“I don’t think that any citizen of the type that Mrs. Martin was, and her husband, would ever have tolerated a citizen under the circumstances * * * that day in her home, this afternoon or the subsequent day, to be going through her house with a gun on his person and visible to other people. * * * I don’t think that is exactly a case of idle boasting, * * * claiming he is an Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Here’s a man that is carrying a gun, and he is a mature man.”
