that postcard along to him?
H: About ten past seven, soon
after Mr.. Blame came ON board.
I wrote it In the small writing
room here and sent 1t down at
once.
K: What were you so anxious
to see him about2
H.: It Is quite simple. I have
the disposal Of the soap monopoly
Of my country in my hands. I
must get the best price for my
country that I can. I have been
negotiating for its sale by corre-
spondence with both Mr.. Rock
savage and Mr.. Blame, but neither
would make me a definite offer.
I knew that II these two once
got together the chances were
that they would arrange an ANAL
gamation. That would have put
an end to their competition and
my government would have had
TO accept a much lesser price In
consequence. 1t was my business,
therefore, to try and arrange a
deal with one Of these two gentle
men before they met.
80
I spoke to Mr.. Rocksavage soon
after I came on board In the after
noon, and he was unwilling to deal
with me until he had seen Mr..
Blame. His position was, Of course,
thenu far stronger than Mr.. Blane's
because the shares Of the Blame
companies had been falling SO
heavily during the past few weeks.
In consequence. determined to see
Mr.. Blanc, If I could, and try to
persuade him to make firm deal
with me. II he had done so it would
have strengthened his position In
dealing with Mr.. Rocksavage ire
mendously.
I do not know If you are well
acquainted with the methods of
finance but whichever of these
gentlemen had purchased the
monopoly I have to offer would
have been able to float a new is
sue upon it and, thereby, draw
much fires capital, which they
badly needed, into their concerns.
I hoped that Mr.. Blame might
have been persuaded to see the
wisdom of saving himself in this
manner, before he opened nego-
tiations with Mr.. Rocksavage.
K: And what did you hope to
gain for yourself, If you could
have pulled the deal off?
H.: For myself, nothing. I am
only the employee Of the Shikoku
Products Company.
K: SO you say, but what were
you standing IN to make on the
side?
H.: This suggestion you make
is one which resent most strong
Iy.
K: Now you can cut out that
high moral stuff right away, and
I'm warning you that you had best
come clean. Mr.. RockSayage has
given me the lowdown on the sit
uation. You'd have us believe
that you're trying to get the high
est price you can for the Shi-
koku people, who are acting for
your government, but that is not
the mase. The thing you're inter-
ested in is the highest bride you
can get to split with the Totomi
Soap people, in order to stall them
Off from wrecking the deal.
Rocksavage told me himself that
he had promised you 100000
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-17

to split with them If the deal went
through. It's my opinion that you
were scared that If Rocksavage
and Blame got together, they would
no longer be prepared to pay you
enough 10 square the Totomi peo-
pie, so the whole thing would have
fallen through.
H.: That 1 deny.
X: Deny it If you like, but it's
the truth and we can prove It,.
In consequence 1t becomes quite
plain now that you had the
strongest possible motives for get
ting rid of Blame. II he and
Rocksavage had ever got together
it looked as If you were going to
lose your share Of a million dol
lars.
H.: Do I understand that you
accuse me of the murder OF this
man, Blame?
K: That's about what 1t looks
like to me
H.: No, no-please. You make
here big mistake. I have no
hand in that-none whatever.
K: Do you deny that Rock
savage had offered you big bride
which you intended to split with
the Totomi Soap Company, and
that you feared you would lose
it If Rocksavage and Blame came
to an understanding?
H.: On that question I give not
my answer now. I reserve 1t for
my defense, should you make the
error to charge me with this
crime.
K: Unfortunately you are I'M
able to prove any alibi. You say
you went to your cabin at $40
and you did not arrive changed in
the lounge i.
H.: But I came up again. I
wrote the postcard which you
found in Mr.. Blane's cabin, here,
in this writing room, between
seven and ten past.

Brain TwizzIers

Two brothers were city employees
and were assigned to the task OF
painting the lamp posts along new
boulevard. Joe was to do the lamp
posts on one side OF the street, Jim
those on the other side. There were.
OF course, the same number on each
side. On the morning they were to
start work Joe arrived ahead OF
time and had three posts on one
side done when Jim appeared and
said, Hey, you're on the wrong
side Of the street: this Is my side!"
SO Joe moved over to the other side
and started in again. Some time
later Jim finished his side and went
over to Joe,s side and did three OF
the posts there. Then, being a faster
worker than Joe, he decided to help
Joe so he did three more. How many
