When the police went back to the boarding house later that day, [Suspect #5] was nowhere to be found. Luckily, before they started to kick down doors,  one of the other boarders showed them how to jimmy the doors open. When questioned, the helpful boarder, Waddell Pitts, also gave a description of all the other boarders and in which rooms they lived.

Both of the previously-unsearched rooms had objects of interest to the cops. Room two had a rolled-up stack of cash hidden in a jar under the bed. The total was close to $1,000. Room three had blood on a number of things in the room: the washstand, the windowshade, the bureau, a talcum powder tin, a sweat band from a cap, and other furniture in the room.
