“Who notified you?”
“A trooper, I think, from the police station.”
“Please tell us what he said.”
“He said that Mrs. Bellamy’s body had been found in an empty cottage on the old Thorne estate, and that while it had already been identified, headquarters thought I had better go over and confirm it. I said that I would come at once.”
“And did so?”
“Yes.”
“You saw the body?”
“Yes.”
“Identified it?”
“Yes.”
