Looking in the index of that book, I find several entries for Justice Olin and his interviews. I'm not sure if the text contains all of his interviews, but it at least has all of those kept by the government.

A hardcover copy of the book sells for over $100, but a searchable ebook version is only $9.99 on Amazon.

Dave and Linda:

Thank you for the responses. I was able to access the Edwards-Steers book online and review the references to A. B. Olin. It was helpful. What I am looking for is any documentation of an interview with Clara Harris other than her affidavit. I have not been able to find anything. I had posted some questions about Harris a couple of years ago on this site, and after spending some time on it, I felt I had gone down a rabbit hole. I thought I would give it a second look to see if I could find anything. What continues to baffle me is the attributions made to her by Noah Brooks about seeing Booth earlier in the evening, as contrasted with her affidavit, which, from my reading, tracks closely to what Rathbone swore to and makes no mention of the earlier sighting.
