Chief Medical Examiner's journal Sunday, December 31: "In this other room over here we keep the bodies. On this side the numbers on the lockers and the numbers of the lockers containing the bodies are both the same so we can give a body a key number - take a tag and tie it on his big toe. "I presume this is all pretty gruesome to you. Most women get the creeps. You can see that tier of files in there looks like oversized filing drawers. Each one of them has a body, kept under just the amount of refrigeration." Erle Stanley Gardner, writing in The Case of the Glamorous Ghost, 1955.
