Deponent says that, after making application to Miss Flowers for a position,Miss Nellie immediately left the factory; and eaponent is sure that Miss Nellie did not at any time come in contact with Mr. Frank and is further sure that if she had seen him in the factory, she would not have known him, as deponent had never etther seen or pointed out Mr. Frank to her, and Miss Nellie had never told deponent that she knew Mr. Frank. Deponent also says that Miss Nellie never stated to her that she had been in the factory by Mr. Frank, or anyone else, and says further that at the time she ever heard Miss Nellie say that Mr.Frank had insulted her was on the first visit of Detective Bass Risser at her home and case of Oliver Street, when Mr. Rosser had called upon deponent asking her to swear against Mr. Frank; and says that during the conversation between deponent and Mr. Rosser, that Miss Nellie was present and interrupted the conversation by stating to Mr. Rosser that she Rosser immediately asked Mr. Frank. Deponent says that Mr. Rosser then turned to Miss Nellie and asked her what she and Miss Nellie tell Mr. Rosser that, on one occasion when she heard Misses by deponent to the Pencil Factory, she met a woman she had been sent for by Mr. Frank, who took her to Mr. Frank's office, and that Mr. Frank had winked at her and asked her: "How about a little?" and that there was another man with Mr. Rosser, on the occasion of the conversation referred to; that she does not know who this man was but that he took a statement from Miss Nellie which was signed by Miss Nellie in deponent's presence. Deponent further says that after Miss Nellie made the statement to Mr. Rosser, she left the room and went into another room with him and was gone some time, home, she said to Bass Risser and deponent: "It is very peculiar that you never while at the Pencil Factory." Deponent says that Miss Nellie replied that she had decided to keep the matter to herself and admitted that she never mentioned it before telling it to deponent and to Rosser.
