Then he repeated the story of tho Hammond letter and the finding ot the paint and bloody marks after the assassins had abandoned their house of slaughter.
 Forests tan talking cross-examination was unusually severe, but instead of breaking down the weight of evidence, brought ridicule upon himself by the aged Swede's quick and angry retorts.
