defendant shut the door and disappeared; that said Mamie
Kitchene, when on the witness stand, only answered such questions
as were put to her by the Solicitor General or by Counsel for
defendant, but stated now that if she had been permitted to tell
the facts in her own way she could have told them exactly as she
told them in this her statement, that when defendant opened the
dressing room door and looked in an asked the girls
referred to if they did not have any work to do, that none
of them were in an exposed condition, but that said Mamie Kitchens
had removed her outside street skirt, but that her person was fully
protected by her underskirt and that while Miss Jackson had
removed a part of her clothing, just what part, said Mamie
Kitchens did not remember, the person of Miss Jackson was not
in any way exposed; that detective Bass Rosser called at said
Mamie Kitchen's home during the trial of defendant and inter-
viewed her, and asked her a great many embarrassing questions as
to what she knew against the character of defendant, and that
she stated she knew nothing that would in any way reflect
on defendant or his standing as a gentleman, and further told
him that so far as her personal knowledge of defendant was
concerned and so far as she had observed, he had always conducted
himself as a gentleman.

Defendant further shows that the Solicitor General endeavored
at the trial, to prove to the jury that the defendant was in
the habit of looking in on the girls as they were undressed in
the ladies dressing room, and on cross examination of Irene
Jackson showed that she and said Emily Mayfield were undressing
once when defendant came to the door; that defendant came to
the door, pushed it open, looked in, smiled and walked out;
that the defendant, had, on another instance walked in the dress-
ing room on Miss Mamie Kitchens while the said Irene Jackson
and the said Mamie Kitchens were in there. The Solicitor General
further proved by the said Mamie Kitchens that she was in the
dressing room with the said Irene Jackson when she was undressed
and that the defendant opened the door and stuck his head inside
that he did not knock, but just stood there and laughed.
