He admits he called at the shop, but finding the door locked went away. The police ascertained Phillips purchased a revolver and cartridges on Monday night which he posted to his brother in the country next morning. Spots of blood were found on Phillips' clothing, and a quantity of stock is alleged to have been stolen, which the police also found in his possession. He denies any connection with the murder.
