Striped Bedroom

Reported Monday, April 29, 1940.

Richard Harvey, ice-cream factory foreman, found dead by his mother, Mary Harvey.

Mrs. Harvey gave the following statement:

On Saturday night, April 27, Richard came home for supper as usual and after supper went back to work. He always worked late Saturday nights to get ready for the Sunday trade. She didn't know when he came in as she had gone to bed early. Sunday morning she let him sleep while she went to church and then, as usual, proceeded to her sister's for the day. When she returned home Sunday evening, Richard wasn't around so she opened his door and found the premises as represented by the model.

Richard was married about a year ago and brought his wife home to live. She is a nice girl and they were very happy. His wife was away now visiting her parents for a few days in another state. Richard was a good boy, but sometimes he had a little too much to drink, especially on Saturday nights. The dishpan belonged in the kitchen. She didn't know how it came to be in Richard's bedroom.
