TIME SEQUENCE (ESTIMATED): DON FRYE

Don Frye compiled a time line of the events in the store and at 75 Temple Grove, interpreting the statements of Edward Williams and Felton Thomas and other evidence.  Frye believed that Williams's time estimates were generally ten to fifteen minutes too early.  The times are approximate.
