Scope and Content
Her husband keeps the Turf Hotel at St Albans. Last Saturday Mr Vyse informed her he had missed some plait the Saturday before so she was very particular in watching the room. The only person she so go into the room was someone from St Albans named Sherrington - she is sure he did not touch the bag. She saw the policeman Lacy examine the tie of the bag. As Lacy came out Thomas Gee went in. She saw him take the bag out, but he did not open it. He rested the bag a few minutes outside the gateway and then took it away.
