old rug and bloody cotton quilt When these were lifted, a human head was exposed to view. Further examination revealed the body was considerably decomposed. It was later identified as Mrs. LeRoi's. In the smaller trunk, opened by Lieut. Ryan, also, was found the dismembered body of Miss Samuel son. Swathed in bloody blankets, were two sections-the feet at- tached to the legs from the knees down, and the head and torso. Let ters, blank paper, sheets, a clinical thermometer, photographs were also discovered, and breadknife bent in a half-circle.
 Both bodies were clothed in night gowns. He did not examine the bodies for wounds at that time.
 Disposed of Quickly
 Quick disposition of the bodies after the staying was indicated, by the testimony of Lieut.. Ryan and Dr. Wagner. The former said Mrs. LeRoi was lying on her left side, the feet in one corner of the trunk, knees drawn up, and the head in another croner. Dr. Wagner said the bodies would have been set in rigor mortis in six hours after death and could not have been bent after that.
 Chemical Expert Tinker, of the Los Angeles Police Department, tes- tified to finding the hatbox with .25 caliber revolver which he identi- fled. It had blood on the handle. In the box were, also, surgical dressings, towels and blue dress. He also identified the suitcase with the lower part of Miss Samuelson's torso which was wrapped in 8 sheet and a blanket.
 Coroner Is Called
 Chief Deputy Coroner Tracy, Los Angeles County, who conducted the inquest, described the conditions of the two bodies. In his examination of the trunks he discovered a pair of ice skates attached to shoes, a mute reminder of the Alaska resi- dsnce of one of the victims.
 Dr. Wagner followed Tracy to the stand, describing in detail the wounds made by the pistol and the manner in which Miss Samuelsons body was dismembered.
 The bullet entered Mrs. LeRois head over the left eye, entered the brain, continued its course from left to right, inward and somewhat downward and lodged beneath the skin on the right side. He re- moved the bullet. Miss Samuelson was shot over the right ear, the bullet passing through the head and emerging on the left side. There was also wound in the left side that came out from beneath the arm.
 In his opinion, he asserted, the gun was placed against the head in each instance, and described what he said were powder marks.
 Tn addition to the bullet wound in the head, Miss Samuelson's skull was fractured and there was a superficial puncture about one half inch deep in her neck. The body had been severed at the abdo- men and there was large cut in the right groin. Lacerations were in the fingers.
 Killing Done at One Time
 The slayings were done at the same time, Dr. Wagner said. The reason for the difference in the stages of decomposition was said to be due to the fact that the blood had been drained from Miss Sam uelson's body. Bodies stiffen in six hours after death in the Phoe- nix climate and could not be bent after that time without tearing of skin and tissues. AS there was no such tearing of Mrs. LeRoi's body, :. must have been placed in the trunk shortly after the killing was done.
