then distributed them at the
r roper places in the Montag plant.
don't know just which ones
they were.
Conversation With
Miss Hall Recalled.
“In chatting with Mr. Montag
I spoke to Mr. Montag and Mr.
Korse, after that I spoke to Miss
Hattie Hall, the pencil company’s
stenographer, who stays at Mon
tag Brothers, and asked her to
come over and help me that
morning, as I have already told
you, that these invoices were
wrong, and I wanted her to help
me on that work, and could not
take it up to-morrow. In faot,
I told her I had enough work to
keep her busy that whole after
noon if she would stay. She said
she didn't want to do that; she
wanted to have at least a half
holiday.
“I then spoke to members of
the Montag Brothers force, on
business matters, and then other
matters. Alsuo I then spoke to
Mr. Guttenheim, who was sales
manager of the Montag Brothers
and of the pencil factory, and then
spoke to him about several of his
orders that were in the factory.
There were two of his orders
that he paid special stress on that
were desired to be shipped right
away. I said, ‘I don’t know how
una far along in the process of
manufacture the orders have pro
ceeded, but if you can come back
I can look it up and tell you
when they can be shipped.’ He
said he could not come then, but
he would come a little later. I
told him I would be glad if he
would come up a little later on in
the afternoon; that I would be
there until about 1 o’clock in the
morning, and then about half past
three. I then took the folder and
returned.
Arrived at Factory
At About 11 o’Clock.
“Upon arrival at the pencil fac
tory I went up to the second or
office floor, and then I noticed
that the clock was perhaps five
minutes after 11 o’clock, and I saw
Mr. Holloway there, and I told
him he could go as soon as he got
ready. He toid me he had some
work to do for Harry Denham
and Arthur White, who wanted
to do some repairing on the top
floor, and that he would do the
work first.
“I then went to the office, and
found Miss Hattie Hall, who had
preceded me from Montag Broth
ers, and another young lady, who
introduced herself to me as Mrs.
Arthur White. Mrs. White want
ed to see her husband. I went
into the inner office, and took off
my hat and coat and removed the
papers which I had brought back
from Montag Brothers and put
the folder away.
Week’s Sheet Left
In Incomplete Form.
“It was about this time that I
first heard the elevator motor
start up, and the circular saw in
the carpenter shop which was
near to it, and I heard it sawing
through some boards and thought
it was evidently the work that
Mr. Holloway had referred to.
“I seperated the orders from
the letters which required an
swers, and took from them the
letters that did not need imme
diate attention and laid them in
the various places, and it wa*
about this time I had an idea I
would like to see how far along
the report sheets were which I
used in getting up the financial
report every Saturday afternoon.
To my surprise I found that the
sheet contains the records of the
C encils packed for the week had
een entered for Thursday. The
last day of the fiscal week was
omitted, and Mr. Schiff, evident
ly in the stress of figuring out
and filling the envelopes for the
ayroll for Friday instead of Sat
urday, had evidently not had
enough time. I told Alonzo Mann,
the office boy, to call up Mr.
Schiff and find out when he was
coming down, and Alonzo said
that tne answer came back over
the telephone that Mr. Schiff
would be right down, so I didn’t
pay any more attention to that
part of the work, because I ex
pected Mr. Schiff to come down
any minute.
Mrs. Freeman and
Corinthia Hall Came In.
“It was about this time that
Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman and
Miss Corinthia Hall, two of the
girls that worked on the fourth
floor, came upstairs and asked to
go upstairs and get Mrs. Free
man s coat, which permission I
gave them. I told them at the
same time to tell Arthur White
that his wife was downstairs. A
few minutes after they left my
office two gentlemen came in, one
of them Mr. Graham, and another
gentleman, fathers of two boys
who had gotten into some trouble
during the noon recess and were
taken down to police headquar
ters, and, of course, could not get
their pay envelopes the night be
fore. I gave the required en
velopes to the two fathers, and
chatted with them at some length
in reference to the trouble that
their boys had gotten into on the
day previous.
“Just before they left the of
fice Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman
and Mrs. Corinthia Hall came
into my office and asked my per
mission to use the telephone, and
started using the telephone dur
ing the time these two gentle
men left my office. Previous to
the time these two gentlemen
came in I had called Miss Mattie
Hall in and dictated what mail I
had to give her, and she went
out and was typewriting the mail.
Frank went back to the stand.
He was handed a glass of water
as he resumed his seat, but de
clined it.
