"For whom was the telegram?"
"For my husband. I did not open it, but left it on the table in the dining-room. He got it when he came home that night."
"Did he tell you what it was about?"
"No. He never mentioned the subject."
"Do you know anything about the marks in blood on the arm?"
"No. I was shown them by Doctor Ellis, but I do not know what they mean, or, indeed, what they are."
"Do they not look to you like secret writing? Like a cryptogram?"
"I don't know anything about secret writing. They look like blood smears to me. I do not understand them."
"Have you any idea why deceased wrote them on his arm?"
"Not the least in the world."
