Paul, "The things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to the devils." Those suspected of heresy and witchcraft must confess; they were to be tortured until they did confess. This made suspicion equivalent to confession and conviction. In the witch "trial" the victim must not only incriminate herself but her accomplices, or all whom she "knew" to be in partnership with the Devil.
"You remember," she said, "that once you spoke of not having to incriminate yourself. You refused to answer a question I asked you on that ground. Now, I think this is a case in which I would be quite justified in refusing to answer.
I was carrying one or two other articles, such as a revolver, about me. I saw that although they were apparently harmless, and could be fully explained, they would incriminate me only still more. I promptly got rid of them. I had half-a-mind to discard my little camera also, but somehow or other I could not bring myself to part with this. I thought it might come in useful.
He meant to use the answers, with all discreet reserve, in his next novel. Do English novelists receive any private information, and if they do not, how are we to reconcile their knowledge they are all love-adepts with the morality of their lives? "We live like other people, only more purely," says the author of "Some Private Views," which is all very well. No man is bound to incriminate himself.
Still, the justice of his capture appealed to the German, trained in the soldier's school, for it was true that he had transgressed the law, and knowingly. That he should have yielded to the weakness aroused his irritability. "I am a fool," he ejaculated. "You-all needn't say anything to incriminate yo'self," said the deputy, more from habit than because the remark was appropriate.
Lomax would never consent to an elopement, has paid another woman a former mistress of his to incriminate Harvey Lomax, while the audacious old humbug, his father-in-law, does the business of a detective. Ariana's dream of happiness is dissipated. She hardens into indifference. The revelation completes the disillusionment which had already begun.
Sometimes I laugh, and then I am frightened at myself I did it just then; it was at the thought that here am I, writing letters I, who have always thought letters that incriminate were the weakness of fools, the blind spot of intelligence I, who have profited by letters written in anger, in love, in the passion of money-getting everything I'm writing writing from my bursting heart.
Why, the Madame could have burned her at the stake and Nance would never have said a word to incriminate that Montgomery crowd. "And there won't be a teacher to object. She's on all their good books. Me? Of course I've an axe to grind," and Jennie laughed. "She's my roommate, and if she gets the 'high hat' I'll hope to bask in her reflected glory." Jennie Bruce was an excellent politician.
Thorndyke directed an inquiring glance at Reuben Hornby, remarking "You are not called upon to incriminate yourself in any way, Mr. Hornby, but I must know what position you intend to adopt." Here I again proposed to withdraw, but Reuben interrupted me. "There is no need for you to go away, Dr. Jervis," he said.
True, there were circumstances which might serve to incriminate Robert Fenley; but if that young man were really responsible for the crime, he was what "the Yard" classes privately as a monumental idiot, since his subsequent conduct was well calculated to arouse the suspicion which the instinct of self-preservation would try to avert.
