“I looked in at the bank" he Baid. "Mr. Abbey, whom I bad met numbers of times on the omni- bus going to Spennymoor, spoke to me by name.
"I asked him if my friend had been in, and he said he bad not, and that if my friend did not hurry it would be closing time, I then said I would go out and see if he was coming.
"I returned to the bank about five minutes past three, and found the door closed. I was surprised as Mr. Abbey had promised to keep open till my friend came.
I tried the door; it sprang open, and I was pulled inside by Sinclair. He was smothered with blood.
"He threatened me that if I
