Patrick Mulshaw's Murder

They were joined at the murder site by Patrick Mulshaw, who was a night watchman, who was working at the nearby sewers works. Although he did confess that he sometimes dozed on the jobs, he was emphatic that he had been awake between the times of 3 and 4 am, but he didn't hear or see any suspicious. But about twenty minutes to five O'clock, a passing stranger had told him, "Watchman, old man, I believe somebody is murdered down the street," he then immediately went to search Buck's Row. The police appear to have made attempts to trace Mulshaw's mystery informant but their enquiries proved to be unsuccessful.
