"How does it come that you say you took Miss Gingles out of the bathroom at eleven p. m. when Captain O'Brien was called and told of her condition at ten?"
"Well, I understood that you had been there and gone before I reached there."
"Was one of her arms tied with a stocking?" asked Mr. O'Donnell.
"Yes."
"Had she her own stockings on?"
"No."
"What?"
"Well, I don't recall exactly. I don't think she had them both on."
"As a matter of fact, were there not three stockings? Did not Ella have her own stockings on?"
