out of jail. I don't know who the detective was I told about
my not leaving home at 9 o'clock. Four of them were talking
to me, all at the same time. I think one was Starnes and Camp-
bell that I told that to, about changing the time. I don't
remember whether I told them that then that I was going to tell the
whole truth. I told them that after I got out of jail, after
I got back to headquarters. If you tell a story you know you've

that yesterday. I remember saying I didn't buy any wine. No,
that yesterday anything about putting beer in wine yesterday,
but I remember I said something about putting wine in beer. I
know I told you that yesterday. I don't remember telling them
I started straight from Peters Street to Capital City Laundry.
I told them I started for the Laundry after leaving Mr. Frank at
the factory. If they have got it down there, I must have said
so. I don't remember saying it. I told them I met Mr. Frank at
