He was composed and quiet, and very very sober--every bit of animation had left his face.
The coroner commenced immediately with the subject of the quarrel with his father on the night before the murder, and Radnor answered all the questions frankly and openly.

He made no attempt to gloss over any of the details.

What put the matter in a peculiarly bad light, was the fact that the cause of the quarrel had been over a question of money.

Rad had requested his father to settle a definite amount on him so that he would be independent in the future, and his father had refused.

They had lost their tempers and had gone further than usual; in telling the story Radnor openly took the blame upon himself where, in several instances, I strongly suspected that it should have been laid at the door of the Colonel.
