In the interview the cleaner says there were 5 boxes. He was asked if the gun was loaded and he said yes and there were some 'spare shots'; whatever that means I don't know! Perhaps there were some loose cartridges but I'm only guessing what he meant by that. He definitely said he put the cartridges in the hanky and carried them down (to the foreman). Maybe it was a few loose shots he put in the hanky not the boxes? I really don't know but I agree that it would seem difficult to put five boxes in the hanky.
Whether it was the boxes of cartridges or loose cartridges that he put in the hanky doesn't alter the fact that he said he put the cartridges in the hanky and carried it down. He must, therefore, have handled the hanky.
