James Mcneill Bailey v. State Texas

At 1:45 P.M. on February 11, 1974, Shirley Seiber, the deceaseds neighbor, arrived home for an appointment with the deceased, Imogene Apple. At that time Mrs. Seiber saw the deceased at her mailbox and they had a brief conversation. Afterwards, Mrs. Seiber went into her house and remained there for fifteen to twenty minutes. Then she went through the back yard of the deceaseds residence and knocked on the sliding glass door that leads into the den. She tried the door and found that it was locked. At that time, she testified that she heard a "bumping racket." Mrs. Seiber walked around the outside of the house past the side utility door and came in through the garage door leading into the den.
