“The night was hot,” continued Bourke. “Were you not in the habit of leaving your door open on hot nights?”
“Sometimes.”
“Was it not always your custom?”
“Not always. When I thought of it I opened the door, but I frequently forgot it.”
“Yes! Yes! You are quite sure you cannot remember whether or not it was open on that night?”
“I cannot remember.”
“Do you remember any other nights on which Mrs. Peele went to the lavatory to drop the morphine?”
“Yes, sir; a great many.”
“But of this all important night you remember nothing?”
“No, sir.”
