All the bojs testify that Ward refused to go into the room,
and Worthington swears he said ''he did not come for an
explanation."

I come now to a most important fact — Knight, Benedict,
Pope, and Crawford, all swear that Ward had his right hand in
his pocket when he entered the room, and kept it there 'till he
drew the pistol and fired. Another confirmation of Bob you
will perceive, who swears he did not have it in his pocket either
when he came in or during the conversation. Look now gen-
tlemen, at the positions on the diagram of these four boys, and
you will see that each one of them could have readily seen the
fact" he testifies to. Knight noticed it from the window in
Storgus's room as he entered the gate, and having been as he
tells you, told by young Victor Ward,i;hat Matt, was coming
round to " give Butler hell," he hastened into the large room
and saw the prisoner enter with his hand still in his pocket.
