Ellen Pinsent, formerly chambermaid at the Grand Hotel, Plymouth, said that when the parties stayed there Mr. Paton occupied a bedroom opposite Mrs. Tasker’s. Two- or three-nights Mr. Paton’s bed had not been occupied. She had once seen Mr. Paton coming out of Mrs. Tasker’s bedroom, and thought they were married people. The bed looked as if two people had occupied it. Cross-examined, witness said she did not know that the gentleman some nights went to Torquay. It was about seven in the evening that she saw the gentleman coming out of the bedroom, and Brown gave similar testimony as to the beds. From the appearance of a bed, she could tell how long it had been slept in (laughter). A waiter from the same hotel said he had seen Mr. Paton go into Mrs. Tasker’s room dozens of times about seven o’clock in the evening.
