her to close the door on her mother when she went to go out and
tell her to stay there. I did not talk to Mr.Edmonson, the step-
father of this little girl, right there. I never saw him but once
in my life. I did not talk to Dr. Claude Smith, the city Bacteriolog-
ist. I did not talk to the two doctors who were employed by the
defense to ascertain whether or not that was blood on the second
floor. I did not get their names or know anything about their re-
ports. I made a thorough inquiry about it. I made an investigation
at the factory and the witnesses attached to the factory. I did
not talk to Moll Stanford, Mrs. Jefferson, or R.P.Barrett. I did not
find out from Frank who that was present with him when he got down
on his knees and examined those blood spots. I never heard of it.
I never saw Duffy in my life, and didn't discuss that with him. I
don't know him. I never interviewed him. I never talked to Newt
Lee. I examined the blood spots on the first floor, where they
chipped up. I did not examine the blood spots down in the area
where Jim Conley is said to have been sitting, but I had an inter-
view with Mr.MoWorth & Mr.Whitfield, and they told me what they had
found and then we examined some spots still there, where they
said they had been chipped up there. I think Whitfield has been
working for me. I did not take him into my employ, Mr.Sears did.
I talked to him about those blood spots. I did not have an analysis
made of them, I never saw those chipped up from there. I never saw
those around the elevator area; they were turned over to the
Pinkertons and thrown away. It is my understanding that they were
turned over to the Pinkertons. I have been there and seen the
floor. There was something chipped up there, on the street floor
near the scuttle hole. I know what Mr.Whitfield and Mr.MoWorth told
me, that they chipped them up and turned them over to Scott, or
Pierce, I forget which, of the Pinkertons. MoWorth is now an assist-
ant at my office. He is retained to handle all matters. I saw the
club MoWorth and Whitfield reported to me. I saw it in Mr.Haas'
office, and there was blood on it. I am more capable of looking at
a man and saying he is a pervert, than looking at spots and tell
they are blood or not blood. My next business engagement is out in
186 Oklahoma, Oklahoma City. I will return here in about ten days.
