The Witness
A Romantic Disposition
The maid is alone in her house, sitting at her window, dreaming. She feels at peace with the world. She sees two men meet in the lane below.
The Horrifying Sight
She watches the older man greet the smaller, and then sees the smaller man suddenly beat him to death with a cane. She faints from the horror.
The Testimony
When she recovers, she calls for the police. She describes the murderer as small and wicked-looking, and identifies him as Mr. Hyde. Her testimony is the key evidence in the case.
