He had, said Miss Lewis, "plenty of money," flashing a large roll of bills. When she asked him if he were not afraid to carry so much money, he said he "wasn't when he had his guns," whereupon he tore open his coat exposing two large revolvers." Miss Lewis also identified Annie Rogers as Logan's companion, stating that, although Annie was dressed "plainly" when they arrived, the day after that she had been wearing expensive new clothes. She reported that both Logan and Lewis drank a great deal but never got drunk.

Next up was Annie herself, nervous and pale. She repeated her denials of knowing who Nevils really was, not knowing the money was stolen, and denying that she ever forged the bills. She did, however, admit that she had "bled Nevils and got all the money I could." She took from him frequently, she said, and had worked him for about $500 by the time they reached Nashville. Annie then stepped down from the witness stand.

Backing her up was a deposition from Harvey Logan, read by defense attorney West. In it, Logan, at the Knoxville jail, said he had been with Annie at Linck's Hotel the day she was arrested, and that she had left him in mid-afternoon. When she didn't return, Logan "thought that she had quit me." He said that he had given her the money and that it was signed before she got it.

In their closing arguments, prosecutor Vaughn called her a greedy opportunist, a liar, and accused her of aiding and abetting Logan's escape. Defense attorney West said she was just an unsophisticated country girl who had been duped by a clever criminal.

The jury came back to a packed courtroom with a verdict in fewer than two hours. "Not guilty!!" A relieved and thrilled Annie Rogers shook hands with each jury member, her lawyer, and the judge. Spectators crowded around her voicing their approval of the verdict, while Annie expressed pleasure at being given a "fair deal."

Annie then asked for her $500 back, claiming it was her money after all, but the court eventually ruled that she was not entitled to it.

Annie Rogers left Tennessee and returned to Texas where she followed Logan's exploits in the papers and wrote to him. Logan was captured in Jefferson City following a fight in a Knoxville saloon where he broke a man's nose in a quarrel and shot two Knoxville Police Officers who opened fire on him.

Logan was subsequently tried, convicted, and sentenced to life in Tennessee Prison. Using a wire from a jailhouse broom, Logan engineered his escape from the Knox County jail. He killed himself a few months later after a failed bank robbery.
