Maynard

detectives irritation at Maynard's con-

heightened color. Coroner Penfield's
testimony proved the man had been
dead at least twelve hours"
There you go again with Your testi-

Come, doctor, at what moment does
rigor mortis appear"
"In a general way, I should SAY"
Hayden considered before continuing,
"rigor mortis appears from the third
