MRS. MINNIE WILSON, Sworn for the State. On the 26th day of April 1913, I saw Mrs. Maude Bailey at 122 Wells St., my husband's place of business. Mrs. Bailey came into the office and asked permission to use the telephone and we told her she could use it. Whoever it was she was talking to, she called the Swift Soap Works, where she worked at the time, and she evidently told that person she was through with her money for her reply was, "I can't come up there for I am sick and I will send an order", and I said to her after she got through talking, what do you want to be lying to them for, you know you are not sick, and she said "I am always sick". A girl named Florence Earnest came into the store with Mrs. Bailey, and after Mrs. Bailey had talked awhile, she let Florence Earnest talk over the phone and Mrs. Bailey had a pair of new shoes with her and while the other girl was talking, she (Mrs. Bailey) tried on one of the shoes. All this happened a little before twelve o'clock, noon, and then Mrs. Bailey went out of our place, and in about 15 or 20 minutes she came back and asked to use the phone again, and she called the Swift Soap Works and talked to Mr. Newcomb and she seemed to be quarrelling with Mr. Newcomb. She told him to meet her at twelve thirty or as soon thereafter as possible to meet the parade. I know Mrs. Bailey's general character or reputation. That character is bad and I would not believe her on oath.

Arthur White, at the top of the stairway on the second floor of the National Pencil Factory on Saturday, April 26, 1913, the day Mary Phagan was killed, between 11:30 and 12 o'clock, I know it was that time because I came out before 12. While standing there, May Barrett came down the steps from the floor above and met Maud Bailey on the second floor and they went on down the steps toward the front door. I immediately followed down. I saw them leave the office as I went down.
