DAISY HOPKINS, sworn for the Defendant.

I am a married woman.

I worked in the factory from October, 1911, to June 1, 1912.

I worked in the packing department on the second floor.

Mr. Frank never spoke to me when he would pass.

I never did speak to him.

I've never been in his office drinking beer, coca-cola, or anything else.

I know Dalton when I see him.

I never visited the factory with him.

I never have been with him until I went to his house to see Mrs. Taylor, who lived with him then.

That was the only place I have ever seen him.

I never have been to the factory on Saturday or any other day.

I never introduced him to Mr. Frank.

There isn't a word of truth in that.

I have never gone down in the basement with this fellow Dalton.

I don't even know where the basement is at all.

I have never been anywhere in the factory, except at my work.

CROSS EXAMINATION.

I have never been in jail.

Mr. W. M. Smith got me out of jail.

Somebody told a tale on me, that's why I was put in jail.

I don't know what they charged me with; they accused me of fornication.

RE-DIRECT EXAMINATION.

I never was tried.

I never had to pay anything except my lawyer's fee, which I paid to Mr. Wim. Smith.

I never was taken to court.
