上面这三种重要的说法就是弗洛伦丝·布拉沃、詹姆斯·格利医生和简·考克斯太太三个人于1876年七八月份在伦敦验尸庭研讯会上讲述的。他们的话里有实话，也许也有一些谎话。
读书笔记
是否公开但1876年的研讯会还听取了其他人的讲述，比如弗洛伦丝的女仆玛丽·安·基伯的讲述……
读书笔记
是否公开每天，女仆玛丽·安·基伯都会打扫普里奥里的几间卧室，并且生上火，让卧室暖和起来。她总会放一瓶饮用水在查尔斯·布拉沃的床边。然后到了晚上，她就是伺候查尔斯和弗洛伦丝，完成他们吩咐的任何事情。
读书笔记
是否公开4月18日周二的晚上，玛丽·安关上弗洛伦丝卧室的两扇门，带着两条狗下楼。但刚下了一半楼梯，其中一条狗又跑上楼去。当玛丽·安转身去喊那条狗时，她看见查尔斯·布拉沃打开了自己卧室的门。他脸色苍白，看上去很害怕。“弗洛伦丝！弗洛伦丝！”他大喊道，“热水！拿热水！”接着他跑回自己的房间。
读书笔记
是否公开玛丽·安很是惊讶。她等着弗洛伦丝或考克斯太太出来帮他，但她们都没有出来。也许她们没听见他的喊声，玛丽·安想。所以，她快步回到弗洛伦丝的卧室。弗洛伦丝闭着双眼躺在床上，简·考克斯坐在她身旁。玛丽·安告诉了简刚才发生的事。“快来，”她说，“布拉沃先生出事了！”
读书笔记
是否公开简·考克斯和玛丽·安来到查尔斯的卧室。她们看见查尔斯站在一扇敞开的窗户旁。他面如死灰，满脸是汗。“救命！”他叫道，“热水！给我热水！”他向窗外探出身子，吐在了下面的厨房房顶上。接着，他就倒在了地板上。
读书笔记
是否公开考克斯太太叫玛丽·安到楼下拿些热水上来。等玛丽·安回来后，她看见查尔斯坐在地板上，考克斯太太双手放在他的胸口。她是在帮查尔斯呼吸吧，玛丽·安想。
读书笔记

读书笔记
是否公开“这是帮助呕吐病人的老法子，”考克斯太太说，“用热芥末水搓他的双脚。”
读书笔记
是否公开玛丽·安试了一下，但查尔斯把水踢翻了，双目紧闭地倒在了地板上。于是，考克斯太太给了他一些热芥末水喝，再叫玛丽·安到楼下取了些热咖啡。但咖啡只是让查尔斯再次呕吐了起来，直接吐到了碗里。
读书笔记
是否公开“让马夫把哈里森医生请来，”考克斯太太告诉玛丽·安，“然后再去我的房间取点儿樟脑来。”
读书笔记
是否公开于是玛丽·安再次跑下楼去找马夫，接着又跑上楼，到考克斯太太的房间取樟脑。但她没找到。于是，她来到了弗洛伦丝的卧室。

读书笔记
是否公开“查利，你怎么了？”她说，“跟我说句话，亲爱的——出了什么事？”
读书笔记
是否公开但查尔斯没有回应。他两眼闭着，看上去奄奄一息的样子。简试着再给他喂点咖啡，但丝毫不起作用。他没有醒过来。
读书笔记

读书笔记
是否公开“叫了，夫人，”玛丽·安答道，“马夫已经去请斯特雷特姆的哈里森医生了。”
读书笔记
是否公开弗洛伦丝看上去又惊又怒，“但他住在两英里外的地方，来不及的！”她说，“为什么不去请穆尔医生？他住得近些。”她跑下楼，尖声叫着一个男仆的名字，“去把巴勒姆的穆尔医生请来，要尽快。布拉沃先生病得很重，他可能会死掉！快，小伙子，快去！”然后她跑上楼，再次跪在丈夫身边。
读书笔记
是否公开“醒醒，查利，”她说，“求你醒一醒。不要现在就离开我。”
读书笔记
是否公开Those were the three important stories heard at the London Coroner’s enquiry in July and August 1876 – the stories of Florence Bravo, Dr James Gully, and Mrs Jane Cox. There was truth, and perhaps also a few lies, in all the stories.
