"Were you close to them?"
"Quite close, sir. I said 'Good night' to the deceased, but he seemed not to notice it. I stood and watched him over the grass. He reeled as he walked."
"What time was this?"
"Nigh upon half-past eleven, sir."
"Did you detect any signs of people moving within the house?"
"Not any, sir. The house seemed quite still, and the blinds were down before the windows."
"Did you see any one enter the gate that night besides the deceased?"
"Not any one."
"Not the prisoner?"
"Not any one," repeated the policeman.
