"I've done been informed," drawled the Court, "that Mr. Deprayne was seen leaving for the Virginia line some days back, and that he told several people he was going home. If I'd known of his plans I'd certainly have held him as a material witness, but unfortunately it's too late now." "Here is his affidavit," responded Marcus. "I submit it to Your Honor in support of my motion."
Deprayne. I understand Dawson is across the Virginia line." "I'm sure enough," I persisted, failing entirely to catch my host's effort to silence me, "to swear to it in court." "Mr. Deprayne is a stranger here," deprecated the lawyer. "He isn't familiar enough with our people to be certain in these matters." Again the doctor nodded and, taking up his saddle-bags, went out.
"Something is lying heavily on your mind, Deprayne," he announced, "and it's not merely the memory of cannibals and exposure. Dangers of that sort become pleasant reminiscences when we view them through the retrospective end of the glasses. There's something else. What is it?" I laughed at him over my raised coffee-cup.

The Co'te sees no reason to regard this paper as genuine, unless Mr. Deprayne himself will state that he swore to it. The Co'te regrets that it can't produce that witness for the learned counsel. The Co'te wishes only " here he glanced significantly at the press table "to have the full facts brought out." "Will Your Honor," suggested Marcus, "instruct the sheriff to call Mr. Deprayne?"
