Well, listen, this is what I want you to do now, and boy be sure and do it, for it is all that will do any good. Well, I told Harry to do some of it. But I have not heard from him yet. Listen, I want you to go around to Bill Cafe and get three meal tickets from him and punch the 3 of them out, and *387let Bill sign my name on them and date one of them on the 29th Sept. That is when that crime happened. Now, what I have got to do is prove that I was out there on that day, and all so the day after and the day before, witch was on the 28th of September. Now, listen, you goe to Fat Bentley and get several gas tickets and tell him to Be sure and Make out several of them so they can show that I was up there that week, Far sure, and tell Fat to keep a carbon copie of them, and tell Fat to swear that I got Gas there on that day witch was the 29th of Sept., and tell him I was driving Miller truck and stick to it, and tell Leon wife to swear I eate 3 meal in Bill Place that day, that is all that will do me any good at all. Boy, they are going to try to put me in the chair far that god damn mess. Boy, I am going to have ever one up there brought here, because I sure am going to need them. You tell every one when that happen. Well, I had my hearing today and they set my bond at $5,000.00. I don’t know who in the hell I will get to make it. It sure is plenty high. They got 2 charges against 3 of us. Well, they did not set the date of trial yet. So, I guess they will come and get me tomorrow and take me back to jail.
