TIME SEQUENCE:  EDWARD WILLIAMS

Based on Williams's original statement and his subsequent testimony. Williams apparently looked at his watch only once on Christmas Eve, when he arrived at 75 Temple Grove Drive.  All other times are approximate, based on his estimates and the known driving time between the house and the furniture store.  Where Williams estimated a range of time--between fifteen and twenty minutes, for example--the greater figure is used.

7:28 P.M.    At Tommy Zeigler's house, Williams finds a note from Tommy Zeigler, checks watch.

7:40            Zeigler arrives in a car with two passengers, goes into his house, comes out, and asks Williams to wait about ten more minutes; then drives away.

8:00            A white man and a woman pull into the drive, then leave.

8:25            Zeigler drives up alone, parks the car, and wipes it down.  Williams notices dark stain on Zeigler's pants. Zeigler gets into Williams's truck, and they drive to the furniture store.

8:35            Williams and Zeigler arrive at the store.  Zeigler enters the front door and Williams waits at the back gate.

8:40            Zeigler brings Williams into the store, tries to kill him; chases him into rear compound, pleads with him to come into the store again; Williams refuses and climbs the fence.

8:45            Williams attempts to call police from Kentucky Fried Chicken.
