Witness. "My master got out, opened the street door with his latch-key, then returned to the carriage and helped the lady out, and they both passed into the house."
The Attorney-general. "Were his actions steady?"
Witness. "They were not, sir. He seemed to be in a strange hurry."
The Attorney-general. "Did he say nothing to you?"
Witness. "Nothing. And thinking my day's work was over, I took the horses to the stable. I was glad enough."
The Attorney-general. "The prisoner was in the habit of carrying a latch-key?"
Witness. "Yes, and always let himself into the house."
The Attorney-general. "Did you observe whether the gas in the hall was lighted?"
Witness. "It was. It was always kept on when my master was out. His habit was to turn it off himself, the servants sometimes being abed."
The Attorney-general. "Now, during the time you were in the prisoner's employment, had you ever passed such a day as this you have described?"
