"It was the only chance we had to win."
Jeffrey Whiting did not try to grapple or reason with the fact. What was the use? It was the end of all things. He merely sat and gazed dumbly at the monstrous thing that filled his whole mental vision. He went forward to the witness chair and stood woodenly until some one told him to be seated.
