“Not very, sir. I remember that the top one was in a dark brown envelope and bulky.”
“Which side was up?”
“The flap side.”
“Sealed?”
“No, open; that is loose, not fastened down.”
“You noticed that?”
“I couldn’t help it. It was right under my eyes.”
“Did you notice anything else? That there was a second envelope in the pile similar to the one on top.”
“I cannot say that I did. The papers were all bunched, you see, and I just lifted them quickly and put them in the drawer.”
“Why quickly?”
