Statement of James Conley, of Atlanta, Ga. made to John R. Black and H. S. at Police Barracks, Atlanta, Ga. on Sunday, May 18th, 1913. My full name is James Conley. I reside at 172 Rhodes St. with Lorena Jones, who claims to be from Marietta, Ga. This woman is not my wife, and I have been living with her a little over two years. I have been having intercourse with Lorena Jones. I have been employed as elevator man and roust about at the National Pencil Co. factory in Atlanta for the past two years. Before going to the pencil factory, I was employed by Dr. Palmer at Broad and Mitchell Sts., Atlanta, Ga., as a buggy driver, and I worked for him about one year. Previous to that time I worked for the Orr Stationery Co., Atlanta, as a driver of wagons. Previous to that time I worked for Adam Woodward as a stable hand for a year and three months. Previous to that time I worked for Mr. Copes, wood yard, Atlanta for five years. I am now 27 years of age, and am single. On Saturday, April 26th, 1913, I arose between 9:00 A.M. and 9:30 A.M. and ate my breakfast. At 10:30 A.M. I left the house #172 Rhodes St., and went to Peters St., and visited a number of saloons between Fair and Haynes St.