“Miss Hall left my office” he
continued, “on her way home at
this time. There were then in
the building Arthur White, Harry
Denham and Mrs. White. It must
have been from ten to fifteen
minutes after that this littl® i*irJ
whom I afterwards found to be
Mary Phagan came in. She asked
asked for her pay. I got my cash
box, referred to the number and
gave her the envelope.
"As she went out, she stopped
near my outer office door and
said:
“ HHas the metal come?'
Sound of Voice Made
Little Impression.
“The safe door was open and I
could not see her, but I answered
‘No.’ The last I heard was the
sound of her footsteps going down
the hall. But a few moments after
she asked me, I had the impres
sion of a voice saying something,
but it made no impression on me.
“The little girl nad hardly left
the office when Lemmie Quinn
came in. He said something to
me about working on a holiday
and went out. A few minutes
before 1 o’clock, I called up my
wife and told her I was coming to
lunch at 1:15. I then went up
stairs to where Denham and
White were working and found
they had a bit of the floor taken
up and were sawing.
“I explained to them that I was
going to lunch and would lock the
door when I left. Mrs. Whit©
left at this time. Some lady said
that at 12:35 o’clock sne found
me in front of the safe. It is bare
ly possible that she did. I don’t
recall her being there. Her Mem
ory probably is fresher than mine
on this point.
‘When I went up stairs I asked
Mr. White if his wife was going
to stay there with him. She said
no, that she would go. She left
and then I got my hat and coat
and left, locking the outer door.
“Now, gentlemen, to the best
of my recollection from the time
the whistle blew until I went up
stairs to see Mr. White, I did not
stir out of my office. I went on
home.
“I called up my brother-in - law,
Mr. Ursenbach, to tell him I was
unable to keep the engagement to
go to the ball game. The cook
answered the phone.
“My wife and mother-in-law
were going to the opera. My fa
ther-in-law and I ate lunch. He
went into the backyard while I
lit a cigarette and lay down for a
moment.
“I left and while passing the
home of Mrs. Wolfsheimer, saw
Mrs. Michael on the porch. I
went in to see her and saw Mrs.
Wolfsheimer, Mr. Loeb and oth
ers.
Watched Parade When
Street Cars Stopped.
“To catch the next car I ran
down to Glenn street. On the car
I met my wife’s cousin, Mr. Loeb.
The car was biockecf at the cor
ner of Washington and Hunter
streets. I walked up to White
hall street and stood there possi
bly for fifteen minutes watching
the Memorial Dav parade.
“As I walked down Whitehall
street I met Miss Rebecca Car-
son. This was probably 3:10 or
3:15 o’clock. I greeted her and
walked on. I stopped at Jacobs’
Pharmacy and walked on. I went
from there to the factory.
“When I reached there I went
upstairs and let the boys know I
had returned. A minute later, I
returned to my office and started
to work on the financial sheet.
“In a few minutes the clock bell
rang and Arthur White came into
the office to borrow two dollars.
It was while I was at work on
the sheet at probably 4 o’clock
that I went to the toilet.
“As I returned toward the of
fice, Inoticed Newt Lee coming
toward me from the head of the
stairs. I told him he could go on
off but to be sure and be back at
6 o’clock. I told him I was very
sorry I could not let him know
about the half holiday but that
he was at liberty to enjoy himself
as he saw fit, but that he must
not fail to return at 6 o’clock.
“The first night that Newt Lee
came to work at the factory, I
took him over the building, and
stressed the fact that he must go
into the basement, especially the
dust bin, every half hour.
“I told him it would be part
of his duties to watch the back
door. He was to make a complete
tour every half hour and punch
the clock.
“Now, I will return to the work
of the financial sheet. This sheet
contains the cost of all the pencils
made that week. There are no
names but this sample case will
show you.”
Evidence Excluded
But Jury Sees It.
Frank unfolded a sample rase.
Dorsey: "We object to this being
used u.8 evidence.”
Judge Roan: “I sustain you.”
Frank placed^the sample case to
one side.
“Well,” he said, “you got a suf
ficient glance at those pencils to
see there were a great many.”
“In making up this sheet it was
necessary to go through the list
of all that were packed. Specials,
of course, have to be figured sep
arately.
“For instance, there is a special
60-60-x pencil known as ‘Crack-
erjack.’ Now I notice that the
two expert accountants reported
two errors. While they were un
important, I wish to explain that
those errors were not mine. They
were made by Mr. Schiff. I never
checked his figures. I checked
over mine, but not his.
