Mrs. Bledsoe.

Uh-huh.
Mr. JENNER. You call on your recollection and tell me all you can tell me about the bag he had at that time, its size, its shape. In another connection, Mrs. Bledsoe, it is prior events that are important to us. If we can possibly find out or get as accurate a description as you can give us. Sit there relaxed and tell us what you remember about this bag, what size it was; what shape it was; whether it was hard; whether it was soft, what color it was.
Was it zippered? How was it fastened?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

I don't know whether it was zippered or not. But seems to me like it was, though.
Mr. JENNER. Just start from the beginning and tell us what you remember about the bag that he had when you first saw him at the door.

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, it was just a blue---like a canvas bag.

Mr. Jenner.

Canvas?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

And, I don't know whether it was zippered or not.

Mr. Jenner.

You don't recall a zippered sort of bag?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

I didn't even look. It was about that long, I guess [indicating].

Mr. Jenner.

You are indicating about 26 inches?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

About that long.

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Then, he had some things on his back.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, would you mind if we stuck with the bag?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, that's all.
Mr. JENNER. Well, it was 26 inches long and you think it was canvas, and you think it was blue in color?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

What was its shape? Was it a round sort of soft kind of bag or was it--did it have firm, stiff sides? Was it rectangular?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, I couldn't say. Couldn't say. Didn't pay any attention to it.
Mr. JENNER. Your recollection does serve you that it was not what we would call a suitcase?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

No; looked like an inexpensive bag of some kind.
Mr. JENNER And your memory doesn't serve you that there was any sort of zipper thing, and you do seem to have a reasonably firm recollection that the color of it was blue?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Uh-huh.

Mr. Jenner.

Did it have a handle on it?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.

Mr. Jenner.

When he picked it up

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Well, that is---
Mr. JENNER. I was trying to get an idea, and well--I have a coat here, and using it for purposes of illustration, when he picked up the bag by the handles did the bag sag, or was it firm?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

I didn't pay any attention. Didn't pay a bit of attention.

Mr. Jenner.

Now, I notice from your testimony that he also had, on this occasion, at this time, in addition to the canvas bag, blue in color, he had some things over his arm, or over his shoulder?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

On a coathanger.

Mr. Jenner.

He had some articles of clothing?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

On coathangers.

Mr. Jenner.

On coathangers?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Yes.
Mr. JENNER. And were those draped back over the shoulder or arm, or was he holding them by the hooks or hooks on the hangers?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. I think he had them on coathangers, just--I guess--I don't know--he was standing there. I don't have no idea.

Mr. Jenner.

Just how he was carrying them, you are uncertain, but you are certain that he had articles of clothing on hangers?

Mr. Bledsoe.

On coathangers.

Mr. Jenner.

Were---would they be wooden coathangers or the metal?

Mrs. Bledsoe.

Metal ones.
