there. I must have said so. I don't remember saying it. I told them I met
Mr. Frank at the corner of Nelson and Forsyth Street before I went to the
factory. Yes, I told them I went from Peters Street and met him at the corner
of Nelson and Forsyth before I went to the factory. As to why I told them that
story, because I did meet him there. No, I didn't go straight from Peters
Street to meet him at the corner of Nelson and Forsyth as I told them. I went
straight from Peters street to the pencil factory. I don't remember when the
first time I told the truth about it. I told it either to Mr. Starnes, Mr. Campbell,
Mr. Black or Mr. Scott. I told it after I got out of jail, I remember telling the
officers when he said "Ah, ha," when I met him at the corner. I don't remem-
ber telling the officers that he asked me where I was going and I told him I was
going to the Capital City Laundry to see my mother. I don't remember saying
that to the officers. If I did say that it was not the truth. As to why I lied
about that, because I did tell Mr. Frank down there when I left the factory
that I was going to see my mother. I told the officers he stayed at Montag's
about twenty minutes. I did tell you yesterday that I didn't have any idea
how long he stayed there, because I haven't any idea now. As to why I
didn't say yesterday that it was twenty minutes, because you didn't ask me.
I didn't tell Mr. Dorsey how long it was, because he didn't ask me what I told
the detectives about it, but I told the detectives that. I told them that story
because I didn't have any idea how long he stayed there. I don't know how
long Mr. Frank stayed there. I told the officers twenty minutes as that was the
best I could do about it, so I just told him twenty minutes. I told the detec-
tives about wanting me to watch for him when I got back to the factory. I
don't know why I didn't tell them that at the time I told them about moving
the body. I don't remember who I told it to or when, but I told them. I
did tell them about Mr. Frank stamping his foot. I don't know whether I told
them at the time I told about helping move the body. I told it to Mr. Scott,
Mr. Black, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Starnes and Mr. Dorsey. Mr. Starnes and Mr.
Campbell wasn't there when I told it. No, I didn't tell it to Mr.
Scott and Mr. Black. They dropped the case. Mr. Starnes and Mr. Campbell
took it up. They came down and was talking to me for a month or more in
my cell. Yes, I told Mr. Black about Frank's stamping his foot and Mr. Scott. I
told them all about it. Yes, I told the detectives that the first party I saw
going up the factory after I got back from Montag's was Miss Mattie Smith.
That was a mistake. I didn't see Mr. Darley go up after I got back from
Montag's. No, I didn't say yesterday that I saw him go up after I got back from
Montag's. I don't know whether Mr. Darley saw me or not. I was sitting
right there at the box. He could have seen me if he had looked, so could Miss
Mattie Smith. The rest of them could have seen me if they had looked. Yes,
I told the officers the first time I saw them go up was after I got back from
Montag's. That was not so. I was just mistaken about it. Don't know when
I corrected the mistake or to whom. Yes, I stated it to Mr. Dorsey. It was
after I came from jail. I have corrected it to Mr. Starnes and Mr. Campbell
too. It was about 11:30 when Mr. Darley left the factory, right after we got
