English: Description of events & information that accompany the Two-Story Porch diorama:

Reported to Nutshell Laboratories, Monday, April 5, 1948.

Mrs. Annie Morrison, a housewife, was found lying on the ground below a second story porch.

Harry Morrison, the husband of Annie Morrison, relayed the following:

On Monday morning, April 5, 1948, at about eleven o’clock, he was in the kitchen of the top story apartment where he and his wife lived. Mrs. Morrison had done the week’s washing and was standing on the chair out on the porch hanging it out on the line to dry. Mr. Morrison heard a sort of noise and went to see what it was and found conditions as represented by the model. He had a job on the late shift but was up earlier than usual that day as he hadn’t worked the day before, which was Sunday.

Mrs. Agnes Butler, a neighbor of the Morrisons, gave the following statement.

She lived in the apartment below the Morrissons. She had bathed the baby on Monday morning, April 5, and put him in his carriage. She had done his way and hung it out to dry. She was cleaning up the kitchen when she heard a crash and rushed out onto the porch and saw Mrs. Morrison lying on the ground below. The Morrisons quarreled a lot and Mr. Morrison didn’t treat his wife very well. He drank some and Mrs. Butler guessed he had lady friends besides. She heard the Morrisons quarreling that morning.
