When he returned home that night, he swears, he was given a whipping by his father. He prayed for forgiveness. Me says, his prayers that night having been longer than usual. Kpps likewise arcuses Solicitor Hugh Dorsey of having encouraged his al legedly "faked" teatlmony, and of hay ing aided Detective Black. In conclud ing the document, he swears: "I do this In the hope of making myself clearly understood and in ex plaining how l was persuaded by De tective Black and encouraged by So licitor Dorsey to swear falsely. 1 have been sorry for this false swearing ever since the trial of Mr. Flank, and I say again l a>m glad of the chance to ex plain It and relieve my mind of the falsehood* 1 have told in this case. 1 am willing and hope that this sworn statement will he delivered to Mr. Ros ser. who was the attorney for Mr. Frank, as II Is every word true."
