"I never saw it before."
"It is unsigned, unaddressed and undated, is it not?"
"Yes, sir."
"Presumably, then, a letter in which both sender and receiver desired to conceal their names?"
"Perhaps so. I cannot offer an opinion as to that."
"Don't you know that letter was written by Ellen Greeley to you?"
"No, sir; I never received such a letter."
"I am aware that you never received it. But you received the previous letters referred to in this case, did you not? You received the letter stating that 'Harry gets his deserts,' meaning obviously that he gets nothing, did you not?"
"No, sir; I have never received a shred of communication from Ellen Greeley."
"Do you know the peddler referred to in this letter?"
