Mrs. Blixt stated that after Harry
came out of the sweat box, BliXt had
said to him: Now, 1 have always
been an honest man. [ tried to do
everything that is right. l can prove
this by my wife, but if she goes down
town and gets killed, how am 1 to ac-
count for myself if l can't explain
where 1 was. BliXt seemed to be quite
nervous. He was even pale. Harry
said in d half loud voice, Foolish, fool
ish.' - [ said: what do you get ex-
cited for? You have nothing to do
with it."
