I told them after I went home at 2:30, I went to Joe Carr's
saloon and got 15¢ worth of beer. I don't remember telling
them that I went there between three and four o'clock. The
detectives talked to me nearly every day after I made my first
statement. Sometimes hours at a time. No, they
didn't cuss me. Yes. I sent for Black on May 24th. When the
statement came out in the papers that's the time I sent for him.
As to how I knew it came out in the papers, I heard the boys
across the street hollering extra papers. Mr. Black came down

wrote the notes on Friday. They didn't tell me my story
wouldn't fit. I don't remember them telling me anything about
changing my statement. I told them that was all I had to say.
They never told me they wanted me to tell anything else. They
didn't say anything to me that it didn't sound right. Mr. Black
talked to me right smart each Mr. Lanford talked to me a little.
No, they never talked to me a whole day. As to why I changed
my statement from Friday to Saturday, I put it on Saturday, be-
cause I was at the factory on Saturday. As to why I didn't put
myself there on Saturday, the blame would be put on me. I