“Now the next is ‘jobs.’ The
accountant found the only error
in my financial sheet there in the
item ‘jobs. It was not an error,
as I will show you. He did not
know my method of figuring.
“Two items here are totals.
The total gross amount is 791
gross, the total value amount
§396.75. In figuring the average
I obtained $50.01. In that average
he discovered an error. It was not
an error. I simply did not go as
far into the decimals as he did.
One-tenth of a cent was close
enough for my purpose.
“Now some of the items in here
are taken from the reports of the
foremen of the different depart
ments.”
Frank then exhibited a report
from the foreman or forewoman
GIRL WORKER WHO TESTIFIES TO
GOOD CHARACTER OF LEO FRANK
of each department and explain
ed it.
“Then there is the report of Mr.
Schiff, showing the gross of pen
cils shipped each day of that week
—that week was an exceptionally
heavy one.
“Now there is a little report
here that constitutes one of the
most difficult calculations. It is
from the packing room. We have
a trick of the trade to p^t the
pencils that do not sell very fast
into fancy packages to make
them go.
“Now, very often these pencils
are taken from the shelf, where
they have laid for more than a
year, and repacked in the fancy
cases. I made all the calculations
on this that afternoon, despite
everything that has been said
here to the contrary.
“Now hero is a little sheet that
deals with the grades of the pen
cils. It shows the totals for each
class of pencils shipped that
week. This data sheet—we have
had very few clerks at the For
syth street office capable of keep
ing it, because it requires rather
advanced mathematics to reach
the totals.”
“Now I will have to get all my
thoughts on this sheet. I isn’t a
hard job but it is a very tedious
one and requires much care and
accuracy. Here is rubber—cheap
rubber and good rubber. Now it
has been intimated that some of
these items—this one in particu
lar, if I am not mistaken—that I
could take two that were already
figured and subtract them from
the total and get the cost of the
third.
“That is not so. Some of the
pencils haven’t any rubber in
them at all. I have to go through
the same tedious operation on
each item. There are various
sorts of packing boxes used. Then
there are the skeletons in the
boxes. Some pencils don't have
skeletons at all.
“All these items must be gone
through accurately to get correct
results of this sheet. Then there
is no section on this data sheet
showinq the cost of tips. You
can5t use rubbers without tips,
so, after figuring them, I just
added them to the rubbers.
"Some pencils take wrappers
and some don’t. The very cheap
pencils are tied with a cord, so we
have the same tedious figuring
again.
“The slat item is not worked
out because I could not find the
data. I just put it off until Mon
day.
“Here are the jobs—the payroll
at Forsyth street and the payroll
at Bell street.
“Now the shipments were fig
ured for the week! I did part of
that work in the morning and I
explained to you about the in
voices being wrong. Well, here
are the items on this financial
sheet. Then, as to the orders re
ceived. Entering the orders re
ceived that day involved no more
work than transferring.
Has Own Method of
Figuring Cost Data.
“Here they are in comparison
to the amount sh'pped.
“Cne of the most intricate
things in making out this financial
sheet is figuring the cost data.
This sheet I may say is a child
of my own brain. The first one
gotten out was gotten out by my
self.
“This item here qives us the net
value and the net amount of mon
ey the pencil factory received for
its pencils. The burden that a
business has to carry is its fixed
charges—rent, insurance, certain
salaries, etc.*—the charges that
are the same whether great or
few pencils are made.
“The machine shop is variable.
We did make many machines at
first, but later the machine shop
was used solely for upkeep. The
slats are figured at 22 a gross.
That cost was simple multiplica
tion.
“The figuring of that price is
not done in making out the finan
cial sheet Saturday afternoon. Mr.
Montag and myself figure that in
advance, making allowance for
profit, breakage, etc.
"I have here on the report of
April 26 ‘Slats, not complete;’ that
was because Schiff had not made
out the slat report, and I planned
to complete it Monday morning
before taking it to Montag.
“Now, beside the making this
large sheet here and the financial
sheet, there aer three other sheets
that I made out. Now, I want to
call your attention to this. ! did
not typewrite it. I merely filled
in the blanks. I have several of
them typewritten and keep them
in my cksk.
“In addition to that I make out
two condensed financial sheets,
showing the principal figures.
They are sufficient for a director
or stockholder to see what the
factory is doing,
Mailed Statements
To Stockholders.
“One of these statements I
mailed to my uncle, Mr. M. Frank,
who is president of the company,
and the other to Oscar Papen-
heimer, who was a director.
