Att was in the terminal station
on the south side over the door
back of the man who calls the
trains.
Q-You observed that clock at
that time?
Al did
Sent Girls to Store
Q-You say it was then $50?
Ayes.
Q-Go ahead.
Ave crossed the street to the
north entrance of Blocks store and
stood there until the girls had
crossed the street over to the 5 and
10-cent store.
Q-And which direction did you
say they had gone?
A-They went east.
Q-Had you given the girls any
instructions as to what they should
Ave had.
Entered Block Store
Q-After you saw the girls safely
across the street, tell what hap
pened.
Ave entered Blocks store and
went to the second floor to look for
dresses
Al tried on two dresses. They
didn't suit me. 1 didn't like any of
the dresses they had there at
Blocks.
GLOW long, if you have any idea,
did you remain in Blocks at that
first occasion.
Ave were there a half hour
probably.
Q-Then go ahead and tell what
you did upon leaving Blocks store
on that occasion.
Bought Two Ties
Ave went out the east entrance
Of Blocks store and south to Wash
ington street and east toward Gray
sons, and on our way we passed
WaSson's store and noticed a tie in
the show window that appealed to
us. We stepped into the east en-
trance of Wasson's store, right on
the street floor, and the tie counter
was just on the inside, and we
asked the clerk to get the tie out of
the show window. He said that
wasn't their custom and that he
would ask the window clerk to get
1t out of the show window. When
he seen that we wasn't going to buy
any, because they couldn't show us
any similar that we liked, the clerk
finally said he could get the tie.
He also remarked they were having
special sale that day on ties and
that by taking two we could get
them cheap, so we took two ties.
Estate whether or not the
brown tie that has been exhibited
here in court was one of those in
the window,
Alt was.
Tie Is Identified
Q-That was the one that was in
the window?
A-As I remember it, that one
was a blue tie with a white and red
figure.
Q-Have you been unable to find
that tie recently?
Al guess they haven't.
Q-Did any one pay for the ties
there?
Ayes, my husband.
Q-JuSt proceed with the events as
they took place, in the order of
their occurrence.
Ave went out of there and
went east to Grayson'S and asked to
be shown the dresses, and they
didn't have but three or four dresses
in my size, and none of them ap-
pealed to me, so we left there. We
weren't there more than ten min
uteS. We crossed the street to L.
S. AyreS store and went up there
on the second floor and were shown
dresses there, quite a number. 4
don't remember the number of the
dresses. They didn't suit us, so we
left.
