Marie Jones, prostitute, found dead by her landlady, Shirley Flanagan.
Mrs. Flanagan gave the following statement:
On the morning of Thursday, June 29, she passed the open door or Marie's room and called out "hello." When she did not receive a response, she looked in and found the conditions as shown in the model. Jim Green, a boyfriend and client of Marie's, had come in with Marie the afternoon before. Mrs. Flanagan didn't know when he had left. As soon as she found Marie's body, she telephoned the police who later found Mr. Green and brought him in for questioning.
Mr. Green gave the following statement:
He met Marie on the sidewalk the afternoon of June 28, and walked with her to a nearby package store, where he bought two bottles of whiskey. They then went to her room where they sat smoking and drinking for some time. Marie, sitting in the big chair, got very drunk. Suddenly, without any warning, she grabbed his open jackknife, which he had used to cut the string around the package containing the bottles. She ran into the closet and shut the door. When he opened the door, he found her lying as represented by the model. He left the house immediately after that.
