U,IIE man in the adjoining apartment
L had heard suppressed little scream
when she had opened the doors f)llow-
ing tho heavy footsteps which ap-
proachcd her room. But It had not
been repeated. so he dismissed the mat

IL was not until the next morning
that the janitor noticed that the door
was aiar, and saw her body where it
had been flung into, corner or the
room
When Harvey Hunt had finished his
examination of the room the following
points we're listed in his notebook:

back Of neck on either side. Bruise on
arm just below elbow, reaching all the

on tapestry chair. southeast corner.
Only furS victim has are black.
Door in east wall at corner OF south
wall, Window, to street, in center of
north wall"
In cooperation with fingerprint
expert from police headquarters, Hunt
had made a thorough search for finger
prints, but found none from which sat
iStactory impressions could be taken,
except those Of the murdered woman
herself.

apartments in the building. all of whom
had lived there for year or more and
