I read the attached blank affidavit to Mary Rich, which affidavit is hereto attached and marked Exhibit 'A, and asked Mary Rich if same was the truth, and Mary Rich said, "Yes sir, it is true, except the time should be two thirty P.M. instead of two fifteen P.M." explaining the reason she was positive about the time was because she remembered that as she passed her, with a grip in his hand going toward the Terminal Station; that she asked for the time of day and she said he looked at his watch and replied that it was two thirty o'clock. She further said that this happened just after Jim Conley had left her, but that she did not know where he (Jim Conley) went. Mary Rich stated that she had sworn to God not to sign anything and on this account and because of the newspaper notoriety that had been given her had hurt her trade, she would not sign anything. She said she was telling the truth and that was all she would ever tell.

I met him while at work in an orchard and told him that I would like to have a talk with him in my room at the Bradford Hotel that night at eight o'clock.

I told Dalton frankly that I did not believe the testimony he had given at the trial to be the truth, also that I didn't believe Dalton even knew Leo M. Frank. Dalton
