(Testimony of Mrs. Mahlon F. Tobias)

Mrs. Tobias.
Three.
Mr. Jenner.
They are a three-room apartment and they are all three-room apartments?
Mrs. Tobias.
All three room.
Mr. Jenner.
And you and Mr. Tobias occupy one?
Mrs. Tobias.
Yes; we do---we have apartment 7 over here on Davis. You see, we live on Davis and this is Davis, like I drew it out here, you see, and we live on Davis. He lived over here-he lived over here at 602, and do you want me to put 602 there?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes; put 602 there is it 602 Davis?
Mrs. Tobias.
No; it's Elsbeth, but--shall I mark that out--this side is 602 over here, and this is 604 over here.
Mr. Jenner.
All right, put the 604 right under the apartment No. 2.
Mrs. Tobias.
Do you want me to strike over that?
Mr. Jenner.
No; no, you are fine--604 is an entrance into apartment 604, is that right?
Mrs. Tobias.
That's correct.
Mr. Jenner.
And they occupied apartment 604?
Mrs. Tobias.
They had No. 2 right on the front.
Mr. Jenner.
They had two apartments?
Mrs. Tobias.
No; No. 2.
Mr. Jenner.
All right, No. 2, right on the front.
Mrs. Tobias.
Right on the front.
Mr. Jenner.
That's Elsbeth Street, and is that the first floor or the second floor?
Mrs. Tobias.
First--apartment 2 is downstairs and ours is the same across the front on the ground.
Mr. Jenner.
Is yours on the first floor also?
Mrs. Tobias.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
How many floors in this building?
Mrs. Tobias.
Two floors--this one has one down and one up--you see, one comes down like this and one is up like this.
Mr. Jenner.
What do you mean "one down and one up"?
Mrs. Tobias.
Well, you see, up over these now, this is a 2-story building.
Mr. Jenner.
There are apartments above each of the apartments Nos. 602 and 604?
Mrs. Tobias.
That's right.
Mr. Jenner.
That is not true at the opposite end, the west end?
Mrs. Tobias.
Here, you mean?
Mr. Jenner.
Yes.
Mrs. Tobias.
This one right here is No. 6 and over it is No. 10. Do you know what I am talking about?
Mr. Jenner.
Well, I will figure it out in a minute. I take it the entrances to the apartment building are on Elsbeth Street?
Mrs. Tobias.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
And there are some apartments in the rear that go all the way through, do they?
Mrs. Tobias.
We have a back entrance and a front entrance. Now, my back entrance goes out on Davis and my front entrance comes out into this patio, and also would Mr. Oswald's come out into the patio.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, I am interested in that.
Mrs. Tobias.
He has two entrances, remember now, that he could use.
Mr. Jenner.
I'll tell you what we will do---I'm going to mark this "Tobias."
May the record show that Mrs. Tobias has been drawing a plat of the apartment building on Elsbeth Street which I have now marked "Tobias--No. 1."
Mr. Jenner.
Now, she has draw a rectangle, and the north side is Davis Street, the east side of the rectangle is Elsbeth Street. Now, Mrs. Tobias, you correct me if I am wrong.
Mrs. Tobias.
This would be south, wouldn't it yes--that would be south--he lived on this south side.
