ID:	854019 I've atrached a page on the Nichols murder.

    Rumbelow says it was Cross who suggested they prop Polly up, and it's Paul who refuses.
    Is this correct? Or is this an earlier research gaffe on Rumbelow's end?

    Any info on this appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi Barbara,

    In The Telegraph - Witness suggested that they should give her a prop, but his companion refused to touch her.

    - so they have Cross suggesting it


    In The Times version - The other man, having put his hand over her heart, said “I think she is breathing.” He wanted witness to assist in shifting her, but he would not do so.

    - so they have Paul suggesting it


    The Echo: Sit her up," I replied, "I'm not going to touch her.

    - So they have Paul suggesting it.


    The Star: He suggested they should shift her - set her up against the wall - but witness said, "I'm not going to touch her.

    - So they have Paul…


    It looks like The Telegraph got it wrong and it was Cross who didn’t want to touch the body

      Thanks Herlock.
      Hm...
      But why would Donald Rumbelow go with the Telegraph then?
