Detective Starnes brought Kelly and
Reed face to face and Kelly said that
Reed wasn’t the negro he saw running
ncross the park, although he admitted
that Reed looked very much like the
man he saw. Fifteen minutes later
the two negroes were brought together
again and Kelly said: “I believe he Is
the man I saw: yes, that’s him."
Kelly was asked why he changed his
opinion, and said! "I'm In trouble my
self and want to get out.”
