Walter William Homan Sworn says: I
am Superintendent of Police at Tredegar Iron Works
I perfectly well remember the evening of Sunday the

received I directed the last witness William Phillips
and two other Special Constables to go to the prisoners

I received the prisoner into my custody on the
Monday morning - I searched him, I found nothing
