the fourth floor and I had nothing to do with the boxes on the
second floor. On Saturday mornings the factory would close at
about 11:45 A.M. and I was always busy at my work cleaning up the
fourth floor so as to be able to get off promptly at closing hour.
This box room is immediately off a small aisle from a large
working room where about fifteen ladies are at work and it is also
within 50 or 60 feet of the office where the entire office force
is and at the other end of the hall within about 50 or 60 feet
is the metal department where a number of people work and if I had
made such an attack against Miss Ferguson, I would have done it with
full knowledge that one scream from her would summon a large number
of people. I never heard of any such charge against me before and
Miss Ferguson never complained about what she says.
14TH GROUND
C. B. DALTON, Sworn for the State: I have just read over the report
of my testimony as contained in the brief of evidence approved by
Judge Roan in that trial and every word of my evidence is the ab-
solute truth. That evidence is as follows:
"I know Leo M. Frank, Daisy Hopkins and Jim Conley. I have visited
the National Pencil Company three or four times. I have been in
in the office of Leo M. Frank two or three times. I have been down
in the basement. I don't know whether Mr. Frank knew I was in the
basement or not, but I know I was there. I saw Conley there and the
night watchman, and he was not Conley, there would be some ladies
in Mr. Frank's office. Sometimes there would be two, and sometimes
one. Maybe they didn't work in the buildings and they would be there
in the evening.
CROSS EXAMINATION. I don't recollect the first time I was
in Mr. Frank's office. Mr. Frank is tall. I have been down there one
time this year, with Miss Daisy Hopkins. I was Saturday evening.
I went in there with Miss Daisy Hopkins. There were some ladies
sometimes there would be two and sometimes more. I don't recollect the next time I
was in the stenographer or not. I don't recollect but I have been
in there. Every time I was in Mr. Frank's office was before Christmas.
Miss Daisy Hopkins introduced me to him. I saw Conley there one
time this year and several times on Saturday evenings. Mr. Frank
wasn't there the last time. Conley was sitting there at the front
door. When I went down the ladies Miss Daisy went with me. We went
back over the crack pile in the basement. I saw an old cot and a
stretcher. I have been in Atlanta for ten years. I have never been
away over a week at a time. I have been in Mr. Frank's office in the afternoon
three or four times since the first of October. It was very light in
there. I went in the first time near the first of September and
December. I saw a negro night watchman there between September and
December. I lived in Walton County for twenty years. I came right
here from Walton County. I was born in Walton County once for
two or three years and lived in Lawrenceville. I have walked home
from the factory with Miss Emma Clarke and Miss Smith.
RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION. I gave Jim Conley a half dozen or more
questions. I have been in Mr. Frank's office in the day time. Mr. Frank
and Miss Daisy Hopkins were in his office in the office. I never saw
the ladies in his office doing any work in the office. I never saw
RECALLED FOR CROSS EXAMINATION. I am writing.
John Dalton is my first cousin. Andrew Dalton is my brother-in-law.
I am the Dalton that went to the
