Close-up of windows of the house of W. H. Bowers in Los Angeles. The photograph was taken in the course of a court proceeding in which his wife, Olive Orr Brugen-Schmidt Bowers, was accused of plotting to poison him with her friend Elmer M. Archer. Olive Bowers used window shade signals to let Archer know if her husband was at home or not. The poison plot was overheard on the 2-party telephone line.
