“It was true.”
“And a young woman’s body was found near the creek a month afterwards?”
“Yes.”
“But so far gone that it could not be identified except by the clothing?”
“True.”
“And that clothing was recognized as having been young Mrs. Hereward’s?”
“Yes.”
“And that proved to the coroner’s jury the body to be also young Mrs. Hereward’s.”
“Yes.”
