"I do," answered Mr. Seymour.
"For what purpose did Mr. Throckmorton procure the chloroform it contains?"

"It was, to my personal knowledge."

After him many other men, all reputable and of good standing in the community, were summoned by Mr. Promb to prove the prisoner's high character; and with this, and a fine speech, but lacking force, I thought, Uncle Job's attorney closed the defense.
