I remember the afternoon of the murder.

It was the sub-editor who told me of it.

He asked me if I would write a "par" on the subject for the fourth edition.

I did so; but as I was in a hurry to catch a train it was only a few lines.

We did him fuller justice next day.
Cross-examined: Witness denies that he felt any elation on hearing that a new topic had been supplied for writing on.
