GROUND 1-o. GEORCIA DEKHAH, Sworn for the Movants. I was present
in the metal room at the National Penoll Company's plant on Monday
April 28th,1913, when some strands of hair were found upon a cor-
tain lathe, and which were sought to be identifled as the hair of
Mary Phagan, deceased. I was well acquainted with the deceased
Mary Phagan, and with the color of her hair, and the hair above
mentioned was not the hair of Mary Phagan. It was entirely too
light in color to have been from the head of the deceased Mary
Phagan. Mary Phagan's hair was of an auburn hue, while that
found on the lathe was more blonde. Among those present were Mrs.
Cora Lavender, R.P.Barrett, Cora Falta, Marjorie McCord, Miss
Jimmie Mayfield. Some of my associates are Miss Mary Park, Miss
Jimmie Mayfield, and Annie Howell.
GROUND 1-d. AHNIE MAUDE GARNER, Sworn for the Movant. I was put
in jail in Atlanta, about six months, beginning October 7,1913,
until March 9,1914. I was bound over to the Tower on the 7th day
of October,1913, and given fifteen years on the 15th of October,
1913. Then I got a new trial on the 7th day of March, and I made
bond on the 9th day of March, and I had a trial on next Monday,
March 16th. The court costs were paid, and that settled it. It
was $42.05. I paid the nolle prosequi, amounting to $42.05. Dur-
ing the time I was in jail, there was a man named James Conley.
I met him in the court house at the time of my first trial. I saw
him often in the jail. His cell was the first north and mine was
the third west. I worked for the Sheriff on the run-around. I did
the laundry. I saw James Conley every day. I got very friendly
with him. I got friendly enough with him for him to ask me to marry
him. I received letters from him. I got letters from him for this
reason: I went to his cell and was talking to him from the corridor
and the sheriff's cook told them that I was there talking to him,
and the sheriff had given orders not to let anybody in there talking
to him except his attorneys, so they gave orders for me to be locked
up for talking to him, so that is how I come to be getting letters.
I was locked up. I got the letters from him during the week that I
was locked up. I couldn't count the number of letters I got. At
one o'clock, I could go downstairs while they were moving the jail,
and talk to him, while the men were out, and when I couldn't go
