"What have you to say to the telegram?"
"I don't know what to say. I can't imagine why they mention me in it."
"Did you read of the murder?"
"Part of it. It made me sick to my stomach."
"Were you in Newport lately?"
"No sir; I was not."
"Didn't you take an interest in the murder when you read of Greencastle being the probable home of the murdered girl?"
"I spoke to several people in the house about it."
"You left the lady this evening and went to supper, and then walked around town?"
"I did."
"Did you meet any one else you knew?"
"I met Walling, I think, after supper."
"Where did you see him?"
"Now, I think of it. It was in the barber shop, where I was waiting."
"See any one else?"
"No, sir."
"How long have you been at the dental college?"
"Since October 14., last."

"Only friendly."
"Does she live at home?"
"She does."
"What do her parents do?"
"Her father is a farmer and keeps a dairy."
"What kind of a looking girl is Pearl?"
"Rather slender. I am a poor judge of height. She was not as tall as I am--almost, though. She was light complexioned."

"Suppose about 105 or 110 pounds."
"Did she ever live out?"
"I don't know, but I don't think so."
"You were in the habit of paying your respects to her?"
