At trial, P calls White to testify that on the afternoon of May 31 he saw the doorway to Howard's house hung with black crepe and bedecked with white lilies.

(2) At trial, P calls Weir to testify that he saw Dr. Munroe, Howard's attending physician, examine Howard on May 31 and then pull the bed sheet up over Howard's head.
