Witness: Only half-an-hour. I felt suddenly unwell, and walked again on the Chiaja.
Advocate: Did you see your friend again?
Witness: Yes. He was still engaged in talk with Mr. Grammont; and since I had no wish to meet him then, I walked along the road to Posilipo.
Advocate: Did anything happen upon the road?
Witness: I was violently sick, and, feeling very faint afterwards, lay down upon a slope at the side of the road under the shade of a tree, and rested there.
Advocate: What happened next?
Witness: I heard voices in the lane below me.
Advocate: Relate now what happened.
Witness: I saw two men—Mr. Grammont and another—talking together. They spoke in English. The man asked for money, and said he knew perfectly well that Mr. Grammont had more than four thousand pounds in English notes about him at that moment.
The Judge: What was Grammont's condition at this time?
