\u201cThe Witness for the Prosecution\u201d was first published in the USA as \u201cTraitor Hands\u201d in Flynn\u2019s Weekly,<\/span> 31 January 1925.<\/p>\n

M<\/span>r. Mayherne adjusted his pince-nez and cleared his throat with a little dry-as-dust cough that was wholly typical of him. Then he looked again at the man opposite him, the man charged with wilful murder.<\/p>\n

Mr. Mayherne was a small man precise in manner, neatly, not to say foppishly dressed, with a pair of very shrewd and piercing grey eyes. By no means a fool. Indeed, as a solicitor, Mr. Mayherne\u2019s reputation stood very high. His voice, when he spoke to his client, was dry but not unsympathetic.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must impress upon you again that you are in very grave danger, and that the utmost frankness is necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n

Leonard Vole, who had been staring in a dazed fashion at the blank wall in front of him, transferred his glance to the solicitor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know,\u201d he said hopelessly. \u201cYou keep telling me so. But I can\u2019t seem to realize yet that I\u2019m charged with murder\u2014murder.<\/span> And such a dastardly crime too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr. Mayherne was practical, not emotional. He coughed again, took off his pince-nez, polished them carefully, and replaced them on his nose. Then he said:<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, yes, yes. Now, my dear Mr. Vole, we\u2019re going to make a determined effort to get you off\u2014and we shall succeed\u2014we shall succeed. But I must have all the facts. I must know just how damaging the case against you is likely to be. Then we can fix upon the best line of defence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
