On Wednesday I said the same thing and he answered the same thing.
On Thursday when I said that to him again he said, "No, I ain't
done nothing." I said, "Jim, you know Mr. Frank never did that,"
and he says, "No, Mr. Frank is as innocent as you is, and I know
you is." I said, "Jim, whenever they find the murderer of Mary
Phagan it's going to be that nigger that was sitting near the ele-
vator when Mrs. White went upstairs. He laid his broom down then
and went out." I would not believe Conley on oath.

CROSS EXAMINATION.
My daughter and I work on the fourth floor. Mr. Frank was
up on the fourth floor Tuesday between nine and eleven o'clock.
Everybody in the department was around there at that time. I don't
know whether any of them heard the conversation between me and Mr.
Frank then. I saw both Mr. Frank and Jim Conley on the fourth
floor on Tuesday. I did not see Mr. Frank whisper to Conley.
Mr. Frank never said a word to any of us about sticking to him.
He said it was a deplorable thing little Mary's being killed. I
have seen blood in the dressing room around the lockers and some
around the mirror. I have seen girls mash their fingers
on the machines. I have seen blood on the sink in the toilet
room and on the machines where they cut their fingers. I saw a
spot about as big as my hand sometime last year on the fourth
floor near a garbage can. It looked like blood to me. I have
seen spots about as big as my finger, different spots up on the
fourth floor. I have seen girls once or twice come in with
their fingers mashed come into the toilet room and go to the sink
after they had mashed their fingers. I don't know when I heard
that Mrs. White said that she had seen a negro sitting on the box.
I think I read it in the paper sometime that week. The big spot
of blood I was talking about was occasioned by the girls whose
sickness was on them. I have never seen Mr. Frank or anybody
else sit down at the office at any time drinking beer.
