No amount of interrogation by Hartford officials could break down Johnsen's alibi for the night of March 1. The alibi was substantiated by one Johanssen Junge, husband of a trusted seamstress in the Morrow home at Englewood. Junge was described by Connecticut authorities as a cold, "steely" character.
