(Testimony of Mary E. Bledsoe)
Mrs. Bledsoe.
I must have been in the kitchen and he came back there and put the milk in, I guess.
Mr. Jenner.
Did he have milk with him after he returned that 40 minutes?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No, not the 40 minutes. That was the bag.
Mr. Jenner.
See, this is what I'm trying to concentrate on for the moment, before you get the milk. And I am trying to take it sequentially. He paid the $7 and signed the register in your living room?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And without any further words to you he turned and left Your home, is that accurate?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes; that's about right.
Mr. Jenner.
He returned in 40 minutes?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Uh-huh.
Mr. Jenner.
Now, sticking right to that point, when did you become aware of the fact that he was then back ,in your home, that is, at that point?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
That he he hadn't gotten the milk yet?
Mr. Jenner.
No; this is when he first returned.
Mr. Bledsoe.
Well, I don't know. I was just around the house. I didn't pay any attention to him.
Mr. JENNER. So, I take it, then, when he made that first trip back, you didn't see him?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
You don't know what he had with him on that occasion?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Well, I guess he had the bag, didn't he?
Mr. Jenner.
I want to stick with what you knew at that instant of time. What you found out afterwards, I'll go into that in a moment. You didn't see him return?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
You don't know what he had with him when he returned?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. Jenner.
At that instance, because you didn't see him?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. JENNER. But, you were aware; now, you became aware of the fact that he did return?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes.
Mr. Jenner.
Did you have a conversation with him at that point?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No.
Mr. JENNER. When did you become aware and I gather from your earlier testimony you became aware that he had brought that into your home, or there was in your home some additional luggage. When you first saw him he had
this soft canvas bag, or canvas bag, whether it was soft or not that is uncertain.
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And then you became aware later that day that there was another piece of luggage, and, am I correct about that?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Now, I think he said he was going to get some more. He was going to get some more and he had some boots, too, in his hand maybe he brought those the last time. I don't remember.
Mr. Jenner.
What kind of boots?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Well, they looked like they were about up to here [indicating].
Mr. Jenner.
Up to the knee?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No; about there [indicating].
Mr. Jenner.
Oh,----
Mrs. Bledsoe.
There.
Mr. Jenner.
Just a little above the ankle?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
Uh-huh.
Mr. Jenner.
About 3 inches above the ankle?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
I don't know what they used them for.
Mr. Jenner.
Were they cowboy boots?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No; it wasn't cowboy boots.
Mr. Jenner.
Were they canvas, leather, or rubber?
Mrs. Bledsoe.
No; just leather
