Depositions
According to depositions the body was found the evening of 28 March by the victim's wife, Mary Kewish, and a neighbour. The following day the family moved the body, washed it, and prepared it for burial. It wasn't until 30 March that someone decided to contact the police. On 31 March a police doctor examined the body and noted six wounds (four on the back and two on the chest) which he felt were caused by three thrusts from a small pitchfork. Additionally Thomas Kewish, John Jr.'s brother, admitted there was an ongoing argument between John and his father. The police felt this was strong enough evidence to arrest John, Jr.
