Inspector Chandler, recalled, said he reached the mortuary a few minutes after seven. The body did not appear to have been disturbed. He did not stay until the doctor arrived. Police-constable 376 H was left in charge, with the mortuary keeper. Robert Marne, the mortuary keeper and an inmate of the Whitechapel Union Workhouse, said he received the body at seven o'clock on Saturday morning. He remained at the mortuary until Dr. Phillips came. The door of the mortuary was locked except when two nurses from an infirmary came and undressed the body.
Chandler left 376H in charge, with the mortuary keeper in a locked shed, but when the nurses arrived the body was in the yard. There was some monkey business going on here, but that doesn't prove the same thing happened with Eddowes body.
