Witness. "In that case, yes, sir."
The Attorney-general. "We may assume, then, that he had not long white hair?"
Witness. "I think I am safe in saying that much."
The Attorney-general. "Or white hair at all?"
Witness. "I shouldn't like to commit myself there, sir. If his hair had been white and short, I don't think it would have struck me."
The Attorney-general. "Did he and the prisoner walk out of sight?"
Witness. "No, sir. They walked to the corner of a street, and stood there talking for a little while--I should say for fifteen or twenty minutes. Then the man went away, down the street, which hid him from me, and my master returned to the carriage."
The Attorney-general. "While they were talking, their backs were still turned to you?"
Witness. "Yes, sir."
The Attorney-general. "Was there anything observable in their manner of conversing? Were they calm? Did they remain perfectly still?"
