I wasn't going to ask it while yon man was about, Mr. Hugh," he continued, when Turndale had gone hurrying towards the village; "but you'll not mind me asking it now what were you doing here yourself, at this hour?"
"But according to Turndale, the body was lying in a deep pool in the Till, under the trees on the bank it might have lain there for many a month if it hadn't been for yon young McIlwraith that has a turn for prying into dark and out-of-the-way corners. Well, here's more matter for the coroner." Mr. Lindsey and I went back to Berwick after that.
I knew them both, the sergeant being one Chisholm, and the constable a man named Turndale, and they knew me well enough from having seen me in the court at Berwick; and it was with open-mouthed surprise that they listened to what I had to tell them.
"You were saying there were marks of violence," said I. "I haven't seen them myself," he answered. "But by Turndale's account it was him brought in the news there is queer marks on the body. Like as if as near as Turndale could describe it as if the man had been struck down before he was drowned. Bruises, you understand." "Where is he?" I asked. "He's where they took Phillips," replied Chisholm.
Aye, well, it turns out the young waster was out last night in those woods below Twizel, and early this morning though he didn't let on at it till some time after he saw the body of a man lying in one of them deep pools in Till. And when he himself was caught by Turndale, who was on the look out for him, he told of what he'd seen, and Turndale and some other men went there, and they found Crone!"
