The mayor testified that he, too, saw Grace Green apparently urging the crowd to "come on." He declared he also saw Batt ln conversation with Inspector Taylor but could not hear the discussion. Under questioning by Mrs. Ray, he stated he saw Batt move to the back of the crowd after this conversation. He told the court that he did not see Slack, McKenzie or Morrison.
