Forsyth Street. and after he.
FEBRUARY and Colyar went up
stairs. or were just about at the
top Of the stairs, ] started up and
saw the three enter room 81 Of
the Williams House, located as
mentioned previously, I then inn
mediately went into room 30 and
closed the door, partly. but did
not lock IT, The windows were
down and so ! went directly 10
the table and placed the receiver
over my head and started writ

placed the receiver over my
head, and IN order to be sure that
7 would hear everything. Mr.
FEBRUARY stood behind me and
held them pressed tightly to my
ears. This conference lasted
about 80 minutes Between $50
and 9;l5 Wednesday might Mr.
FEBRUARY loafed about town. as
we had an appointment with Mr.
Branch and Mr. Paschal az $3.50
al the Williams House. and as
they were not in The Journal Of
fee. we had TO XIII time until they
showed up. I left Mr. FEBRUARY
and Mr. Colyar at The Journal
Office az 9:l5 and went over to the
Williams House to wait for the
arrival Of The Journal reporters
mentioned above. They came in
shortly and we went over 70 The
Journal office and all Of us (Col-
yard. FEBRUARY. Branch, PasChal
and MYSELF went up to the ed
itorial department. where a ma
chine was selected. and then
went TO work transcribinE what
! had heard.
Right at the start ! made Col
yard angry, because when / did
not hear what was said I put
dashes and so ] allowed him TO
dictate several answers and
questions. which do not appear
IN my notebook and which, ! am
not positive that / heard. / did
not hear Mayor Woodward men
ton chief Beavers or Chief Ian
ford during the whole converse
ton, nor did ] write IL in the
transcription Of my notes these
names being evidently added by
other parties At 4:3O Thursday

scribing my notes and turned the
papers over 10 Mr. FEBRUARY. Later
on during the morning he came
down 20 the office. bringing an
affidavit which ] had written for
me 10 sign before a notary pub
lie He told me that they had
made only a few minor changes
'n the transcription and that an

Colyar and the reporters. just
before / started 10 transCribe my
notes. argued as 20 the number
Of copies that should be- made
They agreed that one copy should
be made for the Chief. one for
Colyar and one for The Journal.
and that no more should be- made.
This kept me from having a copy.
7 had my notebook. however. and
IL was the comparison OF my
notes with the published articles
that led 10 my discovery that iu

and questions which Co'yar had
personally dictated. other changes
had been made. namely the in

Beavers and Chief Lanfor5 TN the
conference with Mayor Wood
ward. also many other variations
occurred. changing the sense %
the statement. and since they had
my affidavit attached 10 the pa
