They forced an entrance at the reas
and Grossfield went In with them. In
the little back bedroom, of the kitten
en-, the door OF which was locked,
Mrs. Walshs two dogs were barking.
Grossfield and the officers forced open
the door and the former, entering tho
room to quiet the dogs. came upon
the body of Mrs. WEIGH. Witness de-

and condition OF the room.

KITE FISHER.
| Thep rosecution will show that there
was nothing unusual about her action
In making this entry, which now be-
comes an important bit OF evidence.
Fur weeks the police had been trying
10 drive Mrs. Welch out of business.
and while they had practically sue
ceeded. Mrs. WEIGH insisted on re-
naming there. Kittle Fisher, among
others In the neighborhood, IL will be
shown, had been instructed to keep
close tab on the place and report any
thing that took place within to the
Officers. Thus, whenever the piano
was played. or hotw ords were ex.
changed between Mrs. WEIGH and her
callers. the incident was noted down
and reported to police headquarters.
SO II was quite natural. the prosecu-
ton will claim. that Kittie should
make a note OF the fact that Mrs.
WEIGH moaned.
Discrepancy In Testimony.
Kitte also testified that the last
time she heard the plano going in Mrs.
WEIGHS apartments was about 7
O'Clock on the evening OF Jan. g. In
this particular there is quite q dia-
crepancy between her statement and
that OF Grossfleld,. who was sure he
had heard the piano going shortly be.
