The Georgian to-day received from
Miss Laura Atkinson, of No. 30 Ella
street, one of the young women men
tioned in C. B. Dalton’s testimony, a
letter denying absolutely that she
had ever walked home with Dalton
from the restaurant near the pencil
factory, as he swore. Here is Miss
Atkinson’s letter in full:
Editor The Georgian:
Will you please allow me space
to correct a statement made by
Mr. C. B. Dalton in his testimony
at the Frank trial, and published
in your paper yesterday? In an
swer to a question from Mr. Ros
ser as to whether he ever went
to the pencil factory with any
one except Miss Daisy Hopkins
he said yes, he used to go to the
Busy Bee and wait for the fac
tory to close to walk home with
the girls, and gave my name as
one of the girls.
His statement, as I read it in
your paper, impressed me a® be
ing intended to convey to the
minds of those who heard it (and
of course all who read It) the
idea that I was working at the
factory at the time he says he
went there and that he was in
the habit of walking home with
me. I have no desire to make any
derogatory remarks about Mr.
Dalton, but in justice to myself
and my good name. I certainly do
feel it my duty to say that his
statement concerning me is false
ar.rl he had not the slightest
ground whatever for making it
and no right to use my name in
any way in his testimony.
I have known him only about
six months, and have never been
in his company but three times.
On tvuo occasions I was at church
with /a gentleman friend who
was also a friend of his and he
walked with us from the church
to my home, less than three
blocks, and one afternoon while
out walking I met him and he
walked with m e a distanae of
about four blocks. That, and a
few conversations over the tele
phone, probably three or four,
mark the extent of my acquaint
ance with him. I worked at the
pencil factory exactly two day®
the second week in July (last
month), and did not even see Mr.
Dalton on either one of those
days. I had never worked there
before nor been there, and have
not since.
Will you please state these
facts in your paper and clear up
any false impression that may
have been made on people’s minds
concerning me. and the slur I feel
has been cast on my good name
by having him make such a
false statement where it would
be published broadcast over the
country? I will appreciate it and
thank you very much if you will
correct the statement.
*«*• Sincerely, »
LAURA ATKINSON.

take about 30 minutes?
Arnold objected. "He asked it like
he means all that work,” Arnold said.
Dorsey: "He knows w'hat I am ask
ing.” Laughter followed Dorsey’s
remark and the deputies were forced
to rap repeatedly for order.
Arnold: "I am going to move that
this courtroom be cleared, if there
is any more of this disturbance. If
we have got to take all of this crowd
in, w’e might as well try the ca-se out
In the open.”
Judge Threatens Disturbers.
Judge Roan: “Mr. Sheriff, find out
who is creating this distrubance and
bring them to me. I will see if I
can’t stop it.”
Dorsey continued his questioning.
Q. You know that Miss Hall made
the acknowledgment, don’t you?—A.
Sometimes.
Q. That would make some little
difference wouldn’t it?—A. Yes, five
or ten minutes.
Q. Will you explain to this jury,
If you can, how It took 30 minutes
to enter the orders and only five min
utes to write the acknowledgment?
—A. I said It would take an hour
and a half to do all the work on that
paper.
Q. It took that long to fill out an
order, enter the number, etc.
Arnold Interrupted: "He has ask
ed the witness that question and got
his answer,” he said.
The objection was overruled.
Q. I want you to detail the work
that it took an hour and a half to
do. (Schiff took the order book, the
transcriptions to the order blanks,
the check, and the requisition from
the storeroom.) It took 30 minutes
to put this much on the book?—A.
I don’t think so.
Quizzed on Office Details.
Q. Look at this acknowledgment.
What are these Initials? 'H H "> A
Hattie Hall.
Q. Then she did this?—A. Yes.
Dorsey took an order bearing the
Initials "H. H.” and bearing date of
April 26.
Q Did Miss Hall acknowledge this
on April 26?—A. No, I wouldn't think
SO. It was probably acknowledged
Monday or It might have been the
day before April 26
Q. Well, was it the custom to write
these before or after they were en-
thls boo >t-—A. Either way.
w- Then you had no regular sys-
1 m ~A- Yes, but one does not hinge
hi 1 other - It did not make any
big difference how this was done. It
had to be done In the regular course
of business.
At this point court adjourned until
9 o clock Monday morning.
