1
2 Q. 4 till close?
3 A. That is correct.
4
5 Q. You remember Danny Olive, do you?
6 A. I remember Danny Olive. I think the last time I saw
7 him was perhaps four or five months ago.
8
9 Q. Do you remember he was at university?
10 A. He is at Bath University doing mathematics or physics.
11
12 Q. Did his lectures finish about 3.30?
13 A. I cannot honestly remember whether he did finish at
14 3.30.
15
16 Q. You were in charge of scheduling. Did you ask him about
17 when his university lectures finished?
18 A. He would -- or a shift would be provided for him.
19
20 Q. You were in charge of scheduling; yes?
21 A. Yes.
22
23 Q. So, did you inquire or did he tell you, or did you inquire
24 when his university lectures finished? (Pause)
25
26 MR. JUSTICE BELL: Can you remember?
27 A. I cannot remember.
28
29 Q. Can you remember whether he ever objected to being
30 scheduled at such and such a time because of a class with
31 his lectures?
32 A. No, I cannot remember him objecting to doing the
33 shifts.
34
35 MR. MORRIS: Do you remember him having difficulty getting there
36 by four o'clock?
37 A. I remember him being late on several occasions or
38 sometimes not turning up to a shift.
39
40 Q. And being late on several occasions, that may have been to
41 do with having difficulty getting there because of his
42 university lectures; is that correct?
43 A. I did not inquire as to the exact means of him arriving
44 late on every occasion, because I was not always on the
45 shift when he was, you know, when he was late.
46
47 Q. You did not try to find out the reason he was turning up
48 late on several occasion, or whatever?
49 A. No, I did not ascertain from him a reason.
50
51 MR. MORRIS: Can I ask for a bit of guidance here? As far as
52 we know, Mr. Olive is prepared to verify his statement.
53 I have not spoken to him myself directly yet. In the light
54 of that, presumably, how does that leave the substance of
55 his letter?
56
57 MR. JUSTICE BELL: He is just another potential witness, as
58 anyone else is. I mean, it is some time now since you were
59 able to give the further notes to Mr. Logan's evidence, and
60 I assumed that you had turned your mind to who, if anyone,
