Chapter XI
"I'll see justice done you," said Harry, still hesitating. "Thanky, sir! You see, about them police, there's the inquiss, and the doctor, and the jury, and all of them to see it; but you may take our word for it as it's all right: it's him, sure enough." "How--how do you suppose it happened?--by accident?" "Well, sir," said the first man, "it don't look very accidental when a poor chap's got two knife-holes in his chest, and a cut across the head enough to do for any man.
