Ga., spending the night of June 2nd., at the New Albany Hotel
in Albany, Ga. THAT said Lehman does not state where it was that
the said statement was made by me on June 20th.,1913. I unqualifiedly
state, that I never on June 20th.,1913, or on any other date, made
any such statement to Lehman or to anyone else; On June 19th., 1913,
I was at Opelika, Ala, and Columbus, Ga., and on the 20th., I was
at Columbus, Chipley and Cataula, Ga., and drove from Cataula to
Waverly Hall by private conveyance and from Waverly Hall I went to
Atlanta, arriving in Atlanta at 1020 P.M. via Southern Railway;
I have no recollection of having seen the said Lehman on the said
date, and I positively deny that I ever gave expression in his presence
or elsewhere to the sentiment or language attributed to me in his
affidavit, given by him on September 19th.,1913, before Robert
Patterson, Notary Public, Fulton County, Georgia. I remember, in-

definite time or place, except he says he heard me make certain
statements about the time that Connally was reported to have made
a statement, and on some street car; I have a slight acquaintance
with the said Stough, having known him casually about six years;
am not intimate with him and do not recall having had any con-
versation with him on the College Park Street Car; I never made in the
presence of the said Stough, at the place given or at any other
place and time, the statements attributed to me. On October 4th.,
1913, in the forenoon, after the newspapers of the City of Atlanta
had carried a report of the deposition as given by the said
Stough, in the presence of H.L. Bennett, that the said Stough in
his depositions had lied, and the said Stough did not resent this
statement; THAT I have read the affidavit of Samuel Aaron, purport-
ing to have been made on the 3rd. day of October, 1913, in which
the said Aaron states that about two days after the indictment of
the said Leo M.Frank, said Aaron heard me at the Elk's Club in the
