Inspector Moir stated that the barrier across the gap, left by the lift door having been removed, showed no signs of having been knocked about recently. The distance between the top of the lift, which was stationed at the ground floor at the time, and the second floor was nearly 25 feet. Blood was found on the top of the lift, which was also indented. The dent appeared to have been made by some one's heel. The space between the lift and the back of the shaft was 9% inches.
Inspector Moir stated that when he arrived there was a light on in the corridor opposite the lift entrance.
The Coroner: Mr. Toon stated in evidence that just before 5 pin. there was no. light on in the corridor. There was something like fifteen minutes between his being in the corridor, and Inspector Moir being there, during which anything might have happened. Some one must have switched on the lights in the meantime.
The inquest was adjourned until 1030 am. on February 2
