Mr. Burns's son brought me no such message and d d tell Mr.Burns, however, that he, Burns, desired me to talk to Allen. I told said Burns that it would be presumptuous for me to attempt to talk with Allen after he, Burns, several of his operatives, Jacobs, Isom had talked to Allen with identical results and for this reason I declined to talk to Allen.

JOSEPH W. CONROY, Sworn for the Movant. I am a Notary Public in and for the County of Hamilton, State of Ohio. On February 5,1914 I met C.W.Burke of Atlanta, and went with said Burke to the home of the Good Shepherd, in Cincinnati, Ohio, and interviewed Dewey Hewell, an inmate of said home.

I never at any time was talking to Conley in the presence of either of these parties and told Conley that the thing for him to do was when he got his sentence was for him to take the murder on himself and in this way free Frank, or that he (Conley) would only get about 3 or 4 years sentence and that he never could be tried again.
