Mr. Jenner.

Mrs. Paine has torn from the package some sticky tape.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

It is wider than the variety we have heretofore identified--is it your recollection that this sticky tape came on this particular package when it was delivered to your home?

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

And is this paper the paper in which the blinds came in the first instance?

Mrs. Paine.

These blinds did not come to me from Sears, Roebuck, but that--I used to replace them did. Now, whether the shades I bought came in this package, I have no idea whatever.

Mr. Jenner.

Well, is it your recollection that this paper in which the blinds are now wrapped came from another package that was delivered to you and not a part of a general supply of paper which you had in your home?

Mrs. Paine.

It was certainly not part of a general supply of paper.

Mr. Jenner.

Is it your recollection that the sticky tape that appears on this wrapping was affixed to the package which this is?

Mrs. Paine.

As you said, yes.

Mr. Jenner.

This paper--when delivered to your home, having nothing to do with the curtain rods or the rifle or anything else hereon, is that right?

Mrs. Paine.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, we see in back of this package that we have just described a much longer package also wrapped on--in light-tan wrapping paper--at this time a little bit darker, I think, than the package we have just been describing, and Mr. Howlett has now mounted again the work bench and is measuring that package. That package, Mr. Howlett, is also on the shelf.
Agent HOWLETT. The same shelf in behind where the other package was.

Mr. Jenner.

And it is how long?
Agent HOWLETT. Three feet nine inches long, as it is folded now.

Mr. Jenner.

And in general is it a rectangular package?
Agent HOWLETT. Yes, sir.

Mr. Jenner.

But its shape is not as well defined as the shorter package we have already described?
Agent HOWLETT. No, sir; it seems to be a little bit bigger at the north end.

Mr. Jenner.

Mrs. Paine, before we open it, what is in that package?

Mrs. Paine.

My best guess would be that it contains two pull blinds which I did have in the southeast bedroom.

Mr. Jenner.

When you say "pull blinds" you mean venetian blinds?

Mrs. Paine.

No; I do not. I mean roll-type.

Mr. Jenner.

Mr. Howlett, would you be good enough to take that package down and we will open it in Mrs. Paine's presence here.
(At this point Agent Howlett complied with the request of Counsel Jenner.)

Mr. Jenner.

It contains, does it not, what you call the pull blinds, and which I, in my vernacular call spring window shades.

Mrs. Paine.

All, right, that's correct, and these are cut to fit the windows in the southeast bedroom.

Mr. Jenner.

Mr. Howlett, there are two of them, one of which is how wide?
Agent HOWLETT. Two feet six inches.

Mr. Jenner.

And the other one is?
Agent HOWLETT. Three feet six inches.

Mr. Jenner.

And Mr. Howlett and Mrs. Paine, these two spring window-shades are the customary type we see on windows, these, however, are white or cream colored, and are plastic?

Mrs. Paine.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

And they are opaque?

Mrs. Paine.

That's right.

Mr. Jenner.

Neither is metal?

Mrs. Paine.

No.

Mr. Jenner.

The spring to which the shade itself the plastic shade is attached, is wood, inside of which there is the usual window shade spring.

Mrs. Paine.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

The paper in which these are wrapped likewise contains as did
