“Was Mrs. Trevor facing you?”
“Yes. She was crouching on one knee, her left hand extended.”
“Could two people stand in the safe at the same time.”
“Side by side, yes; but not one in front of the other. The safe, which really resembles a small vault, is shallow but wide. The back of it is filled with filing cases. In fact, Mrs. Trevor’s body was wedged in between the cases and the narrow door-jamb. It was probably owing to this that she remained in such a peculiar position.”
“Was her head sunk forward on her breast?”
“No; on the contrary, it was thrown back and she was looking up, so that I, standing, looked directly down into her eyes.”
“Did you touch or move anything in the vault before summoning aid?”
There was a barely perceptible pause before the secretary answered.
“No, sir; nothing.”
“Did you see much of Mrs. Trevor?”
