about half past ten. It sounded like a boy's voice. It said,
"Tell Mr. Schiff Mr. Frank wanted him at his office." Mr. Schiff
was asleep at the time. I waked him up and he said, "Tell Mr.
Frank I will be there as soon as I can get dressed." And I re-
peated the message to the boy and told him what Mr. Schiff said.
Then Mr. Schiff went back to sleep again. The same voice called
up Mr. Schiff again about eleven o'clock. Said he wanted Mr.
Schiff to come down to the office. Mr. Schiff told me to tell
him he would be there as soon as he could get dressed and I told
him what Mr. Schiff said.

CROSS EXAMINATION

I have been in Mr. Schiff's house about seven years. On
Saturdays and holidays Mr. Schiff generally sleeps. Sometimes he
goes to the factory when I wake him up. He never gets up unless
I wake him. Mr. Schiff told me sometime afterwards he was glad
I did not wake him up that day. I know it was eleven o'clock
when he called up the second time, because the clock was striking.
They didn't say what Mr. Frank wanted him for.

ANNIE HIXON (C) Sworn for the defendant

I am Mrs. Ursenbach's servant. Mr. Frank called up on the
telephone about half past one on April 26th. I told him he was
not in and he said "Tell Mrs. Charlie I can't go to the ball game
this afternoon." I told Mrs. Ursenbach about it.

CROSS EXAMINATION

I have been working for Mrs. Ursenbach two years. Mr.
Frank and his wife came over to Mrs. Ursenbach's on Sunday after
we had breakfast about nine o'clock. They come over there every
Sunday. I didn't pay any attention to what they talked about
that morning. They were just laughing and talking like they
always do. Yes, he laughed. They were all laughing together.
