Witness: Yes.
Mr. Walters: Did he answer any questions put to him?
Witness: Quite frankly.
Mr. Walters: Some time afterwards, you made a discovery, I think. Would you mind telling the Court what it was?
Witness: I was walking along by the river, some two miles above where these young men had gone for their walk—by the weir, in fact,—when I saw something shining brightly. Looking more closely, I thought it was a jewel. I immediately dived in, being fortunately a good swimmer, and found that it was a gold watch and chain. The chain was hanging on the timbers. Later I found in the mud a gold scarf-pin. The watch had the initials E. D. engraved on it.
Mr. Walters: Did you tell Jasper you had discovered these things?
Witness: At once.
Mr. Walters: Did he say anything about it?
Witness: Nothing at the time, but a few days later, when we were disrobing in the vestry, he showed me the diary to which I have alluded.
Mr. Walters: Did it contain any reference to it?
