Mr
.
Porlock
Carr
:
Not
to
my
knowledge
.
Mr
.
Humphrey
:
We
hope
to
make
the
matter
clear
.
The
Judge
:
Then
the
court
adjourns
until
tomorrow
.
This
new
development
of
the
case
excited
the
utmost
interest
among
the
general
public
.
Press
comment
was
prevented
by
the
fact
that
the
trial
was
still
undecided
,
but
the
question
was
everywhere
argued
as
to
how
far
there
could
be
truth
in
Miss
Morton
’
s
declaration
,
and
how
far
it
might
be
a
daring
ruse
for
the
purpose
of
saving
her
brother
.
The
obvious
dilemma
in
which
the
missing
doctor
stood
was
that
if
by
any
extraordinary
chance
he
was
not
dead
,
then
he
must
be
held
responsible
for
the
death
of
this
unknown
man
,
who
resembled
him
so
exactly
,
and
who
was
found
in
his
study
.
This
letter
which
Miss
Morton
refused
to
produce
was
possibly
a
confession
of
guilt
,
and
she
might
find
herself
in
the
terrible
position
of
only
being
able
to
save
her
brother
from
the
gallows
by
the
sacrifice
of
her
former
lover
.
The
court
next
morning
was
crammed
to
overflowing
,
and
a
murmur
of
excitement
passed
over
it
when
Mr
.
Humphrey
was
observed
to
enter
in
a
state
of
emotion
,
which
even
his
trained
nerves
could
not
conceal
,
and
to
confer
with
the
opposing
counsel
.
A
few
hurried
words
—
words
which
left
a
look
of
amazement
upon
Mr
.
Porlock
Carr
’
s
face
—
passed
between
them
,
and
then
the
counsel
for
the
defence
,
addressing
the
Judge
,
announced
that
,
with
the
consent
of
the
prosecution
,
the
young
lady
who
had
given
evidence
upon
the
sitting
before
would
not
be
recalled
.
The
Judge
:
But
you
appear
,
Mr
.
Humphrey
,
to
have
left
matters
in
a
very
unsatisfactory
state
.
Mr
.
Humphrey
:
Perhaps
,
my
lord
,
my
next
witness
may
help
to
clear
them
up
.
The
Judge
:
Then
call
your
next
witness
.
Mr
.
Humphrey
:
I
call
Dr
.
Aloysius
Lana
.
The
learned
counsel
has
made
many
telling
remarks
in
his
day
,
but
he
has
certainly
never
produced
such
a
sensation
with
so
short
a
sentence
.
The
court
was
simply
stunned
with
amazement
as
the
very
man
whose
fate
had
been
the
subject
of
so
much
contention
appeared
bodily
before
them
in
the
witness
-
box
.
Those
among
the
spectators
who
had
known
him
at
Bishop
’
s
Crossing
saw
him
now
,
gaunt
and
thin
,
with
deep
lines
of
care
upon
his
face
.
But
in
spite
of
his
melancholy
bearing
and
despondent
expression
,
there
were
few
who
could
say
that
they
had
ever
seen
a
man
of
more
distinguished
presence
.
Bowing
to
the
judge
,
he
asked
if
he
might
be
allowed
to
make
a
statement
,
and
having
been
duly
informed
that
whatever
he
said
might
be
used
against
him
,
he
bowed
once
more
,
and
proceeded
:
