The jury had been selected from

rain storm that had ever visited the
district. Houses and barns were I'M

flooded and the electric traffic lines

Winston claimed that he had been

struck Lisle he left the electric car
he was in, which was dismantled by
the storm. He knew that his young
wife would be worrying about him, he
said, and he resolved to start across

deserted factory a mile out of Lisle.
Seeking it's shelter, he found COM

artist, his name Arthur Vaille. They
had chatted and smoked until after 10
O'Clock. The stranger had gone on
to Esle, and Winston proceeded
home.
His wife was forced to testify that
he did not arrive there until after
midnight, an unusual circumstance,
