As he read it he kinder grinned. He told me he believed Mr.
Frank was just as innocent as the angels from Heaven. I
know his general character. He was never known totellthe truth.
I would not believe him on oath.

CROSS EXAMINATION

I saw the dark red spots by the water cooler in the metal
room where they had chipped up something. Something white was
dropped all over it. The spots did not look like they had been
smeared over. Looked like a plain drop of blood. I think it
was paint because there was paint used there all the time. They
asked me soon after the murder about the general character of
Frank. They asked me if I knew anything against his character
and I told them no. They generally spoke well of him. They
always spoke good of him. I have always heard him spoken of in
the highest terms. I have never heard him accused of any act
of immorality or familiarity with the girls in the factory. Jim
Conley got two papers from me on Tuesday and Wednesday. I bought
them. Jim always seemed to be kind of per vous or half drunk or
something. He did not arouse my suspicions until after he began
to read the papers and grin about them and comment on them. I
didn't see Mr. Frank speak to Conley on Tuesday. Conley was not
there. I am sure of that. Mr. Frank came up there twice. He came
up about 10 or 11 o'clock to see if everything was in good working order. He
spoke to Miss Carson and Mr. Darley and to a little boy. And
then went on down stairs. He came back in about fifteen or
twenty minutes to see if everything was going on alright. He
spoke to Miss Carson again about the work. He always came upstairs
to see if everything was going on alright.
