“I have the testimony of the elevator-boy[{56}] that he went right to the elevator, and descended to the street.”
“Go on, please.”
“It would take him some time to go around to the building in which Woodford’s offices are situated, probably five minutes.”
“Go on—go on!”
“He did go around, however, for Mr. Woodford said his boy told him that Redway came to the door and inquired for you almost before you had been gone ten seconds. You did not leave by the elevator?”
“No. I was so excited I rushed down the stairs.”
“And he stepped out of the elevator while you were on the stairs going down.”
“Good Heaven!”
“So, you see, your husband can prove a perfect alibi. The deed was done while he was going from his office to Woodford’s.”
“Has he furnished you with this proof?”
