2. Wilbert Coffin had taken a few articles out of Lindsey’s Truck (including a rifle).
3. Wilbert had spent $60.00 (US) on a trip to Montreal ($40.00 given to him by Richard Lindsey and the other $20.00 from cheques that he cashed at the bar of the Baker Hotel).
4. What happened to the other $500/$600 (US) that Eugene Lindsey might have carried it?
5. Wilbert Coffin had no fear spending the $60.00 (US) on the Montreal trip.

7. Nobody had ever seen Wilbert Coffin take a 32/30 Marlin or any other weapon into the woods before or after the Lindsey party arrived in Gaspé. Reports from pathologists established that a handgun could have been the weapon used to kill the two boys.

9. At least two Inquest Jurors had voted against the second verdict.
