Trevascus is described as a “cantankerous” man, having many enemies. Exactly what profession bo followed is not stated. He appears to have dealt in precious metals. A medical examination revealed that there wore nine distinct wounds on the head.

The police have found a letter in Trevascus’ room, signed “.Fisher,” purporting to come from Emu Plains, stating lie would call at 9.130 on Monday night to sec deceased.
