Margaret Odell's apartment was

description of the house and its in

what peculiar structure of the
building played a vital part in the
seemingly insoluble problem posed
by the murder.
The house, which was a four
story stone structure originally built
as a residence, had been remodeled,
both inside and outside, to meet the
requirements of an exclusive indi-
vidual apartment dwelling.

separate suites on each floor; but

The main entrance to the building

! About halfway down the front
hall, ON the right-hand side, was
the stairway leading to the floors
above; and directly beyond the stair
way, also on the right, was a small
reception room with a wide arch
way instead of a door. Directly OPP
posite to the stairway, in a small re-
cess, stood the telephone switch
board. There was no elevator in the
house.
Another important feature Of this
ground-floor plan was a small pass
ageway at the rear of the main hall

past the front walls of the Odell
apartment to a door opening on a
court at the west side of the build

the street by an alley four feet wide.
