The complaining witness, who
was occupying a room in the first
floor apartment OF Miss Chamber
lin, charged that Ewing broke a
chain lock on her door about 2
am. Ewing, she said, threatened
to take her life If she resisted.

and was investigating a heavy
racket" just outside the house,
where some construction work was
in progress, during the time the
assault took place.
Miss Chamberlin testified for the
defense she slept in a room ajoin-

assault could not have occurred
without her knowing about IL.
Ewing lived at the time with his
family on Cleveland avenue NV.
