She didn't scream after leaving Dorsey's office until she reached the side walk. And then she commenced hollering and carrying on that she was going to jail; that she didn't know anything about it, or something like that. No, I had no warrant for her arrest. She had committed no crime. I held her to get the truth. Mr. Dorsey told me I could turn her a loose as I pleased. That was after she made the statement.

If you give any one who has drunk a chocolate milk at about eight o'clock in the morning, cabbage at twelve o'clock and thirty or forty minutes thereafter, you take the cabbage out and it is shown to be dark like chocolate and milk, that much contents of any kind vomited up three and a half hours afterwards would show an abnormal stomach. It doesn't show a normal digestion. If a little girl who ate a dinner of cabbage and bread at 11.30 be found the next morning
