marked by her sc. R. X"

ronlied the witness after deliberate
investigation.

Of the handkerchiefs to Chief kiause
and Sheriff julius AS far as she knew,
the ones in evidence were all that
George had, except some silk ones.
The pepper and salt coat and vest
and trousers were identified by the VII

continued to wear this suit for several
,vealys after the homicide, said the Wit
moss and also the cravennette overcoat
and brown derby hat. Heard Wednes-

ut nv watch, but cannot tell what TIN
it was to the minute The evening
the murder, I am not sure Wheth
George said anything when he came
or not. There is no particular reas'
WHY I should remember how long

went out of one door and came rig
back through the other. Don't kn'
whether he had hat on when he
standing by the table. Glanced up a
saw some of his nair 1t was smo(
and I think it was parted. The NJ
morning [ saw George and Paul ii
nauf sitting at the table and L SUI
and listened for some time to II
conversation, for they were talk
about the homicide.
Gen. Childs read some OF the tie
mony given by the witness at

ed. George bought three or four
time. l5neyer bought half a dozen {
time, After buying, I never comp
them to see whether they were OF
form size. Don't know how many h
kerchiefs George had in his pocl
wnen [ showed the officers those at
house.

handkerchiefs marked &c. R. KOCH
asked her whether the borders WEI
the same width. She thought that
would be the same if ironed just {
When she had first examined the bi
handkerchief in the presence OF u
