dollar for the watchman and stuck an extra dollar in my envelo/e
and that made $3.75. I don't remember how many beers I drank
that day. Yes, I told Mr. Scott I got up at 9 o'clock that
morning. That wasn't true. I ate breakfast about seven. Yes,
I told Mr. Black I ate at 9:30. That wasn't true. I left my
house between 7 and 7:30. I told Mr. Scott I left somewhere
between 10 and 10:30. No, that wasn't true. I got to Peters
Street about 25 minutes to 8. I don't know how long I stayed
there. Some things in my affidavit that I made that are true.
Yes, there are some things in my last affidavit that are true.
I was arrested on the first of May. I sent for Mr. Black to come
down when I made my first statement on May 13th. Yes, I denied
I had been to the factory in that statement. I made that
statement in the detectives' office. Mr. Black and Mr. Scott
were present. They didn't question two or three hours. I
did some writing before then, before that statement was made.
Yes, I know I did some writing before May 13th. I did some
writing in Chief's office that Sunday. I told Black I
bought whiskey on Peters Street at about 10:30. I told them I
paid forty cents for it. I don't remember telling them that I
bought the whiskey at 11 o'clock. Yes, I told them I then went
into the Butt-In Saloon after I went to Earley's for the
whiskey. Some of it I told them was the truth and some of it
wasn't. They asked me if I was lying and I held my head down. I
held back some of the truth, and when they asked me if that was
the truth I hung my head down. I didn't want to give the man
away, but I wanted to tell some and let him see what I was going
to do and see if he wasn't going to stick to his promise as he
had said. I told them I went into Butt-In Saloon and saw some
negroes at tables shooting dice and I won ninety cents and bought
a glass of beer. I told them that I went to three beer saloons.
