down. I would write him notes, and he would write me; but he went be-
yond himself in writing to me and I brought them back to him and
asked him for my letters. I would lay them down and go downstairs
for something and I would come back and they would be gone, and in
two or three days, I would find them lying around in a peculiar place.
I don't know whether any of these letters were dated. I didn't pay
that much attention to them. He would write six or seven pages in
one letter, and as high as ten pages. These twenty seven sheets
written in lead pencil are some of the letters received by me and
were taken out of my cell. They were written by James Conley and are
in his handwriting. Two of these letters he handed me himself. All
of the letters are in his handwriting. I received these letters
when I was in the jail in Atlanta at the same time that Conley was
there. I wrote these letters consisting of twenty two separate pages
to Conley. These twenty two separate pages are in my handwriting.
They are letters that I wrote to Conley while in the Fulton County
Jail in Atlanta. Some of them are dated. One of them, I believe is
dated January 15th. Some of them are undated. I got my letters to
Conley by giving them to different men who were serving sentences
in jail. They were short term prisoners. I didn't deliver any of
the letters to Conley through any of the deputy sheriffs, only
through the prisoners. I would receive two or three letters a day
from Conley, and I would write him every two or three days. I re-
ceived other letters from Conley about as many as you have shown me.

letters which Conley wrote to me, and in red ink the letters which I
wrote to Conley. This is the absolute truth. Nobody has promised
me anything to make this statement. Nobody has threatened me.
I have lived in Atlanta twenty one years. My associates are Mary
Lou Wright, Viola Bare and Annie Morgan.
