in the basement of the Capitol Building. He went there and found
Mr.Dorsey there and talked with him for a few minutes. He also saw
Dr.Harris and Mr.Dorsey there. After completing his interview of
a few minutes with Mr.Dorsey, he became interested in some experi-
ments that were being conducted, a friend and neighbor of his, Dr.
Fort, being engaged with Dr. Patillo, also a friend of his, in
certain experiments that were then being conducted. A portion of
the time, he was engaged in eating some watermelon, his friend,
Dr Patillo had given him. Dr. Harris, Dr. Dorsey and the Solici-

Department, in the office of Dr.Harris, which is across the entrance
hall from the room in which the experiments were being conducted.

statement was that he spoke to Dr.Dorsey about a comparison that
he (Dr.Harris) had made of the hair taken from the lathe and some
hair Dr.Harris had taken from the head of Mary Phagan. He told Dr.
Dorsey that he had made a large number of sections and had com-
pared them to try and find out whether or not the two hairs came
from the same head, that is the head of Mary Phagan. Dr.Harris
told Dr.Dorsey that he had the sections there and that if Dr.
Dorsey desired, Dr. Harris is perfectly willing for him to also

Dorsey stated that he did not care to examine the sections of
