"Yes."

"When you asked the sailor Burns to let you see the axe, what did
you give as a reason?"

"The truth--curiosity."

"Then, having seen the axe, where did you go?"

"Below."

"Please explain the incident of the two articles Mr. Goldstein
showed to the jury yesterday, the shirt and waistcoat."

"That was very simple. Mr. Turner had been very ill. We took
turns in caring for him. I spilled a bowl of broth over the garments
that were shown, and rubbed them out in the bathroom. They were
hung in the cabin used by Mr. Vail to dry, and I forgot them when
we were packing."

The attorney for the defense cross-examined her:

"What color were the stains you speak of?"

"Darkish--red-brown."

"What sort of broth did you spill?"

"That's childish, isn't it? I don't recall."
