10 MARCH 14 1929 OUTSIDER'S VICTORY 0 ANOTHER Llftc SCRATCHINq PACKHAM TO IRISH ROMANCE WATERLOO CUP SENSATION MONEY AND MARKETS THURSDAY- SURPRISE STATEMENT AT GARAGE INQUEST CONTINUED FROM PAGE I If you are thinking of this clothing some of which is covered to such a large extent by oil I cannot see a likely stain and go for it It is hidden as it were If 1 know there is blood oil will not interfere with the test Mr Trapnell: All you can tell us is that you have not found blood on those garments but you cannot say absolutely there is no blood there? That is so EVIDENCE Joseph George Mitchell contractor of of Woodfalls near Salisbury said he advertise din a Southampton newspaper in October and received in reply a letter on the 23rd Podmore was the man whom he saw in regard to that letter which stated that tihe writer was married with no children and had been in the motor trade for 15 years He received another letter on Tuesday October 30 signed in Which the writer said: I shall be free tomorrow Tuesday and can come over Wednesday or The letter added that Thomas supposed there would be no difficulty in finding a room for himself and his wife On Tuesday October 30 I saw Pod-more at my private house between 1 and 130 pin Podmore arrived at the works on Saturday November 3 after I had had a telephone conversation with him He left my service on the Friday evening before Christmas" The Coroner: You suspected him of theft? Yes but not at the time lie left me He came and suggested he should have a leave When did you suspect him of theft? Afterwards on the same evening He did work on your cars? Did you find him efficient or inefficient? I am afraid I found him inefficient Mr Trapnell How was he dressed on October 27? So far as I can recollect in a blue suit and kind of mackintosh Thomas said he was working for a firm who were running a fleet of lorries between Southampton and London that he would have to work all night as he had promised to get a lorry ready by Sunday and that he was leaving because of friction with his son Podmore arrived on Tuesday October 30 because he had said he could call on the Wednesday When Podmore arrived for work on November 3 he was advanced £1 because he said he had lost some money Hie wage was £2 10s plus overtime and when he left he had about £10 With the consent Mr Lissy then took Podmore into an ante-room for a brief oonsultatin On his return Mr Lisby questioned Mr Mitchell who said that he saw Podmore by appointment in Southampton on the Saturday after October 23 Podmore said he had not given his employer notice but would arrange to leave soon Mr Mitchell added that lie did not think Tuesday October 30 was mentioned The Coroner pointed oufc when Mr Lissy was continuing his cross-examination that Mr evidence corroborated statements except that there was a slight difference of an hour of one visit ALD WADE DEACON Prior to the meeting of Lancashire
