interesting and important piece of evidence.
She stated that on Monday, April 10th,
whilst staying together at an hotel in Liver-
pool, they looked through the morning
paper. After leaving the hotel Galbraith
asked her whether she had read about the
murder at the Salford Docks. She replied
that she had, and Galbraith then said to her
that he knew the dead man, and, in fact,
had had a drink with him the previous week,
and he then asked her whether she had
noticed the description of the Chief Steward
at the bottom of the paragraph. She had
jokingly asked him whether it was him the
Police were looking for and he replied that
it could be in view of the fact that he had
been with Percey the week before. Mrs. X.
then suggested that he should go to the
Police and give them what information he
could, but Galbraith replied that it was the
Salford Police who were investigating the
murder and he would go when he got home.

Mrs. X., in her statement went on to say
that after breakfast the next day, Tuesday,
they were unable to get a newspaper in the
hotel, but immediately on leaving Galbraith
bought a paper and, after glancing through
it, said to her that the Police were still
looking for the Chief Steward.

Following the detention of Galbraith ex-
haustive enquiries were made at all likely
places in the Docks area; in the vicinity of
Mrs. X.’s home and in Liverpool where
they had spent the week-end, with a view
to getting a complete picture of his move-
ments at all material times. These enquiries
were particularly successful, and the Police
were able ultimately to account for the
whole of his movements following the mur-
der until the time of his arrest, with the
exception of one short gap of about three
hours.

In NEED OF MONEY

It was also ascertained during the course
of these enquiries that Galbraith had, for
a considerable period, been short of money
and had been in the habit of obtaining
from the officials at the Merchant Navy
Shipping Office loans or advances of his
‘Pool’ money and that on April 5th—the
day prior to the murder—he had attempted
to borrow from a ‘Pool’ official the sum of
£1 but had been successful only in borrow-
ing 10s.
