Sometime after 11:00, the night of January 15, 1888, Mrs. Emma Belden was awakened by someone ringing the front doorbell. She went to the door and heard the person trying to get inside.
“Who’s there,” she called.
“Let me in,” a gruff voice responded.
“You can’t get in.”
The man outside started kicking the door, trying to break in.
