(turn King's (Queen's или амер. state's) evidence)...if they get the inquest over, and Bolter turns King's evidence: as of course he will from what's said already; they can prove Fagin an accessory before the act, and get the trial on on Friday, and he'll swing in six days from this, by G -! (Ch. Dickens, ‘Oliver Twist’, ch. L) —...если они закончат следствие и Болтер выдаст остальных - а он, конечно, выдаст, судя по тому, что он уже сказал, - они могут доказать участие Феджина и назначить суд в пятницу, а через шесть дней его вздернут, клянусь богом!
