coroner's hearing. He said that while
he sat in the waiting room he saw
woman in white pass through the din
ing room. which faced the waiting
room, but which on this night, anyway,
was concealed by portieres. This wom-

not able to see her face.
/ A telephone call for the doctor came
while the body of Mrs. Bailey was be

answered it. Colder then said he got
/ the medicine he had come for from the
physician and went out.

Colder answered. 81 heard voice say
ing, Stop playing. Somebody had peeh
playing on a piano in the front or the

been admitted to the house by Mrs.
Carman at o'clock, which was the
time Colder said he had first entered,
and that Mrs. Carman wore a dark
; skirt.
