Heating, charging and solar, managed from one simple app in a quiet revolution.
Some of the reported clues must be received with caution.
No end of stories are rife in the neighbourhood, told with an air of circumstantiality which on examination proves to be utterly baseless.
Almost the sole testimony which seems to have any bearing on the affair is that given by a young woman named Pannier, who sells roasted chestnuts at the corner of Widegate Street, a narrow thoroughfare about two minutes' walk from the crime.
Mrs. Pannier is reported to have stated that shortly after noon yesterday, a man dressed like a gentleman said to her, I suppose you've heard about the murder in Dorset Street?
And when she replied that she was aware of it, he said, I know more about it than you.
He then proceeded down Sandy's Row, a narrow thoroughfare which cuts across Widegate Street, looking back as if to see whether he was watched.
Mrs. Pannier described this person as a man about five foot six inches high, with a black moustache and wearing a black silk hat, dark coat and speckled trousers.
He carried a black shiny bag, about eighteen inches long and a foot deep.
it will be remembered that this description agrees fairly well with the personage previously described and that the black bag has more than once figured in the evidence given.
