“Yes.”

“I have Saturday night off,” Itsumo said. “I have appointment with friend to study enlargement of films at camera school. Class is eight o’clock. I hurry very quickly, get finished with dishes thirty minutes behind eight o’clock. I telephone my friend and take street car twenty minutes behind eight o’clock. I get to class just short time before class starts. I think perhaps one minute.”

“And were Mrs. Breel and Miss Trent here when you left?”

“Miss Virginia leave before I did, perhaps five minutes. Mrs. Sarah Breel is here, please.”

Sergeant Holcomb turned to Virginia Trent. “Did you,” he asked, “clean the gun after you shot it?”

“Certainly. I cleaned it and oiled it in my room. My uncle showed me how to take care of it.”

“And you cleaned and oiled it?”

“Yes.”

“And reloaded the gun?”

“Yes.”
