Q. What time was it when Conley got there?
A. I should judge it was about a quarter past twelve, I didn't look at my watch.

Q. A quarter past twelve, what time did you get there.
A. I must have gotten there five minutes before he did.

Q. Then what time did you leave?
A. I left about one o'clock.

Q. What time did he begin?
A. They rushed him right up the steps and probably two or three minutes after he got up there, he began this enactment, and he went very rapidly, in fact, we sort of trot to keep behind him.

Q. You say you did keep behind him, were any questions asked him during that?
A. Constantly, yes sir.

Q. How many people were asking him questions.
A. Well, I suppose four or five of the officers.

Q. How much of the talking that Conley did have you cut out?
A. Well, I have cut out a good deal, I have no way of indicating how much.

Q. Well did he do or not more talking than you have stated.
A. A great deal more.

Q. A great deal more? How much more would you say.
A. I have no way of estimating, he was talking constantly, except when he was interrupted by questions.

Q. Now, Mr. Branch, do you know the amount of time that Conley spent in this? First, you say you got there at a quarter past twelve, did you.
A. I didn't time it, but it must have been, because I was endeavoring to get there at twelve o'clock, and when I got to the office from police station, it was five or ten minutes after twelve, and I walked down just about a block and a half.

Q. And Conley got there at what time?
A. He came just, I should say, five minutes after I did, not longer than five minutes.

Q. Not longer than that, and he got there at 12:20, then, and what time did you go away?
A. I left a little after one.
