Bureau opening brief
Redfern, Hilda. 67. Keeper of Sadler's Warehouse, Oakum Wharf, the Saltyard, thirty-one years. Found at a quarter to seven on a Friday morning in November, ten years ago, on the quay under the warehouse's top loading door, by a man who sleeps in the arches at the head of the wharf. Dr. Bell: a fall from height, death within minutes. Window 10:00 PM Thursday to 2:00 AM Friday. Fog. The team filed it undetermined that January and sent the carton to our locker that spring. It never reached our shelves, and nobody asked after it. We found it this year. Her phone was in it, and one the team took from one of the names; neither had been opened. Both are open now. Also new: the court's record of an old trial, statements taken on Oakum Wharf, and answers to our letters. The answers stand. Five names. -V
