He found it in the hands of the police. A. Parkin said he took the gun from his brother’s room for safety’s sake, as his father had once threatened to shoot hirr. He took the gun to the police station and afterwards placed it in the car shed. When he received a demand for the gun from his father’s solicitor he did not return it, because he was afraid it would fall into his lather’s hands again.
