On July 22, 1912, J.D. Smith returned to his home at No. 420 East Forty-first street in Los Angeles, California. He had returned home from a trip through the state and his home was not how he had left it. It was in a way that he never would have thought of coming back to.
He first noticed a mysterious pencil checkmark on the front door when he entered the front porch. When he entered the parlor he notice a light grey hat covered in blood. This however was not the only thing covered in blood. There were stains on the carpet, and streaks on the piano. The piano itself was even broken as the lid had been cracked from one end to the other. Oddly enough even though there was obviously a break in there were no signs of anything being stolen.
When he asked his neighbors to see what had happened in his home no one knew. No one stated that they had seen any men or boys about his home. One thing J.D. did note is that his neighbor's doors also had strange pencil marks.
Police investigating inclined to believe that boys had entered the home and started a fight near the piano resulting in blood and broken piano.
