and didn't say nothing while Mr. Darley was speaking to me.
Boots Rogers, Chief Lanford, Darley, Mr. Frank and I were there
when they opened the clock. Mr. Frank opened the clock and said -
the punches were all right, that I hadn't missed any punches.

officers both came in. When Mr. Frank came out of his office
that Saturday he was rubbing his hands. I have never seen him
rubbing his hands that way before.

that Mr. Frank jumped back like he was frightened when he
saw Mr. Gantt. I am sure I told them, and I told them that
Mr. Frank jumped back and held his head down. I didn't say
