Visible Translated Text Is As Follows:

ing him how to look the door. He did not tell us anything about
Frank having a cord in his hand at the tip of the steps or that
Frank looked funny about his eyes or that his face was red. He
didn't tell us that he went back there and found the little girl
with a rope around her neck and a piece of underclothing or that
he went back to Mr. Frank and told him the girl was dead, or that
he wrapped her in a piece of cloth. He said it was a crocus sack.
He did not say anything about Mr. Frank's saying "Sh-sh." He didn't
say that he put the sack on his shoulder and that body dangled
round about his legs. He said he never saw the ribbon; didn't
know where it was. We asked him whether there was any thought
of burning the body and he said no. He didn't know anything
about that. He never said anything about his promising to come
back and burn the body or that he said to Mr. Frank "You are a
white man and done it and I am not going down there and burn it
myself," or that Mr. Frank had arranged to give his bond and
send him away; or that Frank said he would have a place to get in
by when he came back to burn the body, or said he owed a Jew ten
cents and paid it. He did not tell us of any conversation he
had with Mr. Frank on Tuesday after the murder in which Mr. Frank
said "If you had come back on Saturday and done what I told you
there wouldn't have been any trouble." As to the scene between
Conley and me when I undertook to convince him that I knew he
could write on Sunday May 18th, I called him up at Chief Lanford's
office, gave him a paper and pencil and told him that we understood
he said he couldn't write and now we knew he could write and we
wanted him to write what we told him. He sat there and looked
at us while we were talking and I told him to write as I dictated
vinced him that we knew he could write and then he wrote.
