lady answered the telephone. I got them in a few minutes. I
tried to get Mr. Frank again about five o'clock - Central said
she rang and she couldn't get him. There was some blood on
the girl's underclothes.

CROSS EXAMINATION.

There was a wound on the left-hand side of the girl's head
The blood was dried up. It was wet right next to the skin.
Lee said over the telephone that it was a white girl. It
took us about three minutes to get to the factory from the
police station, just as quick as the automobile could get us
there. We got there inside of five minutes after I received
his telephone message. Lee had a smoky lantern. You couldn't
see very far with it. It was smoked up right smart. Lee said
he had been to the closet and had his lantern sitting down
there and he looked over and saw the lady. He said he saw her
while he was standing up. I said he couldn't see her. You
could see the bulk of anything that far, but you couldn't
tell that far whether it was a person. He told me when I first
got him that he had his lantern sitting down right in front
of him. The body was lying sort of cornered and on the
left side of the body I saw a number of tracks which lead from
the body to the shaving room. There is an opening from the
place where the body lay into the shaving room. I found a pencil
down there. There are plenty of pencils and trash in the base-
ment. The trash was all up next to the boiler.

H. L. PARRY, sworn in behalf of the State.

jury. I have been a stenographer for thirty years and considered
an expert.
