Cy O Westville some four or five miles into the hill country and stopped on the road in front of a farmhouse; that the young man got out, went up to the farmhouse and that he, Plemmons, told the young man he did not wish to meet any outlaws and that he climbed a bill, sat down on a log and observed the young man go from the fermhouse to a large hay barn, from which he saw three men emerge; that he was so far away he could not identify any of them but one was a tall man, the second a eamal) one, end the third a heavy-cet man. He atated that he remained on the log until the young man completed his business, although he did not see any papers signed, nor did he know what took place between this young man and the three alleged outlaws, and thet they then left and drove back to Saline. He stated they left Salina that morning about nine o'clock and returned at five in the afternoon. Plemons told me that he has never seen Floyd and that he does not imow whether the woman who came with the young man is in fact the mother of Floyd. . Plenmons accompanied Agent Deacerick and me to Westville and thence to the byroad he said waa traveled by him and the young man on Merch 12th. We drove many miles farther than Plemmons said he and the young man drove. This wes during the daytime. He could not recognize any farmhouse as the one he said he and the young man went to on Marob izgth. We drove Plemmons for severel houre over practically every road within many miles of the vicinity where he stated he and the young man drove on March 12th, but he was uneble to recognize any place seen aa the fermhouse alleged to heave been visited by him and the young man. After all of thie driving Plemmons stated that he and the young man had a bottle on the day that they left the farmhouse, but hed not drunk any before they arrived there and that he did not believe that they were drunk when they left, Plemmons stated that he just mst be mistaken, that probably they went through some town other then Westville, but he could not think of the name of it. Plemonse stated that the young man with him eaid that the nome the man who, operated the farm on which the hay barn was located is named ong, Tiret vofoe unknown, and thet this man Long is supposed to be an uncle of one JackvLong, a one-time notorious character in Oklehoma. Plemmone said, however, that he didn't see Long and doesn't know in fact that the young man ia telling the truth and all of his staterenta are predicated upon wheat the young man told him. Aithough Plemmons wus unable to locate any farmhouse or place which he said he visited on March 12th, he insisted that he had seen just what. he hes reported and that he feels that possibly if Floyd were not at +. ~
