He asked the lieutenant for it and was refused . `` I want it '' was what the lieutenant had said . Mr. Blake , very calm and very white , was brought in next , and faced the impressive coroner and his jury . He corroborated Hogan 's statement as to Ray 's language about the pistol ; said that he had gone to bed up-stairs at eleven o'clock , leaving Ray reading in the room below , and knew nothing more of the affair until called by Hogan , when he had run to Mr. Gleason 's quarters , and after a moment had taken Ray home and insisted on his going to bed . The lieutenant was just recovering from a severe illness , was weak and unstrung , and the affair threatened to bring on a relapse . There had been an open breach between the two officers for over two years , and of late , he knew not how , it had widened . The deceased frequently maligned Lieutenant Ray , and the latter never spoke of him without aversion .
