:55:04
There was glass on the floor,
and fragments were found outside.
:55:08
The glass outside was not consistent with
the window being forced from the outside.
:55:13
You're saying that someone made it look
as if it had been forced from the outside?
:55:19
My lord, I must object. My learned friend
is putting words in the witness' mouth.
:55:24
After all, if he insists
on answering his own questions,
:55:27
the presence of the witness
would seem superfluous.
:55:30
Quite. Don't you think so, Mr Myers?
:55:33
Yes, my lord.
:55:36
Inspector,
:55:37
did you ascertain if any of the murdered
woman's property was missing?
:55:41
According to the housekeeper,
nothing was missing.
:55:44
In your experience, Inspector,
when burglars or burglaresses
:55:49
break into a house,
do they leave without taking anything?
:55:53
No, sir.
:55:54
- Do you produce a jacket, Inspector?
- Yes, sir.
:55:57
Is that the jacket?
:56:03
- Yes, sir.
- That is exhibit P1, my lord.
:56:06
Where did you find this, Inspector?
:56:08
That is the jacket
found in the prisoner's flat,
:56:11
which I handed to our lab
to test for bloodstains.
:56:14
- And did you find any bloodstains?
- Yes.
:56:16
Though an attempt
had been made to wash them out.
:56:19
What tests were made?
:56:21
First to determine
if the stains were human blood,
:56:25
then to classify it by group or type.
:56:27
And was the blood
of a particular group or type?
:56:30
Yes, sir. It is type O.
:56:33
And did you subsequently
test the blood of the dead woman?
:56:36
- Yes, sir.
- What type was that?
:56:40
The same. Type O.
:56:42
Thank you, Inspector.
No further questions.
:56:46
Inspector, you say the only fingerprints
you found were those of Mrs French,
:56:51
Janet McKenzie and Leonard Vole.
:56:53
In your experience, when a burglar breaks
in, does he usually leave fingerprints
:56:58
- or does he wear gloves?
- He wears gloves.