“I put one in an envelope and
addressed i tto Mr. Oscar Papen-
heimer; the other I sent to my
uncle along with a price list, and
I wrote him this letter.
“This price list is too long for
an ordinary envelope, hence the
large envelope.
“After finishing the financial
sheet, I folded the large sheet
and addressed it to Mr. Selig
Montag. I then took up the
checking up of the cash and bal
ancing of the cash book. I did
that work as near as I remember,
between 5:30 and 5 minutes to
6 o'clock. It did not take me an
hour and a half. I did it in about
25 minutes. There was $30.54.
There couldn't have been any
more. It was mostly in small
change. There was one loan to
Mr. White, making the total
amount of cash $28.50.
“Beginning that week, we had
$39.25 as a balance. We drew
two checks of $15 each—I mean
by that that we went to Mr.
Montag’s office and had him draw
the checks. The total amount of
money we had to account for was
69.25. What it was spent for, of
course, is shown on the debit
side.”
Frank explained each of those
items, including drayage, parcel post,
etc.
“I found at the end a shortage
of $4.34 coming about in payrolls
within the last three months.”
Drinks Water After
Talking Two Hours.
At this point Frank paused to
take a drink of water having
been talking for 2 hours and 30
minutes.
“I finished this work I have just
outlined,” he continued, “at 5
minutes to 6 o'clock. I took those
slips—I won’t show them to you—
stamped April 28. They were put
into the clock because no one was
coming into the office until Mon
day.
“Newt Lee's punches on Mon
day night would appear on the
strip placed on the clock Monday
night. Just before I left I put a
new tape in the clock and made
Newt Lee punch it. Then he went
on down stairs to wait and let
me out.
“As ! started out of the factory,
I saw Newt Lee talking to a man
named Gantt, who had been re
leased about two weeks before. I
gave them permission to go into
the factory and get Gant's shoes
which he said were left there and
I told Newt Lee to go with him.
“I reached home at about 6:25
o’clock and at 6:30, thinking Newt
Lee would be near the clock, I
called him over the phone to see
if everything was all right. I could
not get him. I called again at 7
o’clock and again at 7:30. At
that time I got him and he told
me everything was all right.
“That night my parents - in - law
had company at the home. Those
present were Mr .and Mrs. Mar
cus. Mrs. Goldstein, Mrs. M.
Marx, Mrs. A. B. Marx, Mr. Ike
Strauss—who came in at about
10 o’clock. I read a magazine un
til about 10:30 and then retired.”
Told Officer He
Did Not Know Girl.
At this juncture the jury retired
for five minutes.
Frank conferred with his attor
neys while the jury was out. Upon
its r»furn he resumed:
“I believe I have taken in every
move Saturday night. I retired
Saturday night. Sunday morning
about 7 o’clock I was awakened
by the telephone ringing and a
man’s voice which I afterwards
found out to be Detective Starnes,
said: “I want you to come down
to the factory.’ ‘What is the trou
ble?' I asked. ‘Has there been a
fire?' ‘No,’ he said. ‘A tragedy
has occurred.' I said, ‘All right,’
and he said he would send an
auto.
"They came before I finished
dressing. At this point I differ
wrth the detectives, Black and
Starnes, about where the conver
sation took place. They sav it
was after we were in the ma
chine. | say it was before we left
the house, before my wife. At any
rate, here is what was said:
“They asked me if I knew Mary
Phagan. I answered that I did
not. They asked me if I did not
pay off a little girl with long hair
down her back the afternoon be
fore. | said I did. They said
they wanted me to go to the un
dertaking establishment to see if I
could identify the boyd. They
made the trip to the undertaking
establishment v«ry quickly. I
went in and stoed in the door
way. The attendant removed the
sheet from the little girl’s face
and turned the head toward me.
His finger was right by the cut
on the head. I noticed her nostrils
were filled with dirt and cinders
and there were several discolora
tions. I noticed a piece of cord
around her neck, the kind we used
in the pencil factory. I said it
looked like a little girl that came
to the factory the day before.
They had already told me it was
Mary Phagan. We went to the
factory and by examining the
payroll I found that Mary Phagan
had drawn her pay the day before
and that the amount was $1.20.
“As we went into the factory I
noticed Mr. Darley going in. We
went to the office and I found
Newt Lee in the custody of the
officers. They told me they wanted
to go down into the basement. I
got the elevator key, but when I
tried to start the elevator ma
chinery I found I could not and I
told Mr. Darley to see if he could
start it.
