All Zimmern know, said Mr. Sheldon, was that the prisoner had let him down by not sending the lawyer to him as had been pɛB- nised. He suggested that the one thought in Zimmern's mind was that the man was trying to save his own neck instead of helping Zimmern and Zimmern's response then was that he would tell alt he knew.
It was suggested by the defence that the whole story, or practically the whole story, of Zimmern and Christie was a pack of lies but the only reason put forward by the defener was that the two witnesses had intended to swindle prisoner.
