"And why should you have any special fears of breaking your neck?"
"The path is so uneven, sir. No man could run for much of the way without endangering his life or at least his limbs."
"Did you run when you could?"
"Yes, sir."
"And in those places where you could not run, did you proceed as fast as you knew how?"
"Yes, sir."
"Very well; now I think it is time you told the jury just how many minutes it took you to go from Mrs. Clemmens' door to the Monteith Quarry Station."
"Well, sir, according to my watch, it took one hundred and five minutes."
Mr. Orcutt glanced impressively at the jury.
"One hundred and five minutes," he repeated. He then turned to the witness with his concluding questions.
