- put into an envelope. At 9.40 Juditha calls Nicole to
- tell her that her glasses have been found and that they
- are kept at the restaurant. A few minutes later Nicole
- talks to her friend Ron Goldman, a waiter at "Mezzaluna",
- who volunteers to take the glasses to Nicole. He leaves
- shortly afterwards, at approximately 9.50 pm.

- O. J. Simpson plans to leave on a trip to Chicago this
- evening. He and a friend go out for a Hamburger with
- Simpson´s Rolls-Royce. They return from Mc Donald´s at
- 9.35.

- At around 10.15, Pablo Fenjves, a neighbor of Nicole,
- hears a dog bark. 45 Minutes later, when goes to bed, the
- dog is still barking. At 10.30, another neighbor, Steven
- Schwab, spots a lonely dog in the neighborhood of Nicole´s
- residence. He notices that it has blood on its paws and
- its legs. The dog later turns out to be Nicole´s white
- Akita "Kato".
-
- Meanwhile, over at O. J.´s estate, the limousine driver who
- is to take O. J. to the airport arrives. The time: 10.25 pm
- No one appears to be home, so he waits till 10.40 before
- ringing the intercom buzzer. No one answers. In the
- meantime, Kato Kaelin, a friend of O. J. who stays at the
- guest house, is on the phone talking to his girlfriend. At
- about 10.45 he hears three loud thumps on the wall. In the
- $Preliminary Hearing he describes what he heard. %Play Sample@@ NOISE
- After a few minutes he grasps a flashlight and goes out to
- investigate. At his point the limousine driver spots
- someone inside the compound carrying a flashlight. Almost
- simultaneously he sees a black person, about 6 feet tall,
- $§crossing the driveway@@ ESTAT towards the house. Less than a
- minute later, O. J. answers the intercom, claiming he has
- overslept and just got out of the shower.
- As Kato Kaelin searches for the source of the noise, he
- notices the limo driver, still waiting outside. He opens
- the gate for him and the limousine is pulling in.
- Only minutes later, O. J. heads for the airport for his
- long scheduled flight to Chicago.

- At midnight, a neighbor of Nicole Simpson follows the
- dog which leads her to a body near a sidewalk leading to

- suffered knife-wounds on her arms, apparently from fighting
- her attacker. Her black dress is soaked with blood. Paw
- trails are found, leading away from her.

- containing Nicole Simpson´s mother´s glasses. Also found,
- a set of keys, a cap, and a single leather glove.

- Simpson´s small children.
-
- Police quickly rush to O. J. Simpson´s estate to, as they
- now claim, notify him of the killings. Detective Mark
- Fuhrman spots a small blood-stain on Simpson´s Ford Bronco.
- As Police decide to go in without a search warrant, Fuhrman
- jumps the wall and opens the hydraulic gate. It is also
- Fuhrman who discovers the bloody glove behind the guest
- house.

- $handcuffed and taken downtown for questioning. §Show Graphic@@ ARRST
