Jane Campbell

Jane Campbell was found dead at 50 Commerce Street, Glasgow.

She was found dead at her mother's house under what were described as somewhat suspicious circumstances.

Jane Campbell was also known as Jane Gow and was a widow.

A man who was said to have been in the habit of visiting her was arrested, but nothing more is known about any charges.

It was heard that Jane Campbell had been drinking heavily for some time and that since the previous Saturday that she had been drinking to excess.

On the Tuesday night she went to bed, accompanied by her mother, and on the early Wednesday her mother awoke to find that Jane Campbell's hands were very cold, although she was still breathing. Her mother said that she tried to warm her hands and afterwards fell asleep and that when she later awoke, Jane Campbell was dead.

Jane Campbell's mother said that the man that was arrested had visited Jane Campbell at their house on the Saturday and that after he left that she saw blood on the floor and noticed blood oozing from Jane Campbell's left ear and from her nose.

However, she said that up until the time of her death that Jane Campbell had made no complaints to her.

A doctor that later examined Jane Campbell's body said that he had been unable to certify her cause of death.
