There were five or six coffee cups
on the table in the kitchen behind the
bedroom" Inspector Kelly said. Some
of them were partially filled.
Detective Flaherty asked Iangdon

searched those coffee cups?'
"Langdon replied: The gun"
"'You wouldn't expect to find a gun
in a coffe cup. would you?' Detective
Flaherty asked
"Langdon replied that he had looked
everywhere and even had emptied the
sugar bowl"
The inspector said that after Lang
don was arrested for investigation, he
turned the officers 25-caliber auto
matte over to 1t. Fowler. He said
Langdon told him he had another :25-
caliber gun at home and that officers
were sent to obtain this weapon.
Objection Is Sustained.
When Inspector Kelly started to say
what the police found in Langdon's
home Defense Attorney E. Russell
Kelly objected and was sustained by
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue.
What the police found in Lang
don's home, it was disclosed at the
time was a still in the basement and
a small arsenal of pistols. Although
Langdon subsequently was not indict-
ed until years later in connection with
the murder he was discharged from
the force because of the parapher-
MALTA for making whisky found in
his home.
Inspector Kelly said Langdon told
him he saw a man leave the Limerick
home between l and am on Decem-
Der 81. 1880, the night of the muir
der. He followed the man to nearby
lunchroom and learned later from the
proprietor that the man was William
Paddy.
The inspector said Langdon told
him he returned to Beulah's home
about am. and shined his f1ashlight
through a window He said he saw the
girl lying on the day bed with her feet
projecting from beneath the covers.
"Langdon said she was alive at the
time" Inspector Kelly testified. Il
asked him how he knew. He replied
that there was fire in the stove and
reflected light fell on the girls feet.
He said he knew she was alive because
there seemed 70 be blood in her feet.
Il asked Langdon why he shined
his flashligit into that room. He re-
piled he wanted to see what was going
on and if anybody was in bed with the
girl"
Over the objection of defense coun-
sci, Inspector Kelly was permitted to
testify that Mrs. Mason had told him
Langdon had been annoying Beulah.
This information was given the inves-
tigator when Mrs Mason telephoned
him and asked for an interview.
Il told Langdon the dead girls sister
said Beulah told her that he had come
to the house late at night and an
noyed her while she was in bed In
spector Kelly said
Admitted Entering House.
Langdon told the inspector he had
been investigating Beulah's house be-
cause there had been complaints of
disorder.
Did you enter the girls house at
late hour and against her will and
while she was in bed?" Inspector
Kelly said he asked Langdon Lang
don't answer was Yes" Inspector
Kelly said.
Did you tell Beulah you had been
arrested for having kegs of whisky in
your car and did you tell her you
had once killed woman on the high
way?" the inspector said he asked.
Langdon denied this, he said.
What did you go into that house
on that night for?" the inspector said
he asked.
ITO see what was going on" Lang
don was quoted as replying.
Told Her Not to Tell.
Did you tell Beulah not to tell
other officers you had been in the
HOuSe. lie inspector continued.
Langdon was quoted as having ad-
mitted this was true.
Why, then" Inspector Kelly said
he asked, IF you were on legitimate
police business, did you ask her not
to tell?"
Langdon, Inspector Kelly said, re-
piled that Beulah had the names of
"a lot of detectives and policemen and
did not want other officers to know
my business"
will you give me those names?"
Inspector Kelly said he asked.

Langdon told the inspector that on
one occasion he saw Beulah in bed
and man sitting on the bed.
