came there, he told him that it would not be necessary for him
to work just at that time, that he could go out on
the street and enjoy himself for four hours, then come out to
the factory at 6 o'clock in the evening from 6 to 6:30, and
o'clock. Frank stated that he went on duty and worked until six
lee returned at 6 o'clock, went on duty and frank left the building
at about 6:15. On his way out he saw lee sitting on a packing
box outside the door of the factory talking to a man by the name
of Gantt. Lee told Frank what Gantt was staying there for, and
after considering allowed Gantt to come upstairs for a pair of
shoes which he had left there the day before. Gantt then stated he
left to stay with lee while he did so. Frank then continued until
he left, which he said that lee did not remain long after he left
home. He said that he became worried about 7 o'clock, in his
building, knowing that he had discharged him for some kind of
fault. He continued to worry about it until he telephoned the build-
ing and therefore called up Newt Lee on the telephone at 7:30, as
he knew it was the time for lee to punch the clock at that hour,
and he would hear the telephone ring inside of the office while
he made the call. The clock, although I am not sure, I think he said
he made the call at 7:30. When lee answered the phone and talked
to him, and he told him to go over and look at the building and see
if everything was all right. Lee replied that he had already
looked. I can't had left the building. Lee replied, "Yes, Frank
then asked him if everything else was all right, to which Lee re-
plied "Yes", and he hung up the receiver and at about 9 the night
he retired to go to bed; and I believe now that that is the extent
of my interview with Mr. Frank. ...............
Q. Yes, I am working in the interest of the National Pencil Co.
to find out who is responsible for the murder. Mr. Black and I
requested that he go through with this private interview with Lee and
endeavor to get any information that he might be withheld from
either of us or the detective department, and told Mr. Frank to
impress upon Lee the importance of telling the whole truth in the
matter, and do whatever he could to persuade Lee to tell the ab-
solute truth in the matter. Mr. Frank said he understood, and we
sent him in to talk to Lee. I have no way of knowing what
frank said; they were both together privately in the room there, and
we had no way of knowing except what Lee told us afterwards."

DEFENDANT'S EXHIBIT 92

Harry Scott's report to the Pinkerton Agency, as follows:

"Mr. Frank stated that on Saturday, April 26th, 1913, the factory
of the National Pencil Company was closed down, and that only two
of the employees reported for work, namely, Mary Phagan and
Lemmie Quinn. He stated that he had been at the factory on the 4th
floor, and that he and Frank had talked to the girl on the 4th floor
until about 12 M. and that at 12:10 P.M., a girl employee of the
factory, named Mary Phagan, called at the office for Mr. Frank for
her wages, and she received $1.20, either in a one dollar bill and
two dimes, or two half dollars and two dimes. Mr. Frank personally
handed this girl her wages after which the manager of the factory
Frank's office and walked towards the door of the office adjoining
Mr. Frank's office, which leads into the metal department, and as she
went to the door Frank said 'Good-bye' and she had disappeared yet
when he, Mr. Frank replied 'Good-bye' and the girl had went out of
the factory, as far as Mr. Frank knows, as she did not see anything
of her during the afternoon, about 12 o'clock noon, Miss J.A.
White entered the factory and went to the top floor where her hus-
band, J.A. White was working, and at 12:45 P.M., Mrs. Frank went to
the 4th floor and in the presence of Mrs. White told Denham and
White that he was going to lock the doors and Mrs. White then left
the factory, but White and Denham informed Mr. Frank that they had
not finished their work and Mr. Frank then told them to remain until
4-37
