"When was he in town?"
"Three or four weeks since."
"When did he give you the money?"
"He left a sealed envelope containing it, which we were not to open unless in case of need."
"When did you first open it?"
"Last evening."
"Can you produce the envelope?" asked Jones, with an ironical smile.
"Here it is."
The envelope was taken and examined by the grocer.
"There is nothing to show that this could not have been prepared by the defendant, without the knowledge of this convenient uncle," he said.
