"And you took money from this man who had violated you against your
will?"

"Yes."

"You asked him for money?"

"Yes."

"This is the first time you have told about this second and third
assault, is it not?"

"Yes," the witness admitted.

So far all that Miss Travers had said hung together and seemed
eminently credible; but when she was questioned about the chloroform
and the handkerchief she became confused. At the outset she admitted
that the handkerchief might have been a rag. She was not certain it
was a rag. It was something she saw the doctor throw into the fire
when she came to her senses.

"Had he kept it in his hands, then, all the time you were
unconscious?"

"I don't know."

"Just to show it to you?"

The witness was silent.
