While he gave his testimony , Mr. Dunbar watched her closely for some trace of emotion , but she met his gaze without the movement of a muscle , and he detected not even a quiver of the jet lashes that darkened her proud gray eyes . Antony Burk next testified that he had given the accused instructions about the road to Elm Bluff , when she arrived at X -- ; and that after buying her return ticket , she told him it was necessary she should take the 7:15 train , and that she would be sure to catch it . The train was a few minutes late , but had pulled out of the station twenty minutes before the prisoner came back , when she appeared much annoyed at having missed it . Then she had sent a telegram -LRB- a copy of which was in the possession of the Solicitor -RRB- , and requested him to allow her to remain in the ladies ' waiting-room until the next train at 3:05 . He had directed her to a hotel close by , but she declined going there . Thinking she was fatigued and might relish it , he had , after supper , carried a pitcher of iced tea to the waiting-room , but though he remained there until nine o'clock she was nowhere visible . He went home and went to sleep , but the violence of the storm aroused him ; and when he took his lantern and went back to unlock the ticket office , he searched the whole place , and the prisoner was not in the building .
