The story of the claim of two women to be the wife of an unemployed marcher who died ne. Willesden had a remarkable bequel. It is now clear that the con- fusion arose from the fact that the man, Walter Tompkms, had a living counter- part of the same name, town, and age, the resemblance being heightened by the fact that be also báre, exactly similar head scars.

had been informed by a relative that he had been been at Luton. Having seen a reference in the paper to the death of Walter Tompkins, from Laton she believ ed the man was her husband.
"Before seeing the body she was asked to give a description of her husband, and ahe particularly mentioned a scar on the nose, a scar on the back of the head, blue eyes, reddish-brown moustache and bair, and height 3ft. 9.2/1.
She then viewed the body and identi fed the min as her husband.
