"It's all there in the affidavit," said Mr. Cooley.
Ignoring the interruption, Dr. McMutrie went on:
"Has she ever made a personal threat against your life—in your hearing?" Pointing to the paper in his hand, he said impatiently: "These statements are all more or less vague."
"The affidavit of the family physician bears that out," interrupted Cooley again.
Dr. McMutrie frowned.
"Mr. Marsh, will you please answer my questions? Yes, or no."
"Yes," said Jimmy positively.
"Yes, sir. I'm in actual fear of my life—that's the whole truth."
Mr. Cooley beamed satisfaction.
