BLIXT is RECALLED,
COntradicts Statement Made by
G.. A. Warren


attorney Hall here read Blixt's two
statements made on Sunday, Dec. 8,
1894. In the first statement Blixt ac-
cused Harry of having committed the
murder, and In the other he confessed
that he did the killing himself.)
AT this juncture BliXt was called to
the stand. He came forward bowling
and smiling, and in his weak way
appeared to regard himself as con-
siderable parsonage. When he got
fairly seated and looked about him,
his eyes rested for a brief moment
on the face of the defendant. The
latter leaned forward slightly and
half closed his eyes as he gazed in
tently at the murderer. Blixt in
stantly averted his gaze and kept
his eyes on Attorney Hall.
Q. Where, Mr.. Blixt, were you the
last week in December and first week
in January last? A. Well, [ don't
know. l suppose l was in jail.

Q. Did you say anything similar in
meaning? A. 1 might have said the rest
of it, but l didn't say 1 had my feet out

side.
Q. All I want is for you to answer
that question? A. Yes; that is right.
c. A. Warren, employed as deputy
sheriff by James H. Eye last Deem
Der, was next called. Witness testi-
fed that he knew Blixt and conversed
with him in December while relieving

clothes was because he had the lap

The snowfiakes of New England fall

From the Wintry East they're comm,
where the wind on Plymouth

They're bringin' of the cotton mills to

They've heard the word O. welcome, as
it passed from mouth to mouth:
They've turned their eyes to bluer
skies; they're headin' for the
South
They're all a-crossin' of the line, where
old Potomac flows
They're bringin' of the cotton mills to
where the cotton grows.
An soon you'll see the spindles-hear

An you'll hear the silver jingle, and

For they're bringin' of the cotton mills
