HELEN FERGUSON, Sworn for the Movant.
I was employed at the National Pencil Company. I knew Mr. Frank very well when I
saw him. I also knew Mary Phagan far about a year. I never saw him
Mr.Frank address Mary Phagan by name, and I never saw him
talking to her in any friendly manner. During my employment at
the factory, I never saw Mr.Frank drinking with women in his of-
fice. On the Saturday preceding the murder, I was on the second
floor of the factory and Jim Conley said to me "help yourself,
take all the boxes you want". I was stooping over at the time
Conley addressed me and he kept getting closer to me and made a
motion as though he intended to grab hold of me. I was very much
frightened, and ran away as fast as possible. I will always believe
that the said Jim Conley intended to grab me and I was very much
afraid of him.

MRS. CORA L. LEEPEW, Sworn for the Movant.
I was present in the metal room at the National Pencil Company's
factory on Monday, April 28th, 1913, when some strands of hair
were found on a certain lathe and which were sought to be identi-
fied as the hair of Mary Phagan. I was well acquainted with Mary
Phagan and with the color of her hair. The hair before mentioned
was not the hair of Mary Phagan. It was entirely too light in col-
or. Among those present at the time were Mrs. Georgia Denham, R.P.
Barrett, Cora Falbe, Marjorie McCord and Jimmie Mayfield.

MARJORIE MCCORD - MARK FIRKA, Sworn for the Movant. We
were well acquainted with Cora Lavender Jeffers. Her character
for truth and veracity is good and we would believe her on oath
in a court of law.
