stand. City Sergeant Rogers was called.
He was asked about the condition Of the.
open window in Rubys room. Like the

the sill. This was on the morning after
tho hVn1icide-Monday, September 9TH
The sergeant said he had seen the fern
dish removed and had noticed a rim or
mark on tho sill indicating that the pot
had been there some time.
''Do you know whether 1t was there
the night before-when you went to the
house after the murder?"
..Iya recollection is that 1t was there
that night, butt can't be positive"
Did you notice any cobwcbs?"
