"Did you leave the room again during that time?"
"No, sir."
"Not even to get the coffee which Dr. Meredith had ordered?"
"No, sir. I made that on the gas-stove in the room."
"Well, then, during that last three hours did you, or any one else, in your presence, inject, or administer morphine in any form to Miss Sloane?"
"No, sir; positively not."
"Such a thing could not have occurred without your knowledge?"
"No, sir."
"Now, your Honor," said Mr. Bliss, "I would like to ask the prosecution whether this is the only witness upon whom they depend to prove the hypothesis that morphine was administered within three hours prior to the death of Miss Sloane?"
"That is our evidence on that point," replied Mr. Munson.
