John William Harrison: "he (William Heath) was up in a corner of the tap room of the Castle and Falcon, which is very dark -it was on Sunday, the 6th of July, between eleven and twelve o'clock; that part of the room is particularly dark -he was stooping down, reading the newspaper, which was the reason I could not see his face." |
