“Not that I know of. He was very non-committal about his affairs.”
“He was a good butler,” the coroner commented.
“Yes. Excellent. If you mean, did he carry enough money on his person to invite robbery, I should say that I don’t think he did. Of course I don’t know for certain. However, I know that he had banking connections in Ochakee.”
“What of your other employees. Do you know anything about them?”
“They all came recommended. I know nothing further except, of course, in regard to my housekeeper and chauffeur.”
“Your chauffeur is a colored man?”
“Yes. He has been with me for four years. A man of good character and habits.”
“Do you know where he was at the time of the murder?”
“I do not.”
