“He is dead!” replied she, shedding a torrent of tears.
As the girl had been shut up for three days, without any means of obtaining information from without, this answer, together with her unfeigned distress, naturally excited considerable surprise.
“Who told you he was dead?” they inquired.
“Nobody!”
“Then how can you know it?”
“I saw him killed!”
“But you have not been out of the prison?”
“But I saw it, nevertheless!”
“But how was that possible? Explain what you mean!”
“I can not. All I can say is, that I saw him killed.”
