Q. While you were listening, did you hear feet moving on the floor? A. Yes.
Q. How far might you be from Burke’s door when you heard those remarkable sounds? A. About three yards, or ten or fifteen feet.
Q. Was the outer door shut? A. I think it was, and that on the same door the woman struck her hands.
Q. When did you hear a body had been found? A. On Saturday evening, and that fixed my recollection of what I heard before.
Cross-Examined.
Q. You said you went in search of the Police? A. Yes.
Q. How far did you go? A. Only to the mouth of the passage. When I returned I did not consider it necessary to interfere farther.
Q. Was the voice you heard of murder the same you heard when you first went down?
A. Yes, it was like the voice that said, for God’s sake go for the police, there is murder here. I since sent a person to strike on the inner door to see if it sounded the same as I heard before, and I think it did not.
