"Not a bit of it, Mademoiselle Jeanne: I said it because it is the truth. The magistrate was on to you: I tell you he was! Why, M. Verbier, he cross-examined her for more than half an hour after the general confrontation, while he finished with Muller and me in less than ten minutes." "Gad, M. Louis, a magistrate is a man, isn't he?" said Henri Verbier gallantly.
They were polite and friendly, but cross-examined me severely as to the purpose of my visit, and were obviously displeased that an unarmed tourist could come straight across country and wander round without their leave or knowledge. The Consul was a Croat and vehemently anti-Serb.
Morgan, a London confidential valet, whose fidelity could be trusted, had been to Chatteris more than once, and made every inquiry regarding the past history and present habits of the Captain and his daughter. He delicately cross-examined the waiters, the ostlers, and all the inmates of the bar at the George, and got from them what little they knew respecting the worthy Captain.
It must, of course, be kept in mind that all the evidence is of a suspicious nature. The King, if he were the conspirator, or even if innocent, had to clear himself; and, frankly, his Majesty’s word was not to be relied upon. However, he alone was cross-examined, by an acute and hostile catechist, and that upon oath, though not in a court of justice.
Fritz had lost his zeal for pursuing the thieves, took up his hog and disappeared into the darkness. After a few days the police-sergeant drove up, cross-examined every one, explored the ravines, perspired, made himself muddy, and found no one. He came to the very just conclusion that the thieves must have escaped long ago.
Then, with a sudden flash of inspiration, Dick added, "Who was out this way with you?" "No one," Hen replied. "Don't tell us that," warned young Prescott. "Who were the other fellows in the crowd?" "I tell you I came alone," Hen insisted, with rising color, as he shifted under Dick's steady gaze. "Fred and " "Fred who?" cross-examined Dick. "Nobody," Dutcher answered, his eyes on the floor.
Cross-examined: The letters were not what he would call alarming. He had not thought of taking any special precautions himself. Of course, in his position, he had to take his chance. So far as he could remember, it was not for his own sake that the prisoner wanted his articles published, but in the interests of the public.
I used to tell her he was much broken latterly, and would not live long. She would say she thought so too, and that the music portended his death. Cross-examined When you breakfasted with them in the parlour who was there first? She was. Did you see the tea made? No, sir. Did you see it poured out? No; but he desired me to taste the tea. I did mine, and said I fancied his mouth was out of taste.
I cross-examined the manager of the Theatre Coquerico. He admitted that Mlle. Zara el-Khala had been a mystery throughout her engagement. Neither he nor anyone else connected with the house had ever entered her dressing-room or held any conversation with her, whatever, except the stage-manager and the musical director.
Now, said Michael, with a really appalling seriousness of manner, 'tell me who we are. The unfortunate little man was cross-examined till he knew these facts by heart. 'There! cried the lawyer. 'Our plans are laid. Thoroughly consistent that's the great thing. 'But I don't understand, objected Pitman. 'O, you'll understand right enough when it comes to the point, said Michael, rising.
