Getting out, he removed a clothes bag and a hat box and took them into the room and returned to get two large suit- cases out of the trunk. Returning to the motel room he put the cases on the luggage stands and turned to lock the door and to check the blinds on both sides of the room to be sure they were drawn close and afforded no peep holes.

The light remained on in the room for another hour or so and then went out.
