She had not the slightest recollection of the remainder of that walk , but she found herself presently sitting in a quiet corner of the theatre with the paper spread out before her . She read that Stephen Laverick had been brought before Mr. Rawson , the magistrate of Bow Street Police Court , on a warrant charging him with having been concerned with the murder of a person unknown , and that he had pleaded `` Not Guilty ! '' Her eyes glittered as she read that the first witness called was Mr. Arthur Morrison , late partner of the accused . She read his deposition -- that he had left Laverick at their offices at eleven o'clock on the night in question , that they were at that time absolutely without means , and had no prospect of meeting their engagements on the morrow . She read the evidence of Mr. Fenwick , bank manager , to the effect that Mr. Laverick had , on the following morning , deposited with him the sum of twenty thousand pounds in Bank of England notes , by means of which the engagements of the firm were duly met , that those notes had since been redeemed , and that he had no idea of their present whereabouts . She read , too , the evidence of Adolf Kahn , an Austrian visiting this country upon private business , who deposed that he was in the vicinity just before midnight , that he saw a person , whom he identified as the accused , walking down the street and , after disappearing for a few minutes down the entry , return and re-enter the offices from which he had issued . He explained his presence there by the fact that he was waiting for a clerk employed by the Goldfields ' Corporation , Limited , whose offices were close by .
