He caused subpoenas to be served upon every clerk in the bank and upon the manager. The latter had what is technically called a subpoena duces tecum, in virtue of which he was under an obligation to produce at Warwick the whole of the books of the establishment. This caused great dismay, it being seen that if the trial were to go on, the business of the bank must be entirely suspended.
Silly arrangement, I say. Why the devil should they think everybody's a thief or a book agent or a constable with a subpoena? He knows I'm one of the family. I'm likely to run in any time, I told him, and Oh, I say, I'm not butting in, am I, Miss Castleton?" He shook hands with both of them, and then offered his cigarette case to Booth, first selecting one for himself.
"This refusal to answer my questions is in itself tantamount to a confession," he said acidly. "Well, we will proceed to call the witnesses. I should like to say that the most interesting witness would undoubtedly be Bouzille, the tramp who recovered the body of Charles Rambert; but unfortunately that individual has no fixed abode and it has not been possible to serve him with a subpoena."
After examining the subpoena, I explained: "You are wanted merely as a witness before a jury of inquiry engaged in investigating a crime of some sort. It may be Hamilton's fight at the Old Swan, or it may be the Roger Wentworth affair. Perhaps some one is trying to fix that awful crime on Hamilton. But I tell you, Frances, he is innocent."
Trembling like a leaf when Mattie explained that the "two nice men" who had dragged her to the walk were police officers, and thinking again of the subpoena, the frightened woman who had escaped such peril, followed up the two flights of stairs and into Wilford's office, where she sank breathless into a chair, while Mark, not in the least surprised, greeted her cordially, and very soon succeeded in getting her quiet, bowing so graciously to Mattie when introduced that the poor girl dreamed of him for many a night, and by day built castles of what might have been had she been rich, instead of only 'Tilda Tubbs, whose home was on the Bowery.
Ballantyne, was called upon a subpoena by the Crown and he testified that while he was a Collector at Agra he went up with his wife from the plains to the hill-station of Moussourie during a hot weather. The Ballantynes went up at the same time and occupied a bungalow next to Repton's. One night Repton's house was broken into.
He would not even write. Then, as the time drew near, I feared he was a traitor. I treated him like one. I told my solicitor to drag him into court as my witness, and make him tell the truth. The clerk went down accordingly, and found he kept his door always locked; but the clerk outwitted him, and served him with the subpoena in his bedroom, before he could crawl under the bed.
Coombes, if I hear another word of objection to this officer's testimony from you, I am going to ask Mr. Brannhard to subpoena Victor Grego and question him under veridication about it." "Mr. Brannhard will be more than happy to oblige, Commander," Gus said loudly and distinctly. Coombes sat down hastily.
Consider the complaint, the warrant, the return, the recognizance, the subpoena, the arraignment, the plea, the testimony, the arguments, the judgment and sentence, and the penalty and its enforcement. What is an appeal? This procedure seems cumbrous, but it is founded in common sense. What one of the foregoing steps, for example, would you omit? Why?
Carwell's character would do such a thing, particularly when he had shown no previous signs of being in trouble. But you can never tell." "No, you can never tell," agreed Colonel Ashley, and none knew, better than himself, how true that was. "But why should they subpoena me?" asked Bartlett. "Don't fret over that," advised his companion, with a calm smile. "You probably aren't the only one.
