It is in a small apartment, about 20 by 50 feet, situate in the Scriver
block, folding doors in the center of the front opening into Division
street. It has a counter three feet high, running across to within three
feet of the west wall, and going back the whole length of the building.
This counter is mounted by a thirty inch glazed rail, leaving a space of
two feet in front, where the men jumped over, scratching the counter with
their boots. Inside of the center is the safe vault fitted with the
Detroit Safe Company’s doors, and to the left is the cashier’s chair where
poor Heywood fell a victim to the assassin’s hand. A blotting pad lay upon
the desk stained with the life-blood of the murdered man.
