that they had worked five and one
eighth days, He said further that he
had seen the three men and had
given them their checks, July 30, the
day Of the robbery. The time check

concerning the brothers Black and
Murphy changed and Thomas ad-
mitted that the entry had been first
made as July %, and that 1t had later
been erased and July Is inserted in
stead He did not remember why he
