Pointing her finger at Mcdonald,
while they stood in the corridor,
the sister said:
You are alone the cause OF all
this, and you alone are responsible.
There has been nothing but trouble

"Shut up" Mcdonald yelled in
another effort TO get at his sis

make a fool out Of yourself"
But the sister continued:
You are the man who murdered
her. Shot your own wife three
times"

The sister said that her brother

cause she had induced her sister

she said. 'He got her up on the

that he killed her"

At a drafht, though IL was filled

Evidently the King did not appreci-
ate my success, for he called out,
No, no more" Such tricks were
formerly an Indispensable part OF
the diplomats trade. They made
the weaker ones intoxicated,
wormed all they wanted TO know
out OF them, and made them agree
