6 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. CHIP OF FACTORY FLOOR Continued from Page 5. brought to my office by detec tives. I examined it thoroughly and particularly unde the armpits. There was no odor as there would have been If the shirt had ever been worn. TV blood seemed to be smeared on. It was put on on one side and not the other. It didn’t soak through the* fiber. Some spots were on the in side and some on the outside. Th^ collar band was not soiled and it had every appearance of having Just been washed and not worn since then. I don’t think a nesrro ever wore it. Rosser was on his feet with an ob jection. “He is not competent to qualify as to the peculiar odor of a negro I know about as much about that ss he does.” Judge Roan sustained the objection, telling Dr. «Smtth to Just state the facts. Dorsey gave the witness over to Rosser. Rosser Clashes With Witness. Q. You said that down at the tail It seemed to be smeared from thv Inside? Couldn’t the shirt be turned up and smeared on the inside from the outside?—Of course Q. Now it had the odor of blood strong when you first saw it, didn’t it?—A. Yes Q. Couldn’t the odor have been so strong as to have killed the smell of a negro?—A. No. Q. Wouldn't it depend on whose nose was smelling?—A. I think not. Q. Couldn't a negro have put on this shirt and have taken it off right quick without leaving any odor?—A. T don’t know. I expect you have smelled more negroes than I have. “Yes, I have," said Rosser. "I have smelled many a negro. I have smelled them and worked with them before you were born.” Found Blood on Chips. “I grant that," said Dr. Smith. Q. YoA say you found blood on one of these chips?—A. Yes. Q. Which one?—A. I don’t remem ber. I worked with them all together. Q. If there had been any blood on the others, you would have found it? A I don’t know that l would. Q How long wUl It take for blood to lose Its identity?—A. I couldn't say. Q. Your best estimate, then?—A. Why. I have kept blood in my labora tory for years. Q. You say you found blood cor puscles on only one chip?—A. Yes. Q. Can you count those corpuscles as easy a« you can apples?—A. No. Q You can count them?—A. Yes. Q How many were there?—A. I don’t know. I didn’t try to count them. Thunder Interrupts Court. Q. Give us your best estimate?—A. Four or five in the field of the speci men that I examined. Q Four or five corpuscles? How soon does rigor mortis set in? You have had considerable experience In observing it, haven’t you?—A. That depends on the cause of death. It begins as soon after death as the tissue begins to chill. Q. How long after death does rigor mortis end?—A. I wouldn’t swear. Somewhere about 10 or 12 hours aft er death. But it depends on so many things. Thunder drowned out Mr. Rosser's questions several times. Then the rain poured down and the procedure wa>> interrupted for a moment while court attendants pulled down the win dows. It was hard to keep order during Mr. Rosser's comments about the negro's odor and his comparison of blood corpuscles to apples. Frank and his mother both smiled at these remarks and Mm Frank was quite amused. Solicitor oDrsey asked Dr. Smith to explain why the blood could not have got on the inside of the shirt as Mr. Rosser suggested It might have. He illustrated his point before the Jury. Chief of Detectives Newport A. Lanford stepped up to see clearly. A. It was above the waistline about six inches from the armpit on the back of the shirt. Ro**er Gives Demonstration. Q. Could it have been paint on this shirt?—A. No. Mr. Rosser again took up the ques tioning. Q. Doctor, if I had had blood on the front of this shirt and had taken the shirt off and doubled it up, couldn't you have got the blood on the inside at the back? Mr. Rosser had the shirt in both hands. He walked toward the Jury- "You have been given some learned opinions. Now 1 want you to give me some. I will be Mogged If it couldn’t have been ”—A. Let me ex plain. Dr. Smith got down out of the wit ness chair and walked toward Mr. Rosser. “I don’t want you to explain—1 want you to answer my question,” returned Rosser. A. The way the shirt came to me. the blood was mottled on in such a way that that could not have been done. Q. Couldn't It have been folded like this and blood got on the inside?—A I am not an expert on folding, but 1 don’t think It could. Rosser Is Sarcastic. “You are not an expert,” said Ros ser “The way you were advanc a theory about this folding, I thought you were posing as an expert. It was my opinion that you did not know* any more about it than some of these Jurors.” A. No, perhaps I don't know as Copper Strikers Ask ‘Mother’ Jones’ Help much about it as some lawyers. Mr. Rosser sat down quickly. Dr. Smith left the stand and E. F. Holloway, day watchman at the Na tional Pencil Factory, was called to the w ltnes8 stand. Dorsey took the witness.

Superintendent T arley stated to tl-e Coroner that if the elevator was kept | unlocked at the requent of the in surance company, you had never heard of it and that your instructions were to keep it locked?—A. I don’t remember. Q. Didn't you tell me that it was locked when you left there at 11:45 o’clock?—A. I forgot. Q. Look at this affidavit and ex plain to the Jury why you signed this statement.—A. I forgot. Stairs Were Nailed Up. Q. What did Frank say to you that Saturday morning?—A. He told me I cold go when I got ready—that he would close up. Q. What time did he leave?—A. At about 9:45. Q.
