It was my evil fate to see her fall, but by whose hand I am as ignorant as yourselves.

_Now_ I have told it all.

Will you let me go ?" "Not yet," interposed the Coroner.

"There are one or two questions more which you will undoubtedly answer with the same frankness.

Were you standing in front of the pedestal or behind it when you saw Miss Willetts fall ?" "I was standing just where I said, somewhere near it in the open gallery." This seemed so open to question that the Coroner paused a moment to recall the exact situation and see if it were possible for a man as conspicuous in figure as Mr.Travis to have stood thus in full view of gallery and court, without attracting the attention of anyone in either place.
