Was anybody else with you?—No.
Mrs. Redfern, the landlady of “The Stag,” was called into the court, and Mr. Lockwood asked: Was there not a man with you?—No; I was by myself.
Now (looking at Mrs. Redfern), will you swear that?—A man followed me in and sat down beside me.
Was that man the prisoner?—No.
Will you swear that?—I would almost swear that the prisoner was not the man.
That will not do. On your oath, did not this man go into the “Stag” on that night with you?—No, he did not.
Did he not follow you in?—I don’t know that he did, unless he made himself different from what he is now.
On your oath was it not this man?—To the best of my belief it was not. He seemed a man about thirty-five years of age.
What did you mean by saying just now that you would almost swear he was not the man?—Because he was so much in the habit of disguising himself.
So it might have been him? Did you speak to the man?—I don’t remember.
