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.
Mr. JENNER. The type you get when you send clothes to the cleaners and
they come back on these wire, metal hangers, what--was that the type?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Well, I imagine. I couldn't tell. Now, I--no; I didn't
pay any attention to him.
Mr. JENNER. Your recollection serves you now that there were hangers,
but you cannot recall whether they were the wire type or whether they
were wooden?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. When he left, he just carried them off. I never did look
at his clothes at all.
Mr. JENNER. You impress me as a lady that wouldn't be fussing around?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. I didn't care enough about it. All I wanted him to do was
rent the room.
Mr. JENNER. Now, you had a discussion, and you rented the room to him
for $7 for that week?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Uh-huh.
Mr. JENNER. And he paid you then and there?
