The witness is wearing some very old fashioned clothing, like a top hat.

When was the last time you saw either half of her?

A common illusion that magicians perform is sawing a person in half on stage. Here, the person they sawed in half is missing --- and so the judge is suspicious that the magician had something to do with her disappearance, and asks if he has seen either half of her. It's unusual to think someone could have disappeared after being sawed in half. There's an additional play on the word "saw" which refers to both seeing and also literally sawing, as in the illusion.