Admits Nervousness
And Defends Himself.
“He started the car, and when
we got further down I found that
one of the chains had slipped.
They showed me where the body
was found, where the shoe was
found and pointed out every thing
that was at that time known.
After looking about the basement
we got some nails and a hammer,
and Mr. Darley nailed up the back
door. Back upstairs Mr. Darley,
Chief Lanford ana myself went on
a tour of inspection of the three
upper floors. We went through
the metal room, the same metal
room that has figured so promi
nently in this trial, and neither
Mr. Darley nor myself noticed
anything oarticular on that floor.
Nor did Sergeant Lanford, chief
of the Atlanta detective force.
“We went to the time clock. I
took out the sli- and a casual
note of this ship would indicate
nothing was on it. There was
somethina on it. It had been par
tially rubbed out. It could not be
rubbed out altorether without
rubbing out the printed lines. I
did write wij;h a pencil across the
face of it, ‘8:26 a. m.’ We noticed
a slip but overlooked any skips. I
folded the time slip as it i6 now
and handed it to Chief Lanford.
Now, gentlemen, I have heard a
great deal during this trial about
nervousness.
“I was nervous. I was com
pletely unstrung. Imagine your
self called from sound slumber in
the early hours of the morning,
whisked through the chill morn
ing air without breakfast, to go
into that undertaking establish
ment and ave the light suddenly
flashed o i a scene like that. To
see that little girl on the dawn of
womanhood so cruelly murdered—
it was a scene that would have
melted stone. Is it any wonder I
was nervous?”
Notes Found by Dead
Girl’s Body Described.
‘I got in an automobile and
sat on Mr. Darley’s knee. I was
trembling, perhaps. Later Sun
day morning, I went to the home
of Mr. Sig Montag and told him
what had occurred. I got home
about 11 o’clock. My wife and I
went over to my sister-in-law’s,
Mrs. Ursenbach’s, and with a
number of friends we discussed
the tragedy.
“We went back home to dinner
and mentioned there the terri
ble crime. After dinner I read a
short time and about 10 minutes
to 3o'clock caught a car down
town.
"The conversation on the car
was about the little girl that had
been found dead in the factory.
At 3:10 o’clock I went back to
the undertaking establishment
and found Joe Stelka there.
“On Monday I went to the po
lice station with Darley and he
said he would like to talk to Newt
Lee alone. We were shown the
two notes found by the side of
the slain girl.”
Frank then described the notes.
“Now, on one of the notes
there was an erasure, but the
tracing was still discernable. It
was January 11, 1912. The order
number was very indistinct, but
it was evidently an old serial
number.
"Returning to my home at 4:15
I met Mr. Haas and he asked me
about the murder. Severay people
on the street also asked me.
“I remained at home until 5
o’clock, then I went to Mr. Mon
tag’s home and made a report of
the tragedy to him. From there
I went to the home of Mr. Mar
cus where I had received a tele
phone message from my wife, and
I went by there to get her.
“At supper that night the con
versation was again about the
murder. After supper I read the
paper. I called up Mr. Marcus
and asked him if he would come
down. He said he could not.
"Mr, and Mrs. Selia had a party
that night. About 10 o’clock, my
wife and I went up to bed. Next
morning before I had finished
dressing, the door bell rang. It
was Detectives Black and Haze-
lett. They said they wanted me
to go to the police station with
them.
Kept in Ignorance of
Charge Against Hmi.
“I went and on the way I asked
them what was the trouble. They
said Chief Lanford would t#M
me.
“I arrived at the police station
and sat in an outer office for
probably an hour without seeing
Chief Lanford. Near 9 o’clock,
Mr. Sel Montag and Mr. Herbert
Haas came down. Near 10 o'clock
I saw Mr. Rosser. He came in
and said, “Hello boys, what’s the
trouble.’
“Mr. Haas took him off to one
s : de. Chief Lanford came out and
aid to me; ‘Come in here.’
“I w®nt into h i a office. He
handed me the time slips and if
I am not mistaken this same
time slio had the figures still un
erased: ‘8:26 a. m.'
“I took the siip and examined it
closely, discovering the slips.
There seemed to be some alter
cation about Mr. Rosser getting
into the room with me. I heard
him say: ‘I am going into that
room. That man is my client.’
Chief Beavers asked me if I would
give him a statement.
“I heard Mr. Ross**»' sav: “Whv,
it’s preposterous. The man who
did that would have signs on his
