Most
certainly
it
was
.
If
not
instantaneous
,
in
a
few
minutes
--
perhaps
seconds
.
"
"
The
head
was
cut
off
,
you
say
.
Was
it
quite
severed
from
the
body
?
"
"
Quite
;
though
it
was
lying
close
up
--
as
if
neither
head
nor
body
had
moved
after
the
dismemberment
.
"
"
Was
it
a
clean
out
--
as
if
done
by
a
sharp-edged
weapon
?
"
"
It
was
.
"
"
What
sort
of
weapon
would
you
say
?
"
"
It
looked
like
the
cut
of
a
broad
axe
;
but
it
might
have
been
done
with
a
bowie-knife
;
one
heavily
weighted
at
the
back
of
the
blade
.
"
"
Did
you
notice
whether
repeated
strokes
had
been
given
?
Or
had
the
severance
been
effected
by
a
single
cut
?
"
"
There
might
have
been
more
than
one
.
But
there
was
no
appearance
of
chopping
.
The
first
cut
was
a
clean
slash
;
and
must
have
gone
nearly
,
if
not
quite
,
through
.
It
was
made
from
the
back
of
the
neck
;
and
at
right
angles
to
the
spine
.
From
that
I
knew
that
the
poor
fellow
must
have
been
down
on
his
face
when
the
stroke
was
delivered
.
"
"
Had
you
any
suspicion
why
,
or
by
whom
,
the
foul
deed
had
been
done
?
