At the moment that the count, followed by his servant, entered the room, the prisoner had these articles in his hand.

He dropped them immediately, but the count, hastily calling for the police, gave him in charge.
There was a smell of burned paper in the room and it was nearly eleven at night.
The magistrate asked if the prisoner had made any resistance.

Policeman C.No.14, answered, "No, he gave in at once; and came straight away." Mr.Kent asked again: "Was there anything in the casket beside the jewelry ?" It seemed to be a very insignificant question, but the prisoner and the count looked steadfastly at each other and both answered: "No." There were two witnesses.

Robert Bolton, the count's servant, and C.No.
14, the policeman.

The evidence of the servant was taken first.
