"You are positive that you had the scarfpin when you came home, Ditmore?" he questioned.
"Yes, sir."
"And you put it in the case in the drawer?"
"I did."
"Was the drawer locked?"
"Part of the time. Sometimes I forgot and left the key in the lock."
"What sort of a scarfpin was it?"
"It was a sort of a clover effect, of gold, with a ruby and three small diamonds."
"And how much was it worth?"
"I believe my mother paid thirty-five dollars for it. It was a Christmas gift, so I am not sure about the value."
