(Testimony of Nancy Perrin Rich)

Mrs. Rich.
I don't recall exactly who sent them up. I cannot remember the guy's name. Really. I don't believe he is any longer with them, I understand.
Mr. Hubert.
In any case, some person from the police department came to get you the next day?
Mrs. Rich.
Yes. Subsequently, one Mr. Paul Rayburn, detective, juvenile, came to pick me up, along with his partner, Detective House. Well, we managed to find a place to live. And Paul suggested. he had a friend. And did I know anything about bartending; well, I did.
Mr. Hubert.
What place did he find you to live in? Do you remember the address ?
Mrs. Rich.
No; I don't. It was a rooming house. Actually, it was a private home more or less cut into small apartments. I believe it was a three-room apartment.
Mr. Hubert.
And how long did you live there?
Mrs. Rich.
Here is where we are going to get into difficulty. I don't remember. I cannot remember the length of time or addresses I lived at.
Mr. Hubert.
Did you live at more than one place prior to the time Mr. Perrin joined you in July?
Mrs. Rich.
Yes; I did.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember any of the addresses of the places where you lived?
Mrs. Rich.
Well, I remember I lived--when Mr. Perrin Joined me I was living on Oak Street, I believe. Then we moved to another street, and I don't remember where it was.
Mr. Hubert.
How many places do you suppose you lived in prior to the time Mr. Perrin Joined you?
Mrs. Rich.
Two, I think.
Mr. Hubert.
One was on Oak Street?
Mrs. Rich.
That was the one let's put it this way. Two including the one I was living at when he joined me.
Mr. Hubert.
And one was on Oak Street?
Mrs. Rich.
Yes. That was the big apartment building.
Mr. Hubert.
And the other was a rooming house?
Mrs. Rich.
Well, I call it a rooming house. Perhaps I have named it incorrectly. I would say a private home cut up into small apartments.
Mr. Hubert.
But you don't remember where that was?
Mrs. Rich.
I cannot remember. I can remember the house. I would probably know it if I see it. It is outside the city a little ways. It wasn't right in the heart of downtown.
Mr. Hubert.
Do you remember the name of the lady who owned the house?
Mrs. Rich.
No; I don't.
Mr. Hubert.
Now, the other was an apartment building, you say.
Mrs. Rich.
Yes. I believe now, put this as supposed--I believe it was 1136 Oak Street, but I am not sure.
Mr. Hubert.
So that both places were on Oak Street?
Mrs. Rich.
No, no. The one on Oak, I think, that was the address. I don't recall what the first one was that Mr. Rayburn put me into.
Mr. Hubert.
Let's see if I get this straight. You lived in a boarding house which was a house cut into small units, you say, and you don't know where that was located.
Mrs. Rich.
No; that is correct.
Mr. Hubert.
And how long did you stay there, do you suppose?
Mrs. Rich.
Oh, maybe 3 or 4 weeks, 2 weeks, 3 weeks.
Mr. Hubert.
After which, as I understand, you then went to the larger apartment house.
Mrs. Rich.
Yes; on Oak Street, apartment row, where all these big luxury apartments are.
Mr. Hubert.
And that was on Oak Street?
Mrs. Rich.
Oak Street.
Mr. Hubert.
And you stayed there until Mr. Perrin Joined you?
Mrs. Rich.
Yes. And for a while after. Until we found a place comparable but at less money.
