When he came off outpost duty on January 3l, Lieut. Grigg stated, he unloaded his revolver and left it in his equipment. The rounds from the weapon he placed in a small cardboard box in his equipment. He was quite certain that he took out all the rounds. It was part of Private Roy's duty to clean the revolver when it was out of store, he said. Normally ít would be cleaned when drawn out and when put back.
Witness last saw Private Roy alive at about 10.30 a.m. on February 4 in his room. Deceased appeared to be quite normal Witness left the room to go to the Mess where he stayed until about 118 am. Upon his return to his room he noticed the door leading to the cleaning room was ajar. He again returned to the Mess to get some correspondence and came back to his room again.
"I then remembered I wanted to speak to Private Roy and I called him by name," 2nd Lieut. Grigg continued. "Getting no answer I went towards the cleaning room. On approaching I saw his legs sticking out from behind the door and I concluded that he was asleep. On entering the room to wake him up, I noticed that he was half sitting, half lying on a chair with his head over the sink..A service revolver was lying by his left leg with a cleaning rag. There were bloodstains in the sink and on the floor. He was bleeding from the head."
