Mrs. BIaIOek Gone
While the prosecutors are striving
hard to cut short the police career
of the gray haired veteran Of 81
years of police service, Mrs. Blalock
will be speeding to her present home
| in Chicago. SEE left this city last
night because Department OF Justies
agents would no longer be able to
guard her.
when Mrs. BIalock arrived here
from Chica~o last Thursday q squad
OF Department Of Justice agents
surrounded her and followed her like
shadows every minute of the time
she was here.
This was done because Mrs. Bla-
lock said CAPTAIN Burlingame had
warned her that II she ever told
anything Of their relations wen
both 20 to he'll together"
She feared for her life, she said.
Appeared Before Jury
The Department of Justice was
given authority to guard the dinain.
utive palmist only until after she
\ had completed her testimony before
the Grand Jury. She went before
the Grand Jury yesterday morning

IL Mrs. Blalock was afraid Of Cap
tain Burlin game she did not show
| 1t by her demeanor at the trial
board sessions Saturday and Mon.
day. She stared hard at the veteran
policeman several times and seemed
more at ease than =.
When her testimony was com
! pleted Monday night she told Bride
| she would like to stay until the
| trial was over. Bride told her he
would like to have her to offer re-
buttal testimony when the defense
| has completed its case. But the
District has no funds to pay the
expenses of trial board witnesses,
so Mrs. Blalock left.
The testimony of the little middle
aged palmist. whose past life il as
colorf'h as her appearance In the
Burlingame case, will be the key
stone of the prosecutions case.
Only One Signed
All prosecution testimony at se%
sions from now on. Bride indicated,
will be designed to back up Mrs.
Blalock's story. She identified a
number OF typewritten love letters
as having been sent her by Burlin
game. Only one Of these letters is
signed.
Mrs. BlaIock'S sisters mention Of
whom caused the PIANIST to break
down and cry Monday. may h-
brought before the board as defense
witnesses.
When William E. I.eshy. chief
defense counsel, questioned Mrs.
Blslock about her sisters Monday
she sobbed:
Please leave my sisters out Of
this. You can do anything yosI
want with me but don't drag my
family into this. :"
Eeahy attempted to show that one
OF Mrs. Blalock's sisters purchased
an Underwood typewriter six years
ago. The love letters are said to
have been written on that kind Of a
machine.
Although the findings of the Trial
Board will have no bearing on the
inquiry being made by the Grand
Jury, the jury is not expected TO
report results OF It's investigation
for at least two weeks. BY that
time the case before the Trial
Board will have heen completed.
