Coroner, and also in court, testified that
Mrs. Ogilvie was in her room on the floor
below when she went upstairs and found
that Ogllvie had disappeared through the
window. About three minutes previously
Parker had been downstairs, urging Mrs.

| she now states that Magnus was walking
in the corridor. smoking his pipe, Parker
was in the act OF going out OF room 20 and
Magner was sitting on the sofa. Ogilvie
had disappeared. and on asking where he
was she was told he had jumped or fallen
out of the window. She rushed out of the
room and cried to Mrs Ogilve, "My God,
Bob has fallen out of the window" and
Mrs. Ogilvie went upstairs.
| Police Officer Ryan states that on the
Dight the three men were arrested Magner
said in the City Prison that Mrs. Ogilvs
was in room 90 when Ogilvie fell out of the
window, which Is in direct contradiction
to what Mrs. Garcia and Mrs. Ogilvie had

hands withdrawn from Oglvie as he was
pushed out. but because 1t was dark Y
could not see whether Niey were the hand9

| The tailor's testimony was corroborated
| by James Regan, a saloon-keeper, who
was also an eyewitness.

Ogilvie had lived with Parker. but the
court ruled it irrelevant and immateral.

had fallen from the window he went to
