"Was that a door which was generally open, or used by the public?"
"Never, sir; but none of the doors were used at that time of night."
"And how, then, could any one get admittance there?"
"Only those that had private keys; the directors had their private keys."
"Then your conclusion was that it was a director, and that he had a right to be there?"
"I knew it was a director, sir, because I knew the gentleman," the witness said.
"You say it was late in the evening of the 6th of September. Was it daylight at the time?"
"Oh, no, sir; nearly dark—a sort of a half light."
"Did the person you saw go in openly, or make any attempt at concealment?"
"He had a light coat on, like the coats gentlemen wear when they go to the theatre, and something muffled round his throat, and his hat pulled down over his face."
