Jacob Berliner, proprietor of that building on Water Street, testified that the scuttle on his roof had been locked on the morning of the murder. It doesn't seem as if the next building over from Berliner's had its scuttle or roof disturbed or that the owner of that one was even questioned. Seems too far of a jump to attempt.
