Ortheris had passed the treasure to my hand.
'Am I to pull ye through? So we pushed, an' we kicked, an' we swung, an' we swore, an' the grass bein' slippery, our heels wouldn't bite, an' God help the front-rank man that wint down that day!" "'Ave you ever bin in the Pit hentrance o' the Vic. on a thick night?" interrupted Ortheris. "It was worse nor that, for they was goin' one way an' we wouldn't 'ave it.

The two troopers who had come in the other car, and the men who had brought the investigative equipment and done the photographing at the scene testified.
