Letter from Mary Cowen at the Coroner\u27s Office re: the answer brief of Samuel H. Sheppard re: the Petition to the Supreme Court of Ohio for a Writ of Habeas Corpus. The letter addresses a card that Cowen had in her files regarding the blood-stained watches.
The card was never part of the official record of the Coroner\u27s Office; it was a notation for Cowen\u27s own reference regarding the watches and blood stains. The notation, reading Turned over to Prosecutor\u27s Office (Miss Hart) 11/4/54 at 10:27 AM, referred to the watch itself; it was made solely for Cowen\u27s own information.
Cowen wrote the letter to assistant prosecuting attorney Gertrude Mahon to clarify the inaccuracy about evidence and these notations (cards), which were inaccurately described in the Sheppard Answer Brief Petition to the Supreme Court of Ohio for Habeas Corpus
