The whole result of the trial depended upon the transfer of the stone. If Etwald kept it, Dido would not dare to give evidence against him, and so, in the absence of the incriminating details, he would go free.

She could not understand how Jen had become possessed of a knowledge of her crimes, and at first was struck with stupor by the recital.,“Are you sure of it?” Johnny’s blue eyes gazed earnestly at his mother.,"True," said Jen; "and why should these wretches have murdered that man?",The good woman, very much alarmed, immediately gave him all the money she could find, for the ogre was not a bad husband to her, although he ate little children.
