up Conley now, and give every move he made?
A. Am I to give you the time he arrived there? (Pencil Factory)
Q. Yes, give the time he arrived.
A. I will have to give that approximately; I was to be there
at 12 o'clock, and I was a few minutes late, and Conley hadn't
arrived there then, and we waited until they brought him
there, which was probably ten or fifteen minutes later, the offic-
ers brought Conley into the main entrance here and to the

through that factory?
