Just before tho fatal meeting Rhodes tapped his waistcoat pocket, saying: "Tho razor is in here." Witness replied, Don't b e silly." The next morning she found Rhodes crying in tho kitchen. He said: "You will seo in Saturday's newspapers what I've done." Rhodes's sister screamed when called into the witness box.
