has seen her frequently since she has

portance to the alleged finding of a blood
spot on tho door of the room that was
occupied by Ayers, as a thorough search
was made on the morning the body was
discovered and had the blood been there
at that time it is exceedingly improbable
that It would have been overlooked.

condemnation VS. brought 10 light 10y Dr.
edward Schaeffer, who found that at
tempts haG been made 70 alter AID even
TO obIiterate certain blood marks and
stains that were Of exceeding importance
70 the prosecution. Many people had ac-
cess to the premises and some Of them are
doubtless responsible.
Even the impression Of the bIo0d-staIned

fortunately DIT. SChaefTer was able 10 re-
move al Of these marks with chemical

Schaefier is Of the opinion that the room
should have been sealed Immediately upon
the discovery OF the serious nature Of the
crime, and that no one should have been
admitted who did not have immediate
business there.
