mad been lying about the place for
some time. He cut the rail, and on
sunday night met Kate out on First
avenue north, with the rail under my
coat. She stopped for me, and then
1--we drove out to Lake street and out.
% Lake Calhoun. 1t was my purpose
70 smash her with the rail and then
make the horse bump the buggy on q
fsofner and have her thrown out, hll-.
Could not find a proper place again,
ina SO / Let that go. When we were
out Oh the road, near the house 1
spoke of before. l dropped the. Z rail-
put, and she heard it, She wanted to
know what that was and told her
It was u Wn1fiie tree That had thrown
out for marker, and that it was to
oe signal, and when we came back
could tell if it was all right for the
money that night. Or course it was
not all right, and SO I told Blixt I
could not get a chance and worked
nlm up to do it the next night.
The last time l saw her that Mon
DAY was at IL o'clock in the morning,
when / made the appointment to meet
her. T did not see her again until I
left her with BliXt. That other man
business and the note to her that
| afternoon was something else that i
don't know anything about. T tcld
her then that I would be sure to get
the money that night, but that we
must be cautious. We must not be
seen together going out, and that she
must not question Blixt going out Iti
was rule of the gang that hone OF
them working a deal. She agreed, and
everything was arranged. ...,
| Fixing His Al1bi
l. II had lots Of places to cover, and L
had to be seen about the flats as much
as possible. I was everywhere, and
all the people there fixed the time
about right. 1t was about 7:15 when
ran over to First avenue north and
met Kate. We drove little way up,
and told her. where to meet me. Them
l hurried back to the flat, running from
Lyndale across to Hennepin. don't
think the witness jerks saw me, for
he was fully twenty minutes off in
his time, although was at that point
at that time that evening, in front Of
the sign. Wilson was fully that
amount off in his time also, and l
think he was mistaken, for don't re-
member meeting a rig. Well, I hur-
ried back and set Blixt off, ran up
stairs a minute to help the alibi, then
went after Blixt. After met him we
walked together little way, and he
was so bloodthirsty that he wanted to
turn the buggy upside down and rip
open the horse. told him that would
not do, because he would need the
l horse to get away. Then he went to
the buggy just as he said, but he lied
some. g.
~ never spoke, to him of green
| goods SO T cont see how he could
i have heard that, and I am sure she
did not. He took that from cue OF
the state, and the nitro -glycerine and
| the rest, with that threatening his
wife, was his attorneys work in fix
j ing up bis case. Well, I left them and
the rest we must believe Blixt for as
i far as the killing goes. He carried
out my instructions about the revolver
and changing the bullets and cleaning
the gun. The bullets he used had been
filed down so that they would weigh,
I thought, about the same as a thirty
i two, while my gun was a thirty-eight.
j Then ! went over to Barte1son's to
make my alibi good. They are all Oft
I Eon the time, and here is, the eXplana-
ton. 1t was not three minutes either
way when I left B1ixt and Kate, from
twenty minutes to 8 o'clock. Now,
Bartelson's clock was Is minutes slow
according to my time, and I did not
really arrive there until II minutes
after 8, while his clock said four mill
utes of 8, and when looked at my
watch I pretended mine was the same
time. This gave me 35 minutes, to
make the Bartelson residence, so plen-
ty of time to present myself again at
I, nrxo1 IL Sc
the time testified to by my mother.
''Then I hurried to Bartelson's, and
we did not arrive at the theater until
the first act was nearly over. This
will account for the discrepancy ii
time which puzzled the state. It also
gave Blixt about the right time .tc
drive to the lake and do the work al
the time he testified to. Had he
started later he could not have done
{ it.
At First He Was Scared.
"That night the first I heard was
that there had been runaway ac
cident, and was never so scared ir
, my life. I was afraid she was no1
dead and would talk. You may be
