Jafsie Refuses
To Don Brown Felt Hat.
How long were you sitting there?"
asked Reilly. after JafSie related how
he sat and talked with John" in the
park
About an hour and 10 minutes"
@. And he coughed only once?
A. Yes, once.
Reilly then directed Jafsie to demon-
strate how John" had his coat collar
up to his chin, and the doctor obliging-
ly showed the jury how John
hunched down with his coat collar
turned up.
He baked, however. when Reilly
wanted him to don brown felt hat
to complete the picture.
@. Will this hat fit you?
A. I wouldn't put it on, but I can
tell you docking at the hatband).
@. Have you soft hat with you
today?
A. Ha. I wear derby.
A slight litter broke the attentive
quiet of the spectators.
Reilly Gets Lesson
In Correct English.
Jafsie at this particular part of the
testimony gave Reilly a little English
lesson. correcting his question so 1t
would be grammatical.
Reilly turned the questioning back
to John.
@. How many times did he say he
was a Scandinavian?
A. Once.
Q. Did you ever say the man you
talked to had scar on his face?
A. No. I did not see scar.
@. Who left first?
A. I did.
Jafsie then narrated how he walked
from the park to the car nearby
where Reich, his companion and body
guard waited.
There was very little banter during
Reilly's cross-examination in the
morning.
Reilly went to work on the old
educator, his jaw set and with no
trace of the humor that has marked
so much of his cross-examination.
"Jafsie" Is Grim,
But Not Dramatic.
"Jafsie," too, was grim but not so
dramatic as yesterday.
He was pretty much an old, hard
headed, but sentimental school teacher
who had inadvertently been mixed up
in a mystery drama.
1t was some time before the obliging
Reilly put out his arm in traffic cop
fashion and turned, under Jafsie's
direction, until he touched the point
of the compass that the doctor de-
sired.
That broke the ice. There was less
strain between counsel and witness.
Condor said that Reich drove him
home after the Woodlawn Cemetery
episode.
@. Do you know what this is?
A. Yes, that is the envelope-the
package-in which the sleeping suit
was mailed to me.
@. Who actually received it2
A. I did.
@. Where did it come from?
A. In the mail.
@. Is that the first communication
you received?
A. Where?
O. In the mail2
A You mean in my life. No, sir.
Not the first
Condor Unable to
Identify Postmark.
What station did that come from?"
Reilly asked, motioning to Condor to
look at the postmark on the envelope.
Long and earnestly Jafsie peered at
the Cancelled stamps and finally con-
fessed. THE stamps are so blurred I
cannot see'
@. Two notes came in the package?
A. The two notes were wrapped in
