tell the little girl she had gone with
another fellow and she would say
NO
He said that he had to make up
$4,000 to do his plans in the East. He
would get $4,000 out of this and he
must make $1,000 some other way"
"Well, when next did you see him?'
Late that evening. 1t was about
dark. He came in with bottle of
whisky
What kind Of bottle was it?'
"It was a pint bottle"
What kind of a cork did it have?
"It had screw top made of tin
"Well, go on; state what was said
and DONE"
well, he said, 'Blixt. here's some
whisky He said, You Cd ID
fool, this amt any common whisky.
Then I took it and he said 1 couldn't
have the bottle. 1 got another bottle
and poured it into that. 1 drank half
of it. Then he said, She's got to die
| tonight and you've got to help me-.
I said, Harry, haint you got some
l., other way to make money than that?'
He said,1It's nothing to kill people,
He said that he'd killed two other
people One was a Chinaman and he
didn't say who the other one was. He
said he'd wounded the third. L said,
| L can't help you do that He said
You've got to help me kill her or I'll
J kill you 1 didn't pay any attention
to that and then he said he didn't like
my wife. He said he thought it would
be better if I was away from her.
If L didn't help him kill her then he said
he would kill my wife.
81 told him, Whatever you do, don't
kill my wife-don't touch my wife.
You can do anything you like with me,
but don't touch my wife, don't hurt
her -
Here the witness broke down at the
recollection and the voice which had
been faltering for some time ceased
entirely as he gave way to his feelings.
! At last resuming the narrative, Blixt
continued, Harry said. If you come
with me and do as l say you are all
right 1 say to him, You can do as
you like with me, but don't hurt my
wife. Then Harry said to me, You
know when l plan, it's planned way
down, and no one can find it out. You
take my revolver and sign receipt
| told him that | wouldn't sign re-
ceipt. Then he wanted me to tie a
string to the revolver so that 1 wouldn't
lose it. 1 wouldn't do that either.
Then he gave me six extra long cart
ridges to put in the reVolverS and the
six others. l was to take the long ones
out and put the right ones in when it
was all done. He said to me, Come up
to my room in the fiat when you're
ready and I'll show you
After a time he came running down
to me and says it's time to CO. l put
on my coat and vest. I had my pants
on. AS I started my wife asked me
to ask Harry if she could have her
sewing machine up stairs. 1 asked him
but he didn't answer me. He said,
Go out Hennepin until you come to
Kenwood and wait there until you see
me. Then follow me-
II went out there and pretty soon I
saw him coming; across a lot there,
where there's path. He coughed
and then l followed him. He crossed
Lyndale, and crossed Lyndale. Then
L saw the buggy. 1t came up and
stopped. Then I stopped by the
buggy. He talked a while and then
said: Get in there I got in and lost
my cap. He told me to drive out Hen
nepin TO Lake, and he would come with
a team. He said: Keep your head
inside He said: This mans in the
gang to Miss Cling.
just as he had said. l left him on Hen
nepin.''
Did you see him again?'
mo, not that I know of. I forgot
something. He said: After you have
killed her, take the e-robe with you till
you leave the horse, then drop the robe
and turn the horse loose like a run
away When l got to the ice house,
she asked me if Hayward was buying
green goods. l told her 1 didn't know.
Then she says: I was held up out
here once 1 asked her if she lost
anything, and she said: mo; we put
our rings in our mouths After we
had crossed the street car track she
asked me what l had down there by
my side. I told her it was a revolver.
1 said Harry said it was best to have
it. She kept looking out all the time,
and / kept thinking. 1t was fight
with me in the head all the time. 1
thought 1 would get out, and then 1
thought of my wife, and 1 stayed in the
buggy. 1 tried ten times to do it, and
it was always fighting in the head.
Finally I fired the shot. 1 don't know
how. it happened. l hit her where he
said 1 should. Then she threw her
head back like this throwing his own
head back to show how the action was
done. Il went on about thirty or forty
yards further, and then 1 thought I'd
have to get out. I moved her legs
so''-stooping over and initiating the
motion required to lift the legs of a
person out of piano-box buggy.
.'Then she went out-so. She struck
her head on the wheel, and then she
went over so, on the ground
The action accompanying this recital
was most dramatic, as the witness,
with uplifted hands, threw his whole
body forward, as though falling.
81 left the buggy on Lake street,
two and half blocks from hyndale,"
continued Blixt.
"I object, that this is immaterial,"
