“Yes, the Folliard jewels?”
“The Folliard jewels! And how do they differ in denomination from those found upon the prisoner?”
“Those found upon the prisoner are called the Bingham jewels, from the fact of my wife, who was a Bingham, having brought them into our family.”
“And pray, did not your wife always consider those jewels as her own private property?”
“Why, I believe she did.”
“And did she not, at her death-bed, bequeath those very jewels to her daughter, the present Miss Folliard, on the condition that she too should consider them as her private property?”
“Why, I believe she did; indeed, I am sure of it, because I was present at the time.”
“In what part of the house were those jewels deposited?”
“In a large oak cabinet that stands in a recess in my library.”
“Did you keep what you call the Folliard jewels there?”
