Witness.—“No.”
Sir Edward.—“Give me the names of two or three of the people whom you have taken home to that address?”
Witness.—“I cannot. I forget them.”
Sir Edward.—“Now I am going to ask you a direct question, and I ask you to be careful in your reply. Were you and Burton ever taken to Rochester Road Police Station?”
Witness.—“No.”
Sir Edward.—“Well, was Burton?”
Witness.—“I think not—at least, he was not, to my knowledge.”
Sir Edward.—“Did the Birmingham gentleman give to Burton a cheque for £200 drawn in the name of S. Denis or Denny, your own name?”
Witness.—“Not to my knowledge.”
Sir Edward.—“About two years ago, did you and someone else go to the Victoria Hotel with two American gentlemen?”
