“He said he wanted dinner for two. He said he was very particular to get some mutton chops, peas and potatoes. He said to send out for the chops if I had to, but he wanted chops.”

“When was that order received?”

“At five minutes to eight.”

“How did you happen to notice the time?”

“Because I told him it might take a little time to get the mutton chops. I wasn’t certain we had any.”

“Did you have some?”

“Yes. When I went back to talk with the cook, I found out we did, although they weren’t on the bill of fare that night. He just had a few in the icebox, not enough to put on the menu, but he made up an order for two all right.”

“And you took this meal to the apartment?”

“I did.”

“That was John Milicant’s apartment?”
