McKinnon,
whose

about
40
feet

from

told
of
going
to
bed
about
midnight.
He
read
for
a
while,
then
was
aroused
by
a
commotion
down
the
hall.
"I
heard
this
commotion
down
the
hall,"
he
testified.
"I
opened
the
door
of
my
room
and
found
all
the
lights
in
the
hallway
off.
Then
the
fighting
stopped
and
I
heard
a
man
groaning
and
gasping
like
he
was
strangling."
"I
ran
to
the
head
of
the
stairs
and
called
Hagblad.
I
told
him
to
bring
a
flashlight.
He
cams
a
few
minutes
later
and
we
went
to
room

a

He
was
lying

and
was
almost
naked.
"Another
man
stepped
from
behind

as
we
entered.
I
did
net
set
a

look
at
him.
I
don't

he
was,
"I

I
said.
"What

the

answered.
Then,
according
to
McKinnon,
Hagblad
left
the
room
to
go
and
telephone
the
police,
and
the
strange
man
followed.
McKinnon
went
hack
to
his
room.
McKinnon
said
that
he
and
Hagblad
were
able
to
find
the
room
because
of
the
groaning
and
gasping
which
followed
the
uproar.
"The
