Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

ry. I was forelady at the factory for about three years.
MISS SARAH BARNES, Sworn for the defendant.
I worked at the pencil factory over four years. His character is good. I have never heard anything bad. He has been the best of men.
CROSS EXAMINATION. No one ever talked to me about what I was going to swear. I have told Mr. Arnold what I have told here. I never went with Mr. Frank for any immoral purpose anywhere.
MISS IRINE JACKSON. Sworn for the defendant.
I worked at the pencil factory for three years. So far as I know Mr. Frank's character was very well. I don't know anything about him. He never talked anything to me. I have never met Mr. Frank at any time for any immoral purpose.
CROSS EXAMINATION. I am the daughter of County Policeman Jackson. I never heard the girls say anything about him, except that they seemed to be afraid of him. They never would notice him at all. They would go to work when they saw him coming. Miss Emily Mayfield and I were undressing in the dressing room once when Mr. Frank came in the door. He looked, turned around and walked out. He just came to the door, pushed it open, he smiled or made some kind of face. Miss Mayfield had her top dress off and had her old dress in her hand to put it on. I told Mr. Darley I would not quit unless my father made me, and he said if the girls will stick to Frank they won't lose anything. I heard some remarks two or three times about Mr. Frank going in the dressing room on different occasions, but I don't remember anything about it. The second time I heard of his going in the dressing room was when my sister was laying down there, she had her feet on a stool. She was dressed. I was in there at the time. He just walked in and turned and walked out. Mr. Frank walked in the dressing room on Miss Mamie Kitchens when I was in there. He never said anything the three times he walked in when I was there. The dressing room has a mirror and a few lockers for the foreladies. That's the only thing that I have ever seen Mr. Frank do, go in the dressing room and stare at the girls. I have heard them speak of other times when I was not there.
