what vast difference. The motive
mere, perfectly apparent in the lam
guage of his first answer, in the Sec
ond statement. What DO you want
me TO do now?' That is his attitude.
That was his attitude all through this
case. What do you want me to do
now?' Now, what additions did he
make in his second statement? These
are contradictions I show YOU
Did he make any additions? Yes. In
his second statement he swore to this
additional thing: That Harry told him
to say to Witherspoon, after Witness
ing the notes, using the name of the
Saviour, What a lot of big bills
What was the motive of that? No
way on earth could the state find any
proof whatever to show that this loan
was fraudulent. Up to the present
time no person on earth but Blixt inn
peaches that loan. The state had this
willing witness. They could use him
wherever they wanted to. He was in
COLLISION WITH ADRY.
They were both in their charge.
Therefore, in order to throw suspicion
on the loan TO give wrong color TO
the witnessing of a note, to suggest to
the jury fraud, he adds, against the
tenor and effect of his former state
ment, in which he admitted that the
loan was all regular, that there was a
great deal of money; that the lady
said, Il think shall fall dead, | have
so much money" that it was on the
square. That was his first statement.
He then invents and swears to ii be-
fore you in his second statement and
swears to it again before you, gentle.

statement he said Harry told me to
say to Witherspoon, after Witnessing a
note, what a lot of big bills
Now. the motive there is plain, is it
not? The exigency of the state is
plain there, and the use of this per-
jurer is confession of his ability and
his Willingness and the necessity of his
perjury. What are you going to do
with the testimony of such a man as
that? Are you going to shut your eyes
upon it? Are you going to discard It?
Are you going to say, as you said
when they brought Blixt here, if you
bring up murderer, bring up a man
who tells true, consistent and never
changing story. Show up his genuine
penitence and let him tell the truth,
corroborate that truth, and we will
convict. But when they bring him up,
and show that he is constantly chang
ing to meet their exigencies in order
