Hello Jeff,
The significance of the Browne and Eagle watchman's claim, is that he was in, more or less, the same spot as Cross when he claimed to have first seen what he thought was a tarpaulin. Thus, backing up Cross's claim that the murder site could be seen from that distance, albeit indistinctly. Marked "A" on my map.
You might be confusing the "watchman" west of the murder scene with the railway policeman stationed further up the road. Marked "B" on my map.
