his arm around her before he closed the door. Well, I stopped; I
thought for a second I would walk over to his office door leading into
the hall, and he has a mail slot in bis door with a spring slot that you
ean shove up from the outside and see everything in his office. I saw
him pull Mrs. Hirsch down in his lap and kiss her. The elevator was
running, and I let the slide down and walked down for a step or two,
went back and looked again, and they were still in the same position.
He ‘was sitting in a little chair just next to his office desk, a desk
chair, I left the door again and shoved it up and they were standing
close to the door; seemingly, apparently she was going towards the
door, I left. I lived about a hundred years from that time on until
the real happening, but I made up my mind then and there if that
kind of people was deceiving the world, I was going to know it at
least for my own satisfaction. On Monday morning that he claims
ho met Mrs. Hirsch on Forsyth Street, I was sitting at Jim Whitten's
desk in M. L, Thrower’s office, which has « big plate glass all around.
T saw bim standing there talking, Mr. Candler hed her right hand in
his hand and had his other hand patting her over on the shoulder on
the street, I immediately got up and walked ont into the lobby right
across the street, and Mrs. Hirsch’s back was towards me, and I
slowed on by them and went into the Dago stand and bought a ciger,
and U heard Mr. Candler say, “Wednesday.” I said, “Then I'll be a

says, “I don't know; what is itt” “Well,” I says, “something that’s

coping; you fellows can look through the mail slot.” Smith says,
“No, you know them better than I do.and I don’t want them to eateh
me,’ T'll get out on the eoping.” So Mr. Lee raises the window and
Mr. Smith steps out there, and I went back to the door, and by the
