In spite of the absence of any affirmative information from the attorneys in the case, the two women plainly were brought to the county jail to identify Burch. The fact that they were brought to the jail by William B. Beirne, associate counsel for Mrs. Obenchain, demonstrated their mission was friendly toward Burch.
