“But, all in all, Driscoll was at the telephone for several minutes, and on at least two occasions?”

“Yes.”

“But you can’t swear he was at the telephone?”

“No.”

“What time did the accident happen?”

“I can tell you that. It was right at noon. The twelve o’clock whistles had just started to blow when I heard the crash.”

“Then Driscoll went out, helped lift the unconscious man from the coupe, and returned to the house. By the time he returned you were back in the solarium, is that right?”

“Yes.”

“When did you first know Mrs. Snoops was watching you?”

“After Jimmy had given me the gun.”
