"About two weeks."
"Two weeks? Why did you give up the case then?"
"Because at the end of that time I was convinced that Roger Kenwick was neither mentally unbalanced nor guilty of any crime. I communicated this opinion to Mr. Glover and resigned from further service."
"But you still continued to shadow the prisoner?"
"I still continued to cultivate his acquaintance. I considered him one of the most interesting men I had ever met."
"And your connections with him since then have been of a purely friendly character? Not in any way professional, Mr. Jarvis?"
"No, I can't say that. For a few weeks after I had resigned from Mr. Glover's service I was asked to take up the case again from a different angle; employed, I may say, by some one else."
"By whom?"
For just an instant the witness hesitated. Then, "By Mr. Clinton Morgan."
"Describe that incident, please."
