DR WM. OWENS, sworn for the defendant.

I am a physician. I am also engaged in the real estate bus-
iness. At the request of the defence I went through certain expe-
riments in the pencil factory to ascertain how long it would take to
go through Jim Conley's movements relative to moving the body of
Mary Phagan. I kept the time while the other men were going through

close to little dressing room in the metal department, he let the

put her on Conley, Frank was nervous and trembling too, and after
walking a few steps, Frank let her feet drop; then they picked her
up and went to the elevator and sat her on the elevator, and Frank
pulled down the cords, and the elevator wouldn't go, and Frank said:
'Wait, let me go in the office and get the key' and Frank goes in
the office and gets a key and comes back and unlocks the storage
box, and after that he started the elevator down; the elevator went
down to the basement, and Frank said 'come on', and he opened the
door that led direct to the basement in front of the elevator, and
