MILKMAN MERTES.
"Were there any lights in the house?" he was asked.
"Yes, there was a light, a small one, in the front room of the first floor. I could see it through the blinds."
"Could you distinguish the loud words you heard?"
"No, I could not. I tried to, but as they were spoken in the house they did not reach me."
"Did you hear any sounds that would indicate that a scuffle was in progress?"
"No; I listened for them because I thought there was a fight."
"Did you hear any loud words before the man from the buggy entered?"
"No, I didn't; but I was a long way from the house then."
