AGREED TO CONFESS.
The Scheme Fixed Up by Adry and
DIfXt.

Let us bring BliXt up. When Blixt
made his first confession, where was
Adry Hayward? Adry Hayward was
detained, being examined by the very
men that BliXt made his first con-
fesSion to. When he made the first
confession what would it be, if it was
true as Miss Wachtler testifies, that
Adry and he put up the job to murder
Miss Cling, and to lay it on Harry If
they got caught. Now, both are caught;
one is in one Jail and the other is in
another hall. What is his first con-
fession? 1t is in accordance with his
deal with Adry. Now, let me see IL 1t

that they might just as well know the
truth, then, you know as
His first confession was made under
his agreement with Adry to put this on
Harry. And this remarkable man, had
no penitence, did not desire to tell the
truth until he heard that Adry was
talking, and when he heard that Adry
was talking, he thought he would
commence talking, too, and talked
alongside of Adry. This man. had
learned in some unaccountabIe way
that Adry was telling the truth, and
he Immediately then, in accordance
with his promise, began to tell the
truth, as Adry and he had agreed they
would tell it as true, and so he told
it, .
Question. do you make this state
ment of your own accord; you asked to
have the chief and the mayor come TO
you and hear your statement? Answer.
Yes" Gentlemen of the jury, there is
flash of light upon this cant, this re-
pentance, and this hypocrisy. You can
not escape it. 1t must make an impress
sion upon you. Yes, that is what
want to make, because that is true"
Now, what was true? That Harry
killed the woman and brought him the
body.
His pious declaration is Eyes, but
that is what I wanted to make clean
breasted, because that is true And
how did he verify that that was true?
IN hn 10 h,
says, well, / got to 20 that You see
it makes me cry when I begin to think
that they call me a murderer 1t makes
me always trouble Begin to cryi
With the hellish lie upon his lips that
Harry killed this woman and brought
the body to him out there beyond the
railroad; he begins to cry because they
called him murderer and make him
all this trouble. Look at the profound
deceptive ability of this man.
See how he commences to work upon
the minds of the self-established in
quisitors and grand jurors. See where
he first broke in upon their delibera-
tons, so that they did not think it
necessary to go before the grand jury
except just to put Adry before the
grand jury and have the man indicted
as matter of course, with only two
or three witnesses, as that is all there
is to the back of this indictment, to
use the grand jury for the purpose of
stilted charge which had been inves-
tigated outside of he grand Ulry.
Why: Because the tears of this arch.
f1end and murderer had Influenced
these inquisitors and the grand jurors
to such degree that they believed
this liar, this hypocrite.
Now, what was his first statement?
Now, here were the same tears and
the same repentance, but it had not
been perfected, don't you seel 1t was
perfected before it was brought in to
try to deceive you. Now, in his first
statement when he wants to make a
clean breast of it, when he wants to
tell the truth, according to his say-so,
but according to my theory and the cir
cumStantial evidence in this case. acr
cording to an agreement with Adry
that they would kill, or put up a, job
to kill this woman for money, and
would lay it onto Harry if they were
caught, and then being caught he made
this statement. -
Now, this statement is not wholly
untrue. There must be some elements
of truth in it. Try and ascertain what,
things would be naturally true in that
statement, and what things would be
naturally false, and you have the head
light from Miss Wachter to distinguish
those things. 81 left the house at 6:45,
