[REDACTED], Maryland, was interviewed at her residence and furnished the following information:
She stated that [REDACTED] was the [REDACTED] the Hoffmann Furniture Company, 2447 18th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. During [REDACTED] [REDACTED] in the [REDACTED] She said [REDACTED] sold [REDACTED] approximately five years ago and it is now Hoffmann Interiors, Incorporated, 7020 Westmoreland Avenue, Takoma Park, Maryland.
She was displayed two photographs of BRYANT COFFELT. She identified COFFELT as having been employed as a used furniture salesman on an intermittent basis from approximately 1963 to 1970. COFFELT worked on a commission basis and on occasion he would leave from work without notice and return some months later saying he had taken a medical course somewhere in the Midwest. She said [REDACTED] [REDACTED] hired COFFELT back because he was a smooth talker and a good salesman. She, however, considered him a phony because she never believed he was taking medical courses. She was unaware of any of COFFELT's private life, his associates or hobbies.
She did recall, however, that at one time COFFELT showed up at the furniture store driving a Cadillac limousine. He was in the company of an elderly man. It appeared to her that COFFELT was acting as a chauffer for the elderly gentleman. He also was attempting to sell him some old furniture since the elderly man was interested in antiques. She was unable to recall any additional information about the incident.
