to these statements. His story
skipped from the time he said
good-by to his wife In the morning
to the hour when he returned from
work
When he knocked on the door
then, there was no answer, he said.
He went to the basement and got
the janitor to admit him with the
pass key. Then he handed the
ianitor a can of paint which had
been in the apartment and went
into the living room.
Thought She Was Asleep.
He had glimpsed his wife's body
on a day bed, but assumed she was
sleeping, he said.
Il went over to shake her" he
said. Her face was a mottled blue
color. l felt her pulse and there
was none. I pushed down on her
chest to give her artificial respira-
ton, but there was no response. The
next thing I remember was going
upstairs to Mrs. Hodes' apart
ment."
Mrs. Jerome Hodes was a neighbor
who had been friendly with Mrs.
Abramowitz. She followed Mr..
Abramowitz on the stand and told
how he had come to her door three
times within a few minutes in the
afternoon.
The first time he had told Mrs.
Hodes that he couldn't get an an
swer at his door and asked if she
had seen Mrs. Abramowitz.
The second time, he had come
up to return the pass key to the
janitor, who was in the Hodes' apart
ment. At that time, Mrs. Hodes
asked him II he ''had found Rose"
He said She's lying on the bed
asleep. I am going to wake her up 4"
The next time Mr.. Abramowitz
appeared at her door, Mrs. HodeS
said. he was excited and cried out
Call an ambulance. There's some
thing the matter with Rose"
Doctor Testifies.
In his testimony, Mr.. Abramowitz
had mentioned only two visits to
Mrs. Hodes' apartment and admitted
under cross-examination that his
recollection of events in the few
minutes between the time the janitor
let him in the apartment and the
time he discovered his wife was
dead was hazy."
Following Mrs. Hodes on the stand
were police who told of the pre-
liminary investigation and Coroner
A. Magruder Macdonald and DR..
Lewis Ripley, former Emergency
Hospital ambulance doctor, who told

and powerful bandits" with Germany
and Italy as much the enemies of the
