I did not know Michael Haley at tba! linn-; 1
thought h name was Begin y ; he -u i . I it was ;
I toid bim h could see me, but nt at tiial time,

formed that James May was ut lin house. I
met a man whom J did uol know, hut nil. r aid
learned thai it was George LeVeiis. When I
came bark to the railroad crossing L' V. n- asked
me whether I saw that man that wanted to see
ue. H said I knew him. After I cam back
from May? I met Haley at the railroad crossing.
He told me Phil. Delaney wanted lo s. e about
going over to take that money. 1 told hitn I
would not go or have anything to do about rob
bing anybody. Ue just wanted me to gn along
and show him the place, but I would not. Then
tbey said they would come over on Saturday and
I should show them tbe direction. That I did
not need to go along. On Saturday morning
