Davies tells BR he has been sitting with Helm and obtained a statement from him, which he encloses (not present).

"It seems to leave no doubt that Barry was met by Dora on Thursday and has been living at Telegraph House. Helm hopes to see Gillam on Sunday evening, and will report further to us. There must be another affidavit by Helm and perhaps Mrs. Helm, and also by Hines."

"If the presence of Barry at Telegraph House is established contrary to Maw's emphatic letter I can hardly imagine that Dora's advisers would allow the petition to come to a hearing."
