The Four Blows in a Bed

I would imagine there's nobody else in that room. To me, this sounds like there's an interruption to this attack. The neighbors and whoever was in neighbors next door in the boarding house said they did hear something that might have been a struggle around midnight. But nobody did anything. Nobody called the police. Nobody investigated. Six children who were sleeping in the other room didn't hear a thing. Never heard a thing. I guess if with a couple of strong blows, you've completely incapacitated someone and they're not going to make a noise. It is interesting though that the attacker goes in, inflicts the four blows in the bed and you said she was sexually assaulted in that bed
