Mrs. BLEDSOE. There.
Mr. JENNER. Just a little above the ankle?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Uh-huh.
Mr. JENNER. About 3 inches above the ankle?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. I don't know what they used them for.
Mrs. JENNER. Were they cowboy boots.
Mrs. BLEDSOE. No; it wasn't cowboy boots.
Mr. JENNER. Were they canvas, leather, or rubber?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. No; just leather.
Mr. JENNER. Heavy-soled?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Heavy-soled.
Mr. JENNER. Heavy-soled. Rubber soles?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Oh, no; leather.
Mr. JENNER. Any hobnails in them?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. No.
Mr. JENNER. Hard heel or flat heel? I mean, flat sole and heel?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Oh, they had a heel, too. I remember them having that. He
must have brought those in when he brought those the last time.
Mr. JENNER. You do not recall his having the boots at the time you
first--at the first time you talked to him?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. No; I don't believe he did.
Mr. JENNER. But, you became aware of the boots afterward?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Uh-huh.
Mr. JENNER. At, or about, or after the time he returned from this
40-minute absence?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Uh-huh.
Mr. JENNER. And was it at the time you noticed the boots, did you also
notice that he had additional items of luggage?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Well, he went to get the luggage.
Mr. JENNER. Did he say that?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. No; I don't know whether he did or not. I know he--I
don't know.
Mr. JENNER. Did you have a thought in mind when he left after he paid
you the $7 and signed your register that he was going somewhere to
obtain additional articles of clothing?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Well, I thought that.
Mr. JENNER. You thought that? He didn't say anything to you about that,
however?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. No; he didn't say anything. Didn't talk much.
Mr. JENNER. It is clear in your mind that he just turned around after
you finished the transaction and left and returned in 40 minutes?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. I thought he said he had to get some groceries, but maybe
that was after he got the luggage, I don't remember.
Mr. JENNER. You had become aware that afternoon that he had additional
articles of luggage?
Mrs. BLEDSOE. Come in about 3, about 4 he got the rest of the luggage.
Mr. JENNER. Now, this additional article of luggage, would you describe
it, as compared with----
