name was something like 'Stoll'. I am not sure about this name.
The affidavit stated that the maker was 28 years old; that he was
a citizen of Chicago, Ill. and said that he was with the Salvation
Army in Atlanta when the murder of Mary Phagan happened and was at
the rear of the National Pencil Factory's place of business on the
afternoon of April 26th, 1913. The affidavit said he left because
sentiment was so strong that he was afraid he would get into some
trouble. The affidavit stated that he told a detective about the
matters testified to in this office and that the detective's name
was 'Shott' or 'Scott'. That the detective said to him that he,
the detective, was running that business and for him to go ahead
and attend to his business, and that he, the detective, would look

afternoon of April 26th, 1913, a tall, black negro come out of the
back end of the pencil factory and go up to Hunter Street and buy
a lunch from an old negro woman and as he came out of the National
Pencil Factory he dropped a pocket book and a day book which he,
the said Stoll (or whoever he was) picked up. There was a pocket
book and a day book lying there on the table which Burns' son told
me was the one. It was a small, black pocket book, something like a
card case, and the day book was loose in the pocket book, black,
and had written in the back end of it the word 'Conley' plain, with
a little scratching before the word 'Conley'.
