 The prisoner was asked to toll the offi. eera what he know about the Gibbs mur- der. For two hours they fired questions at Robinson, trying him first on one tack and then on another He dodaed and squirmed and fought them at every turn. At first the prisoner showed plenty of as- suranoc but finally it became apparent that he was giving way under the strain. One of the turnkeys took him aside then and urged him to be a man and make clean broast of the matter
