"I am, sir."
"Have you ever been in the service of the defendant in this case?"
"Yes, sir."
"What have you done for him?"
"I worked many months in the endeavor to ascertain whether Paul Benedict was living or dead."
"It isn't essential that we should go into that; and as the defendant has testified that he procured the autograph letters which are in the possession of the Court from you, I presume you will corroborate his testimony."
"He did procure them of me, sir."
"Did he inform you of the purpose to which he wished to put them?"
"He did, sir. He said that he wished to verify some signatures."
"Were you ever employed in his library at Sevenoaks, by his agent?"
