led to her arrest, said as she went
to court yesterday to appear against
Louise.

Merself, the voice said. Others were
from different people. One told me
Ao beware of a young foreigner who
is supposed to be shadowing me. I
■'haven’t been able to detect him,
tieither have I armed myself. I don’t
believe anyone will carry out the I
threats.”
