The defendant described his first visit to the Harrison Morgue with The World man, “There was only a candle in the Place,” he said, “and I didn't think it was her. They didn't give me time to make a careful examination, and The World investigator got me in a corner end talked to me for three hours until I was disay.” “If you'd had a better opportunity fo examine the body that night you Would have?” asked Mr. Simpson. “Yes.” Whitmore said he had been badgercd by questioners on the morning of Jan. 4. “There were 3 files at the house that morning,” said the witness.
