On the day after the inquest George Oswald went to see his nephew in Castlehurst Gaol, and again repeated his assurance that however poor Jim had come by his death, his cousin had neither art nor part in it.
"I did not let it out at the inquest, for there was no question asked that pointed that way, but I told William Gray, of Wilta, privately, and I will give evidence at the trial, that I had made my will absolutely in your favour, Kenneth, and that you knew it. William Gray says that will carry the greatest weight with the Jury to prove you guiltless."
