would send me with some one to see her. I talked with Annie Maud Carter and she never told me that Conley had ever stated to her that he had killed the little girl. She told me that he said Mr. Frank had killed the girl. Since Annie Maud Carter was turned out of jail, about a month ago, she has been living at my house. On last Thursday, April 23,1914 she left home. After she left home I met her accidentally uptown. I met her on Decatur Street. She has not been home since. Mr. J. Jacobs told me that she was taken good care of. He said that she came to him and told him about some men trying to trip her up and that she thought one of these men were Mr.Burns. He said that he had sent her to an office in the Fourth National Bank Building. I was told by my next door neighbors that they saw Annie Maud Carter at my house, Friday, April 24. I did not see her myself. I found that all of her clothes was gone. I know that she had something pawned at No.120 Decatur Street,with said Jacobs. In an effort to locate my daughter I went to Burns' Detective Agency in the Healy Building. While there I talked to Herbert Haas. Mr Burns told me yesterday, April 28th, that he would send to her whenever I wanted to go. Mr. Haas told me today, Wednesday, April 29th, that he didn't know where my daughter was, but he would locate her and let me talk to her. He said he would not send me to her, because some of the city detectives or some of the men from Solicitor Dorsey's office would follow me. The attached letter upon which I have written my name came through due course of mail in the attached envelope. It came to my daughter Ruth Carter. I recognized the writing on the envelope and the writing in the letter. It is the handwriting of my daughter, Annie Maud Carter. My daughter married Joseph Griffin, and was at one time known, and passed under the name of Joseph Griffin.
