The coroner, in re-opening the inquiry, intimated that only one witness of any importance would be heard, and that, with the full consent of the police, who would not, he understood, ask for a further adjournment, the jury would be called upon to record their verdict that afternoon.
The first witness called was a postman who gave evidence that he had seen the deceased coming out of the Cathedral precincts at Frattenbury between half-past eight and nine on the Saturday evening. He, the witness, was standing outside the post office, opposite the gateway into the Close, where there was an electric lamp.
