back.
Q. Did you see him coming back? A. No; the first I saw of him was at my elbow when I turned. Q. And when did he get out? A. Just as I was turning down by the Grammar School on the St. Kilda Road. Q. Did you hear any sounds of fighting or struggling in the cab during the drive? A. No; the road was rather rough, and the noise of the wheels going over the stones would have prevented my hearing anything. Q. When the gentleman in the light coat got out did he appear disturbed? A. No; he was perfectly calm. Q. How could you tell that? A. Because the moon had risen, and I could see plainly. Q. Did you see his face then? A. No; his hat was pulled down over it. I only saw as much as I did when he entered the cab in Collins Street. Q. Were his clothes torn or disarranged in any way? |
