whom Miss Potter identified by his
general appearance, but to make sure,
she asked TO hear McCoy's voice. Pa
trolman Miller asked Mccoy why he
had lied to him when he asked him
where he belonged. Mccoy denied that
he had prevaricated and as soon as he
spoke Miss Potter was absolutely sure
of the identification.

was not on Academy avenue that night
and that he never saw Miss Potter be-
fore he was arrested and brought face
