"Mr. Fishley, were you in Torrentville two months ago?" asked Squire Pollard.
"I was," replied the senator.
"Did you see the defendant at that time?"
"Yes, sir."
"Did you give him any money?"
"Yes, sir."
"How much?"
"The young man drove me up from Riverport on the night in question. I gave him between forty and fifty dollars at that time, and enough more the next day to make a hundred dollars."
"You gave him a hundred dollars, in two payments?" repeated the lawyer, glancing round at the crowd which filled the room.
"Yes, sir, that was the amount I gave him," replied Squire Fishley; but I saw that he looked troubled.
