was called to the stand. He described
the rooms in the Saxton block and the
manner of reaching them. Witness said
that he had often seen Mrs. George about
the block. He was asked about Florence
Klingler, who accompanied Mrs George to
the Saxton block on one occasion. That

his Office and examined the waste paper
basket. She picked up some scraps of
paper wrapped them up in a newspaper
