Witness. "Yes."
The Attorney-general. "Was everything upon the table as you had left it at nine o'clock on the night before, when you ceased attendance upon your mistress?"
Witness. "The pen, ink, and paper were there. The decanter was there, with very little water in it, and I was horror-struck to see that the bottle of sleeping-lozenges was quite empty. I made a remark to that effect to the detective. Turning to the mantle-shelf, I saw upon it the tumbler which, when I left my mistress's room the night before, had been on the table by her side."
The Attorney-general. "You say that during the day of the 25th of March your mistress spoke vaguely about papers and acceptances for money which she held, and of which the prisoner desired to obtain possession. Do you know anything further concerning those papers and acceptances?"
Witness. "Nothing."
The Attorney-general. "Do you know if any were found after your mistress's death?"
Witness. "I do not know."
The Attorney-general. "You saw your master when he entered the house at seven o'clock in the morning?"
Witness. "Yes."
The Attorney-general. "Was he wearing an overcoat on that occasion?"
