"Rephrase your question, Mr. Warner."
"I'll withdraw it." Warner was speaking gently, absently. "Mr. Judd, you were deeply concerned for James Doherty?"
"Of course. Terrible thing, specially if Ann—"
"Yes, you were concerned for Mrs. Doherty too, weren't you?"
"Of course."
"For anyone else?"
"What? Why, if you mean myself, I suppose—oh, I don't know."
"You weren't concerned for anyone else?"
"I don't get your drift."
