"Both of us told him we wouldn't do this; he stated that Conley was not any relation to us. He said all you want is the money when you get out. He said he would soon be out smoking good cigars and we would be broke. I remember he talked to me at least a half dozen times about this, sometimes talking to me by myself and sometimes to Reese and myself.

"I remember at one time Dr. Wrenn was talking to Conley in the presence of myself and Reese, and he told Conley the thing for him to do when he got his sentence was for him to take the murder on himself and in this way free Mr. Frank. He told Conley that he would only get about 6 or 12 months sentence and maybe that in jail and that he could never be tried again and that if he would take this murder on himself, that Mr. Frank would go free and that Conley would get a lot of money for it and that he could never be tried for it. Conley declined to do this. Dr. Wrenn was in Conley's cell wing very often. I have been looking for him at times to get medicines for some sick prisoners and I find him in Conley's cell.

"I told Dr. Wrenn finally when he kept on after me to tell that Conley had confessed to me that I didn't see why Dr. Wrenn did n't do this himself; I told Dr. Wrenn that he had as much opportunity as I had to go in Conley's cell and he could swear that Conley had confessed to him as well as I could that he had confessed to me. Dr. Wrenn replied: 'You're a damn fool; I am not going to get mixed in it.' I told him I wouldn't get mixed in it either. He said 'You negroes are damn fools; when you get out, money will be brief; when I get out everybody will have money.'

"I knew Annie Maud Carter; she was a prisoner and was turned loose on the run around of round the jail as a trusty by deputy Roberts to wash clothes and clean up the hospital. Her work was on the 5th or hospital floor and in the laundry, on the 4th floor. She was turned loose every morning by Deputy Roberts and she was locked up by Deputy Allen when he came on duty every day about 3:30 P.M. Deputy Roberts had charge of the cleaning up of the jail and the laundry work and Annie Maud Carter was under his control and direction until 3:30 when Deputy Allen came in and she was then locked up.
