Expressman casts doubt on woman's alibi
A Los Angeles expressman testified that Mrs. Margaret Willis framed Dr. Benjuwin Baldwin, claiming she moved his body from her apartment and later helped conceal it in a trunk then in the country. He described dispatching the trunk at about 10 o clock Friday morning and an incident with a closet revealing a possible body part. Police doubt Mrs Willis's account as coroner's inquest awaited testimony later today.
