“You have performed autopsies before, Dr. Stanley?”

“And in this case you performed the autopsy on the body of Madeleine Bellamy?”

“I did.”

“Where did you first see the body?”

“In the front room of the gardener’s cottage on the Thorne estate.”

“Did you hear Mr. Conroy’s testimony?”

“Yes.”

“Was the body in the position in which he described it at the time that he saw it?”
