Enquiries go to show that MacMahon was in town on Saturday evening, the day after the tragedy. On Sunday he played cards with young fellows and viewed the train for the cemetery carrying his victim. He entered into a discussion on the tragedy and viewed the train with other R through field glasses from the balcony of an hotel. He complained that he had had a bad bead through booze obtained at Blackball where he alleged he. went for his lugage.
