"You have visited the house of the deceased in Catchpole Square?"
"On three occasions. The first on Sunday, the second on Monday, the third yesterday."
"Whom did you find in charge there?"
"Mr. Richard Remington, who gave me every facility for a thorough examination of the premises."
"Describe what steps you took, and their result."
"I first examined the bedroom and the adjoining office. On the floor of both rooms I observed the marks of a man's footsteps, with stains of blood which had been trodden upon. In three places the footmarks were partially outlined in these stains, and I took photographs of them."
"Are these the photographs?"
"Yes."
The Coroner passed the photographs to the jury.
"How do you form the conclusion that they are the footsteps of a man?"
