"Well, I wanted to have a little run before I went to bed. I'm used to taking exercise every night—I always did at college, to keep up my training."
"Where did you go when you were running?"
"I may be mistaken in the directions, but it was across the square, opposite from Mulberry Street. I turned to the right. I must have run perhaps four or five blocks, I don't know just how far it was. It was quite warm."
"Did you come into this street?"
"I don't really know."
"You didn't see anybody?"
"Not a soul. I didn't hear a sound."
"What time was that?"
"I heard the clock strike one before I turned back."
"Gentlemen of the jury," said the coroner, "it was just about that time that Joel Tarbush was killed, right here."
