Mary Revell - the previous night between 8 and 9pm at Mrs Graves' of the White Swan, where she lives as servant to Mrs Graves, as she was going from the front kitchen she met Fraser with a linen gown under her arm. She asked what Fraser was doing with it as she knew it - Fraser said she fetched it down stairs. She took it from Fraser and gave it to her mistress, who sent for the policeman. Henry Gamble - on going to the White Swan he found a number of persons in teh back kitchen. Fraser was showing what things she had in her apron, but he found nothing suspicious on her other than the gown now produced.
