Book, page 130 / 433 the table." _Albert_.--"Do you recollect whether it was standing _upon_ the tray or not?" _Witness_.--"It was not _upon_ the tray, as I recollect: no, I'm sure it was not, for I carried to the furnace first the tray and all that was on it, and then I remember, I came back for this, which was standing, as I said before, as it might be here, in the middle of the table." _Albert_.--"Was any body, except yourself, at the furnace, or in the room, from the time that this vase was brought to you, till you put it into the furnace?" _Witness_.--"Not as I remember. It was our dinner-time. All the men, except myself, were gone to dinner: I stayed to mind the furnace." _Albert_.--"It was you, then, that took this vase off the tray, was it?" _Witness_.--"No, it was not. I never took it off the tray. I told you it was not upon the tray with the others; I told you it was upon the table, as it might be here." _Albert_.--"Yes, when you were going to put it into the furnace, you said that you saw it standing in the middle of the table; but you recollect that you saw the workman who brought it put it upon the tray. You told us you remembered that circumstance perfectly." _Witness_.--"Yes, so I do." _Albert_.--"The vase could not have got off the tray of itself. You did not take it off. How came it off, do you think?" _Witness_.--"I don't know. I can't tell. Somebody, to be sure, must have taken it off. I was minding the furnace. My back was to the door. I don't recollect seeing any body come in; but many might have come in and out, without my heeding them." _Albert_.--"Take your own time, my good friend. Recollect yourself; perhaps you may remember."
