"Yes, but on the charge of stealing the body only. I took it out after hearing the evidence of the tramp, Battersea." "I can't say. I haven't examined him. Stunned or drugged, I suppose." "Look, look!" cried Judith, her eyes alight and her whole slender little figure relaxed. "Two trees are down!".
