“Did you see Spies go into the alley?”—“I did not.”
“Did you see anybody in the alley?”—“Yes. There were two or three men there, but I could not tell who they were. It was dark.”
“Did anybody come into the alley while you were there?“—“No.”
“Could anybody pass into the alley without your knowing it?”—“No, sir; I stood up close to the building while I was lighting my pipe.”
“Now, tell whether you saw a light in the air about that time or a little after.”—“Yes; I saw a light like a match about twenty feet south of the alley on Desplaines street.”
Mr. Grinnell takes the witness in hand. “You say you came down town on business. Who did you want to see?”—“A friend of mine.”
“Who is he?”—“Adolph Winness.”
“Where does he live?”—“I do not know.”
“Where does he work?”—“I don’t know now.”
