Mrs. DAUGHTERY says she knows the remains to be that of her husband by the coat, pipe, & knife, &c. WHITE says he does not recognize anything about the clothes to make him say it is Dick DAUGHTERY. Has not seen him for 3 or 4 months. H.P. DAUGHTERY says he does not see anything about clothes or otherwise to identify him as his brother. "I have [not] seen him for over one year. His wife says they are the remains of Richard and therefore I am satisfied they are his remains." Inquest verdict: Inquest held 10 Sept 1886 in Dover. "We the jury are satisfied from the evidence given here that they are the remains of Richard DAUGHERTY and that he came to his death from causes to the jury unknown."
