“I was in the garden. It was before the storm came on. I don’t know who killed Frank Lumsden. I didn’t see either of them. They were in the house before I got there. I saw a light in a room upstairs. Then a gun or something of the kind was fired and I felt that I was hit. I got up and ran.”
“Do you mean that some one fired at you from the house?”
“That’s what I mean.”
“Whereabouts were you?”
“Just near the cherry-tree at the side of the house.”
“Did you see who fired it at you?”
“No.”
“Didn’t anyone call out and ask you what you were doing there?”
“No.”
“He just fired—whoever it was.”
