“Yes, sir.”
“Then you caught a glimpse of the papers he selected?”
“I did, sir. I could not help it. I had to wait, for he wished me to relieve him of the ones he didn’t want.”
“And you did this?”
“Yes; I took them from his hand and laid them on the table to which he pointed.”
“Now for the ones he kept. Describe them.”
“Two large envelopes, sir, larger than the usual legal size, brown in color, I should say, and thick with the papers that were in them.”
“Had you ever seen any envelopes like these before?”
“Yes, on Mr. Bartholomew’s desk the day I was called in to witness his signature.”
“Very good. There were two of them, you say?”
