Mrs. Ogden was followed on the stand by Detective Mitchell.
“Did Dr. Leonard McLane turn over to you James Patterson’s personal effects when you reached the Ogden residence last night?” inquired Penfield.
“He did, sir, and here they are,” Mitchell took from his pocket a gold watch and fob, a cigarette case, a bill folder, and a bunch of keys and handed them to the coroner, who examined each article before passing it on to the jury.
“Is this all?” he asked.
“Every single article,” declared Mitchell. “Dr. McLane and I searched Mr. Patterson’s pockets and that was all we found.”
“You are sure a miniature of Miss Ethel Ogden was not among Patterson’s belongings?”
“I am positive it was not,” stated Mitchell. “I would not have overlooked a miniature.”
“Did you examine the vicinity where Patterson’s body was found?”
“I did; the body was not moved until after I reached the house.”
“Did you see a miniature lying in the hall?”
