the two accused prisoners were also
witnesses against each other, and in
which the testimony of the only posi-
tive witness was invalidated by lack
of identification. Mabel could only
say that she had seen one of them
draw his head and shoulders out of
the mates window just as his ago
nized scream had smitten her ears, and
look into her face as she peered at him
from the head of the steps. But she
could not tell one from the other.
The men had heard the screams; but
had seen nothing but myself, bending
over the girl.
Bills testimony was direct and short.
He did not change it, nor attempt to
qualify it. The sheath knife was his,
he admitted, and it had not been
touched by him. On the yard he had
seen me 90 forward and into the COM
panion; he had seen the girl follow,
peer in at me, and 60 to the lee steps;
and he had seen Tom leave the wheel
when the girl had entered the alley,
hurry along the lee alley, pick up the
knife, reach into the window, and leave
it there. He had heard the two
screams, had seen me emerge and bend
over the girl after she had fallen down
the steps, had seen the Captain arrive,
and when four bells had struck he had
answered and come down; for his
punishment had ended.
Tom had more to say. First, he
had seen Bill drop from the blight of
a lee GRO jack buntline to the house
just where the knife was placed. He
had seen him pick up the knife, jump
