In the East London Observer, Sept.1, 1888, the mortuary keeper is a Mr. Edmunds
The ELO version of events seems garbled compared to the inquest testimony, I suppose Mann and Hatfield could be the two scavengers mentioned, but odd that Edmunds is not mentioned anywhere.
I don’t think this Edmunds has been identified?
At any rate, just thought I’d mention the ELO-report since it shows that Vallance had no real business at the mortuary, which had its own keeper.
Yes, I thought that might be the case, but as Mann was described as a workhouse inmate, it seemed a little odd, as the Mr. Edmunds mentioned in the ELO seemed more…respectable?
