"You saw the envelopes. In what handwriting were they—that of a man or a woman?"
"I did not take particular notice, but I thought one was written by a man and the other by a woman."
"Just so! and he threw these letters into the fire?"
"Yes."
"Did he seem to be pleased at seeing them?"
The witness was silent for a second, then he said: "It is difficult to tell."
"That is not an answer to my question. Did he not show anger, or at least annoyance, as he read one of these letters?"
"Well, perhaps he did."
"Thank you. Now then, I want to ask you this: You say he went out after dinner that night. Did he tell you where he was going?"
"No. I thought he was going to his club."
