left the home for Boston about 3
j. II. September IS. the day of the
murder. He has stated since that
they had light luncheon of canned
shrimp just before he left.
Counsel for the defense il is un-
derstood. Will contend that the find

stomach indicates that she was alive
after her husband departed, and had
an opportunity TO eat another meal
before her death, which. in those cir
