In an interview given out by Philip
Burris before he was taken from the
Henderson Jail to the penitentiary,
he stated that Blanche Register had
administered the poison. He hurled
the bitterest denunciation against
the young woman and said that her
soul was mean and black. He said
that she had insisted on his killing
the Register family and that he had
prevented it on more than one occa-
sion.
Miss Register was told of the state
ment that was made to the newspa-
pers by Burris and burst into tears.
saying that she was now fully con-
WINGED that he was a cowardly de-
fallen so low that not con-
tent with murder, would still at
tempt to throw the blame on the one
person who had sought to believe in
him.
