OLIVIA’S TESTIMONY. It was an extraordinary trial, and the interest and excitement increased as it progressed. Of course, the judge and all the lawyers saw plainly that Mr. Edgar knew nothing of the true facts, and that he was fighting in the dark. And Olivia knew also--felt, rather than knew--that Faradeane had refused to tell the story of the murder to the counsel, as he had refused to tell it to every one else. Mr. Edgar looked round.
