“I did not. Notice that the trees obstruct the view somewhat, and the lamps are all on this side. I am sure, however, that no one crossed the street,” Barclay quickly added. “I would have seen him in that case. Obviously, therefore, if any one left the cab, he must have gone into the hospital grounds.”
“That is what I suspect,” said Chick. “Which way did the cab go when departing?”
“Straight on and around the square. I know it did not return for ten minutes at least, if at all, for I stood here smoking as long as that.”
“You saw no one, then, nor heard anything?”
“No, neither.”
“From which direction did the cab come?”
“Through the court at the end of this block,” said Barclay, pointing. “It leads out into Belmont Street.”
“You think it was an electric cab?”
“I’m almost sure of that.”
“How long did it remain at the gate?”
