"May I ask by which door you left the house ?" "The side door--the one I always take." "What overcoat did you wear ?" "I don't remember.

The first one I came to, I suppose." "But you can surely tell what hat ?" They expected a violent reply, and they got it.
"No, I can't.

What has my hat got to do with the guilt of Elwood Ranelagh ?" "Nothing, we hope," was the imperturbable answer.

"But we find it necessary to establish absolutely just what overcoat and what hat you wore down street that night." "I've told you that I don't remember." The young man's colour was rising.
"Are not these the ones ?" queried the district attorney, making a sign to Sweetwater, who immediately stepped forward, with a shabby old ulster over his arm, and a battered derby in his hand.
The young man started, rose, then sat again, shouting out with angry emphasis: "_No!"_ "Yet you recognise these ?" "Why shouldn't I?
They're mine.

Only I don't wear them any more.
