“Then you didn’t have twenty-five dollars when you came there?”
“No, sir; and what’s more, the money found in the girl’s trunk was the very money that Mrs. Naseby lost. You might have known that, if you’d only remember what you hear.”
“Will you tell me if you belong to this State?” I asked next.
“I do, sir.”
“In what town?”
She hesitated, and for an instant the bold look forsook her. But she finally answered:
“I belong in Somers, Montgomery County.”
I next turned to Mrs. Naseby.
“Do you ever take a receipt from your girls when you pay them?” I asked.
