Buchanan—As far as I am from you.
Vernon—Whom did you see go into the purser's cabin to sir John?
Buchanan—I saw Mahony go in there.
Vernon—Did you see any other person go in besides Mahony?
Buchanan—No, I did not; I saw Mahony go in just before the cry of murder, but no other person.
Vernon—Do you know any thing about securing the captain?
Buchanan—Yes, I will tell you what happened then. We went and secured him. As soon as he was laid hold of, he cried out, Hey! hey! what have I done? We told him his brother was murdered, and that he had some concern in it. He said, What if the villains have murdered my brother, can I help it? I know nothing of it.
Goodere—Did you see me in the cabin at all?
Buchanan—No, Sir, I don't say you were in the cabin.
The Recorder—Mr. Goodere, the witness does not say he saw you in the cabin, but at the door, and with a sword in your hand, and that you handed in a light after the cry of murder was over.
