Further deposing, deponent says that she is acquainted with
Leo M.Frank and also R.P.Barrett, and knew Mary Phagan well, and
knew the color of her hair.
Further deposing, deponent says that on Monday, April 28th,
she was at the National Pencil Factory, and Magnolia Kennedy called
her attention to the hair on a corner machine that R.P.Barrett
was alleged to have found there, and at that time she gave it as
her opinion that the hair on the machine was not that of
Mary Phagan, as it was entirely too light to be the hair of said
Mary Phagan.
Deponent now states that she is most positive that the hair she
saw on the machine could not have been Mary Phagan's hair
and that the hair on the machine was much lighter in color than
the hair of Mary Phagan.
Deponent further states that during her entire employment at
the factory, she never saw Mr.Frank joking with any of the female
employees, or talking in any rude or vulgar manner with any of them; and
deponent further states that she never heard any girl or woman
say that Mr.Frank had ever made any advances toward any of them.
Deponent says that she makes this statement of her own free
will and accord, and without any promise of reward. Aside from
this deponent sayeth not.

B.D. THOMAS, Sworn for the Movant. I am Chief Judge of the
Municipal Court of Atlanta. On January 19, 1914, C.W. Burke, a
Notary Public for Fulton County, Georgia called me at my office in
the Temple Court Building in the City of Atlanta, accompanied by
a negro who swore that his name was Albert McKnight. I attested
the affidavit that said Albert McKnight had signed and sworn to on
said date above mentioned, and said affidavit was read to said
Albert McKnight, who said that every word of it was the truth.
I read the affidavit referred to and identify my signature and at-
testation affixed thereto.

C.W. BURKE, Sworn for the Movant. It is not true that I promised
Albert McKnight to get him a job at the Terminal Station where he
could make $10.00 per week and that the tips he would get around
there would average $100.00 per month. I did not ask Albert McKnight
