stranger who had got mixed up in the business so mysteriously?

Antony smiled at Bill and stepped up to give his evidence.

He explained how he came to be staying at 'the George' at
Waldheim, how he had heard that the Red House was in the
neighbourhood, how he had walked over to see his friend Beverley,
and had arrived just after the tragedy. Thinking it over
afterwards he was fairly certain that he had heard the shot, but
it had not made any impression on him at the time. He had come
to the house from the Waldheim end and consequently had seen
nothing of Robert Ablett, who had been a few minutes in front of
him. From this point his evidence coincided with Cayley's.

"You and the last witness reached the French windows together and
found them shut?"

"Yes."

"You pushed them in and came to the body. Of course you had no
idea whose body it was?"

"No."

"Did Mr. Cayley say anything?"

"He turned the body over, just so as to see the face, and when he
saw it, he said, 'Thank God.'"

Again the reporters wrote "Sensation."
