"She said if I didn't sign it she would call that man back again. Then I signed it."
"Did you call Miss Barrett any names that night?"
"Yes, I told her that she was a beast and that Mrs. Kenyon was another."
"Tell the jury what you did."
"I tried to scream, but Miss Barrett put a towel over my mouth and she said if I screamed again she would choke me."
The girl declared that Mrs. Kenyon and Miss Barrett had prevented her resisting the man.
She declared she had cried and when she went home she asked two women to call a policeman. "They told me to go to Captain O'Brien's office the next day and I did," said Miss Gingles.
"Did you have any money?" was asked.
"No, Miss Barrett took all my money out of my purse."
