J.B.Duffy, and Burke's chauffeur, Lynn at myself at my house. No
money was given Duffy at that time. I made him loans on April 4
and April 11th. I loaned Duffy money when he worked under me at the
Southern Railroad in the year 1910 and 1911 and at various times
I loaned him small amounts of money. I think $40.00 was the greatest
amount I had ever loaned him prior to that time. He got the money
at three different times. He got $5.00 at one time and then on May
4th, I put that on a note of $10.00 I let him have and on May 11th
I put it on a note with $10.00 and let him give one note for 1t
$25.00. I said May a minute ago and that should have been April of
the year. He made an affidavit on December 11, 1913, and I never
loaned him any money at all, in fact until April 4, 1914. I did not
give him one cent at that time. It must have been 7:00 o'clock
when the parties met at my house. I never let Duffy have any money
at all that night we met at my house. That was on December 21, 1913.
He made an affidavit for C.W.Burke and on April 4, 1914, I let him
have the first money I ever let him have since long before this
trouble in 1912. I did not tell him he would never have to pay it
back. I did not make such a statement to Duffy's father. Old man
Duffy came over there to the railroad to my place of business --
I went to see Nellie Wood about the 28th of January, 1914. I knew
she was a witness for the State against Leo M. Frank. I went in
C.W.Burke's automobile, and I went at his instance. Burke asked me
to go there, he said he didn't know her himself, and I did.
I had been a foreman out there for the Southern Road at Decatur
Street for a long time and everybody knew of Nell drifting up and
down Decatur Street. I never had anything to do with her. I think
she is a woman of bad character. I can give names as to who said
she was a bad character, a fellow named Bishop. He was not one
of the men indicated in that crowd. His initials are J.B. Bishop and
is not related to B.B. She told me that while I was talking to her,
that anything and everything would be all right in connection with
what she was doing. If telling me would mean I did know, I do
know of my own knowledge. Anybody down there who will say anything
about her will talk of her general bad character, Bishop on be
found on Decatur Street. He is working there for the Southern
Road as car inspector. He is in my office there all the time.
