
that she thought Mr.Frank guilty, and if she was had to testify she
would say that she believed Mr.Frank was guilty. Last Saturday

back to work at the pencil factory, saying that they would give her

daughter Mrs.Maud Bailey going on two years. They lived next door

Mae Barrett or Mrs.Maud Bailey that is good or bad. I do know that
it is generally known that Mrs.Mae Barrett drinks whiskey and gets
drunk at times. I have heard Mrs.Maud Bailey on several occasions
speak to my children of knowing Mary Phagan and how pretty she was
and what pretty hair she had. I have stated these facts to nobody
and would not have stated it now if it hadn't been for the fact
that I read a newspaper account of the evidence purported to hav
been given in the shape of an affidavit by Mrs.Maud Bailey. I kno
that this statement as to the time of her being at the pencil fact-
ory was false. I know that she was with me and she was obliged to
know that what she stated was not the truth.
