RE DIRECT EXAMINATION.

Q

How do you remember this 23^rd day of April so to speak?

A

Well because the next morning we was talking about this Frenchman that was in the store and I told the officer, he was up there and looking around and I told him that Frenchman, that he was so anxious to get the car to go away, that it would be well to look him up.

Q

That was he next morning after you saw them?

A

The next morning after the murder yes, sir.

Q

When did you first hear about this murder?

A

I didn’t hear of it until the next morning, when I went to the store my partner told me.
