o'clock just as I was preparing to-

Did you mention this loss?"
Il spoke of it to Nurse O'Bren, the
nurse in charge of the patient"
This case was lying in the hall,
where people were in the habit of
passing to and fro?"
Yes
Sir Samuel paused. Then he said:
"You knew the dead girl, Mary Ger
rard, Intimately"
yes"
What was your opinion Of her?"
"She was a very sweet girI-and
good girl"
WAS she Of happy disposition? ?"
Very happy"
"She had no troubles that YOU know

"At the time OF her death was there
anything whatever to worry her or
make her unhappy about the future ?"
Nothing"
''She would have had no reason to
have taken her own life?"
mo reason at all"
1t went on and on-the damning
story. How Nurse Hopkins had ac
companied Mary to the lodge, the APP
pearance of Elinor, her eXcitable
manner, the invitation to sandwiches,
the plate being handed first to Mary.
Elinor's suggestion that everything
be washed up and her further sugges-
ton that Nurse Hopkins should come
upstairs with her and assist in sort
ing out clothes.
There were frequent interruptions
and objections from Sir Edwin Bull
mer
Elinor thought: Eyes, it's all true
and she believes it. She's certain
did it. And every word she says is
the truth-that's what's so horrible.
It's all true"
Once more, as she looked across the
court, she saw the face of Hercule
Poirot regarding her thoughtfully-
almost kindly. Seeing her with too
much knowledge -.
The piece of cardboard with the
scrap of label pasted on to it was
handed to the witness.
do you know what this is?"
Its a bit Of a label"
Can you tell the jury what label?"
"Yes-it's a part of label off a
tube of hypodermic tablets. Morphine
tablets -grain-like the one
lost"

in the milk that had been added to the
tea?"
Certainly
There was no special evidence that
the morphia was in the fish paste
rather than in any Of the other med
iums?"
NO"
and, in fact, the morphia might
have been taken separately-that is
to say, not in any vehicle at tall? 1t
could have been simply swallowed in
its tablet form? ?"
"That is so, of course"
Sir Edwin sat down.
Sir Samuel re-examined.
Nevertheless, you are Of the opin-
ion that, however the morphia was
taken, it was taken at the same time
as the other food and drink ?"
YES"
Thank you"
Inspector Brill had taken the oath
with mechanical fluency He stood
there, soldierly and stolid, reeling off
his evidence with practiced ease.

accused said 1t must have been bad

What did you find?"
"In a crack behind the table, be

scrap of paper"
The exhibit went to the jury.
What did you take it to be-"
"a fragment torn off printed la
bel-such as are used on glass tubes
of morphia."
Counsel for the Defense arose with
leisurely ease. He said: "You found

YES"

did you find the rest Of that la

"You did not find any glass tube
or any bottle to which that label
might have been affixed?"

what was the state of that scrap
of paper when you found it? Was it
clean or dirty"
"It was quite fresh"
What do you mean, quite fresh ?"
There was surface dust on it from
the flooring but it was quite clean
otherwise"
"It could not have been there for
any length of time? ?"
mo, it had found its way there
quite recently"
"You would say, then, that it had
come there on the actual day you
found it-not earlier?"
yes"
With a grunt Sir Edward sat down.

Nurse Hopkins in the box, her face
red and self-righteous.
All the same, Elinor thought, Nurse
Hopkins was not so frightening as
Inspector Brill. 1t was the inhumani-
ty of Inspector Brill that was so para
lying. He was so definitely part of
a great machine. Nurse Hopkins had
human passions, prejudices.
"Your name is Jessie Hopkins?"
Eyes"
"You are certified District Nurse
and you reside at Rose Cottage, Hun
te1bury?"
yes"
Where were you on the 28th of
June last?"
Il was at Hunterbury Hall"
you had been sent for?"
Yes. Mrs. Welman had had a
stroke-the second. l went to assist
Nurse O'Brien until a second nurse
could be found"
Did you take a small attache case
with you?"
Yes"
Tel! the jury what was in it."
"Bandages, dressings, a hypodermic
syringe and certain drugs, including
a tube of morphine hydrochloride.
For what purpose was it there? ?"
"One of the cases in the village had
to have hypodermic injections of NOR
phia morning and evening"
What were the contents of the
tube?"
There were twenty tablets, each
containing half-grain morphine hy-
drochloride"
what did you do with your attache
case?"
