He began by climbing the Calton Hill. He remained at the summit quite a long time, constructing a rough bird's-eye plan of the streets and buildings below him; and having descended to earth, proceeded on a series of voyages of discovery. He regarded the exterior of Parliament House with intense interest, for he was a debater by instinct and upbringing.
"But, at any rate," he went on quickly, "if Mr. Fitzgerald did leave Mr. Whyte, the only chance he's got of proving his innocence is that he did not come back, as the cabman alleged." "Then, I suppose, you think that Fitzgerald will prove an ALIBI," said Calton.
"I think so," answered Fitzgerald, rising, and ringing the bell; "but isn't it rather early for that sort of thing?" "There's a proverb about glass houses," said Calton, severely, "which applies to you in this particular instance." Whereupon Fitzgerald laughed, and Calton having been supplied with what he required, prepared to talk business.
CALTON: What was deceased excited about when you met him? WITNESS: I don't know. He did not say. CALTON: What were you talking about? WITNESS: All sorts of things. London principally. CALTON: Did the deceased mention anything about papers? CALTON: Are you sure? WITNESS: Quite sure. CALTON: What time did you get home? WITNESS: I don't know; I was too drunk to remember.
Hume died in Edinburgh on the 25th of August, 1776, and, a few days later, his body, attended by a great concourse of people, who seem to have anticipated for it the fate appropriate to the remains of wizards and necromancers, was deposited in a spot selected by himself, in an old burial-ground on the eastern slope of the Calton Hill.
I inquired at the guard if he would, next morning, be so kind as take a letter to Edinburgh, for Widow Neil, in the Low Calton. "With pleasure," he said "I know her well, as I live close by her shop; but, poor woman, she has been very unwell for these two or three days past.
"'Bout the 'Queen, sir?" said Sal, in a low, hoarse voice, fixing her wild eyes on Calton. "If I'd only known as you was a-wantin' me I'd 'ave come afore." "Where were you?" asked Calton, in a pitying tone. "Noo South Wales," answered the girl with a shiver. "The cove as I went with t' Sydney left me yes, left me to die like a dog in the gutter."
"It isn't anything catching, I hope," cried the barrister, with a shudder, as they passed into the crowd of Bourke Street. "Don't know, sir, not being a doctor," answered the detective, stolidly. "Oh!" ejaculated Calton, in dismay. "It will be all right, sir," said Kilsip, reassuringly; "I've been there dozens of times, and I'm all right."
Chris Calton, as she calls herself." "Is her husband Mr. Calton here?" said Miss Trotter after a pause, in a still gentler voice. "Naturally not. He has gone on an excursion with a party of ladies to the Schwartzberg. He returns to-morrow. You will find HER very stupid, but HE is very jolly, though a little spoiled by women. Why do we always spoil them?"
Kilda Road between one and two on Friday morning, and driven him to Powlett Street, East Melbourne. In the cross-examination, Calton elicited one point in the prisoner's favour. CALTON: Is the prisoner the same gentleman you drove to Powlett Street? CALTON: How do you know? Did you see his face?
