o'clock. We never had any wo-
men up in the offiee. Paid off the
help on Friday, April 25th; re-
member paying Helen Ferguson
that day. Nobody came up to ask
for Mary Phagan’s pay. We
had posters all over the factory
that Saturday would be a legal
holiday and the factory would
tbe closed; intended to eome back
to the factory Saturday morning,
put oversiept.

Cross-examined. Mrz. Frank,
when they telephoned him about
the murder, asked had there been
a fire at the factory; reason. be
was nervous, he said, he hadn't
had any breakfast, be wanted a
cup of coffee. .

Joel C. Hunter. Am a public
acesuntant. I have examined the
financial sheot said to be made by
Leo M. Frank; to find out how
Jong it would take a person to
make out these reports, I went
through the ealeulations. I
found them correct within a deci-
mal. The quickest possible time
to make out this report, balance
the cash, make out the compara
tive statements and the copies of
‘which they furnished me, is 150
minutes,

Cross-eramined, A man’s fa-
miliarity with a special elass of
work will aid materially in mak-
ing it up. If be had had to
get. up the information which
was furnished me it would take
him a good deal longer than it
did me, for the information was
already furnished me; have al-
lowed for his experience and fa-
milarity with the business, in
the way of saving time, in mak-
ing my estimate; have tried to
make my figures sufficiently con-
servative to make allowance for
aman in charge of the work;
think it will be wonderful to

make it in lees than that A
man who could make it out and
verify it as he went along would
take the whole afternoon.

€. E. Pollard. Am an expert
accountant; was called in for the
purpose of seeing the length of
time it would take to gather these
figures and get the result on the
finaneial sheet and other papers
that were furnished me, The
minimom time that I could do
that work in I found to be 3
hours and 11 minutes.

Hattie Hall, Am a steno-
grapher for the National Pencil
Company in the offiee of Mon-
teg Bros. Whenever it is neces-
sary I go down to the National
Peneil factory and do work
there; saw Mr, Frank about 10,
April 26th, st Moniag Bros,
when he asked me to come over
and easist him at his office. I
went over to the faetory between
10:30 and 11. Several people
came in while wa were working,
two men, one whose son worked
there eame in and spoke to Mr.
Frank about the boy's being in
some trouble in the police court.
They went into the inner office to
talk to him and he eame out to
the outer office with them, Misa
Corinthia Hall and Mrs. White
alao came in there in Mr. Frank’s
