Does anyone know if these statements in McCormick can be substantiated in any way? Ch 12: "Mr Henry Wilson, who paid [MJK's] funeral expenses, discovered that, after leaving Cardiff, she went, not to the West End of London, but to set up a tiny, drab shop in Commercial Road out of the paltry proceeds of compensation paid by the mineowners after her husband's death. And it was because these tycoons of the coalfields had kept her waiting eighteen months for this meagre sum that she had drifted into prostitution in Cardiff." Ch 13: "It transpired afterwards that Hutchinson had once had a job as a night-watchman, which was not only one reason for his inability to sleep at nights, but for his talent for memorising exactly what people looked like."

Timsta, It's mere McCormickian twaddle. David
