Amud 7a

תוס' ד"ה אי

If the borrower is not here, does he not go after the guarantor? - אי ליתיה ללוה לאו בתר ערבא אזיל

Summary:
One should be careful by monetary issues that the witnesses are not relatives even to the guarantor.

תוס' ד"ה דלמא

Perhaps there was a puncture in the place of the sword - דלמא במקום סייף נקב הוה

Summary:
According to the ר"ת, if בי"ד would ask the עדים, whether there was a נקב במקום סייף and they answer, we do not know, the killer will be freed. However תוספות disagrees and maintains that not knowing is no cause to release the killer, but rather the גמרא meant that they would ask so many questions that eventually the עדים would contradict each other.

תוס' ד"ה כמכחול

Like a dye applicator in its tube - כמכחול בשפופרת

Summary:
We can either say that ר"ט ור"ע could not save the עובד ע"ז ומחלל שבת, or they can save all חייבי מיתות by suggesting that the transgressor may have been a טריפה making them an עדות שא"א יכול להזימה which is an invalid עדות.
