Continuing, Mr. Foster asked: Can you tell me how your husband fell?—​The witness: On his back rather slanting.

Was that in the passage or in the little court?—​It was in the little court.

What is the width of the court?—​It is about twice as wide as the passage.

Did you observe when he fell whether the side of his face went against the wall or not?—​He fell close to the wall, slanting, and then on his back.

You have been asked about going to a dining-room, near the market, with two children. I think you answered that you went for refreshments?—​Yes. The children were hungry, and I went to give them some refreshment.

My friend has asked you about a man bringing a note to you from Peace. Is that correct?—​Yes, but I sent it back again.

Have any others been sent to you by Peace at all?—​Not to my knowledge.

My friend got out the last answer from you about Mrs. Norton, that you might have left the house “slightly inebriated.” How did it occur?—​I cannot tell. I might be slightly inebriated, but I cannot tell.

The Judge: You said the prisoner came to the closet door?—​Yes.
