“Then what did you do?”
“Then I got out into the fresh air, and left the place closed up until you got there,” the witness said.
“I don’t think there’s any need to ask this man any more questions, is there?” the coroner asked.
The district attorney said, “I’d like to ask one question, just for the sake of fixing the jurisdictional fact. The body was that of Fremont C. Sabin?”
“Yes, it was pretty far gone, but it was Sabin, all right.”
“How long have you known Fremont C. Sabin?”
“Five years.”
“I think that’s all,” the district attorney said.
“Just one more question,” the coroner said. “Nothing was touched until I got there, was it, Waner?”
“Absolutely nothing, except the telephone.”
