“He had for a chum a man named George Blanchard.

“Blanchard also died in the hospital.

“Previous to his death he made some kind of a confession to my brother in regard to a will case.

“I tried to get out of my brother what the confession was about, but he would not tell me.

“Three months ago I was looking through a trunk which contained some things belonging to my brother, and I found an old memorandum book.

“I opened it, and I was surprised to find written in it a short account of Blanchard’s confession.

“I was interested.

“At the end of the confession I found a note.”

“What was it?”

“I will get the book and read it to you.”
