The following pages contain a correct copy of the report of assistant superintendent Harry Scott, dated May 27, 1913, and sent to the National Pencil Company on May 31, 1913:

Asst. Supt. H. S. reports:
Atlanta, Georgia Tuesday May 27th, 1913.

This afternoon detective John Black and myself again closely questioned the negro James Conley, and he began to show signs of weakness. We endeavored to impress upon him the importance of telling us the truth and left him to believe that Mr. Frank would not commit a crime of this sort and have him write the notes for Mr. Frank on Friday as stated by Conley in his previous affidavit.

We were unable, however, to get Conley to change his statement and I discontinued at 8:00 P.M.

Reported.
Atlanta 5/31/13.
