Witness. "It must have been about twelve."
The Attorney-general. "Why do you say 'It must have been about twelve?'"
Witness. "Because I did not see them leave the room."
The Attorney-general. "You can, however, fix the time within a few minutes?"
Witness. "Oh yes. At a quarter to twelve, as near as I can remember, I had occasion to go down-stairs. When I returned, after three or four minutes, monsieur and madame were gone."
