“I was—formerly.”
“Now, tell me, do you remember the night of the 15th August?”
“I do. The prisoner and I left the Junior Garrick Club soon after midnight, to proceed home.”
“Was there anything in his manner which attracted your attention?”
“He seemed rather excited, having lost heavily at cards. I left him at Danes’ Inn.”
“Do you know on what day he returned from abroad?”
“It was in the beginning of March. He was then strangely reticent as to his actions in the meantime.”
“You will remember, as a journalist, possibly, on what night the murder in Angel Court occurred?”
“On the same night as the prisoner’s return.”
“Do you know anything of the photograph found upon the accused?”
